Bobus here entered, with a face that lightened, as did everyone's, at sight of Lucas. "Good morning. Ah! Jock! I didn't sit up, for I had had a long day out on the moors; we kept the birds nearer home for you. There are plenty, but Grimes says he has heard shots towards River Hollow, and thinks some one must have been trespassing there."
Your contempt for the classics shows how one-sided you are growing. Besides, I thought you knew that the days are over of unmitigated classics. You would have many more opportunities, and much better ones, of studying physical science than I can provide for you here." This was a new light to Bobus, and when Mr.
Tradition has handed down to posterity no further details regarding his Eton days beyond the record of a fight with Sydney Smith's elder brother 'Bobus. Alluding to him as a dull boy, Mr. He was long described by his Spartan mother, who thought him a dunce, as only 'food for powder. He gained no sort of distinction, either at Eton or at the French Military College of Angiers."
The man's voice was heard; they went out to speak to him, and Caroline was left with her boy. "What do you think, Ali, my dear, she said, kneeling by him, "I have often heard dear papa speak of the wonderful instinct of those bone- setting families." "I'd have nothing to do with a humbugging quack," put in Bobus.
"I don't like irregular practitioners a bit better than you do, Janet," said Bobus with dignity; "and I thought it right to call in a qualified surgeon, but I never said mother couldn't judge."
Poor Mrs. Evelyn must have thought herself providing for Fordham. Oh yes, I shall gladly lie down when these notes are done, but this is not a chance to be neglected. Now, Deo gratias, it will be my own fault if Magnum Bonum is not worked out to the utmost; yes, much better than if we had never gone to America. Even Bobus owns that all things have worked together for good!"
Rogers sneered; Sydney made merciless sport of her; Tom Moore looked excessively impertinent; Bobus put her down with simple straightforward rudeness; and I treated her with what I meant to be the coldest civility. Allen flew into a rage with us all, and especially with Sydney, whose guffaws, as the Scotch say, were indeed tremendous.
Bobus was not among them, having marched off in his contempt of the bone-setter, and his mother was not without fears that he might bring a real surgeon down on her at any moment, so she quickly drank off her cup of tea, and took her seat in Farmer Gould's gig with Babie as bodkin in front, and Joe and Armine in the little seat behind.
Clarence coloured, and bit his lip as he seated himself. Mr. Percy Bobus, with true insular breeding, took up the newspaper. "I think I saw you at Lady C.'s last night," said Clarence; "did you stay there long?" "No, indeed," answered Borodaile; "I hate her parties." "One does meet such odd people there," observed Mr. Percy Bobus; "creatures one never sees anywhere else:"
Acton's house was to be the place of rendezvous, and she would take charge of the girls for part of the day, the boys wished to shift for themselves; and Allen and Bobus had friends of their own with whom they meant to lunch. Clara met her friend with an agitated manner, half-laughing, half- crying, as she said "Well, Mother Carey dear, you haven't quite soared above us yet?"
