Holm Boddy put up a strong resistance, Warble pushed her out of the front door and slammed it after her. "That woman has left finger marks on my nice clean soul," she said, as she went down to see the cook about the sausage. She had reached the peak of excitement in a confident decision that her party should be a success. In the morning she interviewed the cook.
'Now come, come; you're keeping Mary waiting, said Lydia, catching up the coat and holding it ready. Then Mr. Boddy understood. He looked from Lydia to Thyrza with dimmed eyes. 'I've a good mind never to speak to either of you again, he said in a tremulous voice. 'As if you hadn't need enough of your money! Lyddy, Lyddy!
She led him to talk in the gentlest way possible of how the rain had refreshed her flowers, and of this and that poor rose. I could think of nothing but the darling letter, which had flashed out of sight as a rabbit pops into burrows. Boddy departed with a rose. 'Ah, Richie, she said, 'I have to pay to have you with me now. We walked to the summer-house, where she read Heriot's letter through.
He dipped his blade, and said, loud enough to be heard by me in Catman's boat, 'Do you think French useful in a military education, sir? And Boddy said, 'Yes, of course it is. Says Heriot, 'Then I think I shall take lessons. Boddy told him he was taking lessons in the school.
Or, another while, after chafing in jealousy for a long time over the coquetries going on between Tilda Price and Nicholas the Yorkshireman flattening his own nose with his clenched fist again and again, "as if to keep his hand in till he had an opportunity of exercising it on the nose of some other gentleman," until asked merrily by his betrothed to keep his glum silence no longer, but to say something: "Say summat?" roared John Browdie, with a mighty blow on the table; "Weal, then! what I say 's this Dang my boans and boddy, if I stan' this ony longer!
On my return into the school, I found it in a convulsion of excitement, owing to Heriot's sending Boddy a challenge to fight a duel with pistols. Mr. Rippenger preached a sermon to the boys concerning the unChristian spirit and hideous moral perversity of one who would even consent to fight a duel.
My school shall see that none insult me with impunity! He laid on Heriot like a wind on a bulrush. Heriot bent his shoulders a trifle, not his head. Then we saw Boddy lay hands on him, and in a twinkling down pitched the usher, and the boys cheered chirped, I should say, they exulted so, and merely sang out like birds, without any wilfulness of delight or defiance.
'Oh! says Heriot, 'I mean private lessons'; and here he repeated one of Temple's pieces of communication: 'so much more can be imparted in a private lesson! Boddy sprang half up from his seat. 'Row, sir, and don't talk, he growled. 'Sit, sir, and don't dance in the boat, if you please, or the lady will be overset, said Heriot. Julia requested to be allowed to land and walk home.
Bower, ma'am, I don't forget as I owe you so and so much; be sure I shall come an' pay on Saturday!" If they did that, I should precious soon begin to think there was something wrong, else they'd 'old their tongues an' leave it to be understood as they was honest. Why, an' it's every bit the same with religion! Mr. Boddy listened gravely to this, and had the air of probing the suggested analogy.
'No, you didn't, Heriot retorted, quite cool; 'inferentially you did; but you did not use the word permission. 'And you turned upon me impudently, pursued Boddy, whose colour was thunder: 'you quibbled, sir; you prevaricated; you concealed what you were carrying . . . 'Am carrying, Heriot corrected his tense; 'and mean to, in spite of every Boddy, he murmured audibly.
