Come, come let's in then Gentlemen and Ladies, And share to day my Pleasures and Delight, But Adds bobs, they must be all mine own at Night. SCENE I. Gayman's Lodging. Enter Gayman in a Night-Cap, and an old Campaign Coat tied about him, very melancholy. Gay. Curse on my Birth! Curse on my faithless Fortune! Curse on my Stars, and curst be all but Love!
She road astride, and her special pony, Bobs, to whom years but added perfection, loved the work as much as she did. They understood each other perfectly; if Norah carried a hunting-crop, it was merely for assistance in opening gates, for Bobs never felt its touch. A hint from her heel, or a quick word, conveyed all the big bay pony ever needed to supplement his own common sense, of which Mr.
Those who had been at Snow Camp the year before were able to set out quite briskly for it is an art that, like swimming and skating, is not easily forgotten. There were some very funny spills and by luncheon they were all in a glow. Later the big sledge was brought around and behind that the boys strung a couple of bobs.
'Why, even Robert might happen to think of a really useful wish if he didn't injure his poor little brains trying so hard to think. Shut up, Bobs, I tell you! You'll have the whole show over. A struggle on the edge of a water-butt is exciting, but damp. When it was over, and the boys were partially dried, Anthea said: 'It really was you began it, Bobs. We're wasting the whole morning.
A few very cold gray days followed, and then the north wind cleared the sky; and, though it was still cold, it was pleasant. The sky had only a small white cloud here and there to make its blueness the more profound. Ridgeley dashed up to the door with a hardy little pair of broncos hitched to a light pair of bobs, and Mrs. Field was tucked in like a babe in a cradle.
Now, however, thanks to the efforts of Kruger Bobs, they were living thriftily and upon the fat of the land. "How do you get it all, Kruger Bobs?" Weldon had demanded, one day. "To my sure knowledge, you've no money, and people hereabouts don't love the British. What is your secret?" Kruger Bobs ducked his bristly head into his ragged hat, and gave an explosive chuckle.
"You can try my new purchase, Monarch, if you like," Mr. Linton answered. "He's quite a decent mover I think you'll like him." Cecil bit his lip, under cover of the darkness. He coveted a ride on both Bobs and Monarch, and had given hints on the subject, but neither had been taken.
I'll undertake this moment to prove it to any man in the world, except to a connoisseur: though I declare I object only to a connoisseur in swearing, as I would do to a connoisseur in painting, &c. &c. the whole set of 'em are so hung round and befetish'd with the bobs and trinkets of criticism, or to drop my metaphor, which by the bye is a pity for I have fetch'd it as far as from the coast of Guiney; their heads, Sir, are stuck so full of rules and compasses, and have that eternal propensity to apply them upon all occasions, that a work of genius had better go to the devil at once, than stand to be prick'd and tortured to death by 'em.
"There are two of them at the store." "To be sure there are! For the moment I had forgotten that." "And all this time while clockmakers were fussing round about bobs and pendulums, did the people have to keep on running to the cathedral or the public square to find out what time it was?" "No, indeed! By 1600 you could buy for a moderate sum a clock to use at home.
A part of the story had come by way of the doctor in charge of the ambulance train which had brought him from Krugersdorp to Johannesburg, a part of it had come from the trooper's own lips, and that was the most tragic part of it all. Below, in the courtyard of the hospital, Kruger Bobs squatted on his heels in the sun and waited.
