"What am I supposed to be doing," he said, looking at her laughing; "cleaning shoes or dibbling with love? Answer me that!" "Just whichever I please," she replied. "I'm your boot-boy for the time being, and nothing else!" But they remained looking into each other's eyes and laughing. Then they kissed with little nibbling kisses. "T-t-t-t!" he went with his tongue, like his mother.
Montagu Watson was notoriously a foe to the autograph-hunter. A genuine Montagu Watson was a prize in the autograph market. Dunstable was a man of action. When Mark, the boot-boy at Day's, carried his burden of letters to the post that evening, there nestled among them one addressed to M. Watson, Esq., The White House, Chesterton.
The boot-boy was forgiven; Princeford faded into the background of insignificance from which he had temporarily emerged. But the matter did not end there: other fingers were itching to be in the pie. Christy and Rogers, walking up from the field together, came to the conclusion that that incorrigible nuisance Caruthers had disgraced Fernhurst football.
Send them to the pantry, and I'll do something better for you next." Lucia, try as she might, could not help being rather touched by that. There they all were: "Golden Autumn Woodland," "Bleak December," "Yellow Daffodils," and "Roses of Summer."... "Or have them blacked over by the boot-boy," she said. "Take them down, Georgie, and let me send them to be blacked."
Jack, roused at this injustice, dipped the sponge into his water-jug, and returned it with force. Vickers ducked, and it exploded against the wall above his head. Cadbury watched and chuckled. The shadow cast by coming events had not quite overwhelmed the boys' spirits. When they were called, the boot-boy laid a book on Cadbury's bed as he passed.
I wonder if there is anybody in the field already?" "Not that I am aware of." "Of course you know this kind of thing spoils a girl's prospects of marriage enormously. Men won't run the risk." Winnington laughed. "And all the time, you're a Suffragist yourself!" "Yes, indeed I am," was the stout reply. "Here am I, with a house and a daughter, a house-parlourmaid, a boot-boy, and rates to pay.
I also suspect both the secretaries I hear there are two, and I hardly know which of them I regard as more thoroughly open to suspicion. I suspect the butler and the lady's maid. I suspect the other domestics, and especially do I suspect the boot-boy. By the way, what domestics are there?
He would mention it to Drummond when he came in. He would probably come in to tea. The board was spread in anticipation of a visit from him. Herbert, the boot-boy, had been despatched to the town earlier in the afternoon, and had returned with certain food-stuffs which were now stacked in an appetising heap on the table.
Parents and guardians would be surprised to learn that dear little Charlie has a language quite different from the one he uses to them a language in which he talks to the cook and the housemaid. And yet another language spoken with the real accent too in which he converses with the boot-boy and the grooms. Dickie, however, had learned his second language from books.
They had won the match, of that there was no doubt. And they had been done out of their victory. The limit was reached when, muddy and cold, they found that the new boot-boy had forgotten to heat the boiler, and there was only cold water to wash in. The changing-room was filled with the sound of oaths and curses.
