My companions held up their hands and shouted at the top of their voices, Bouncer at the same time lifting up his head and barking with all his might, as if conscious of the importance of being heard. The carioles came on at full speed along the valley, their drivers running behind them. There were twenty or thirty of them, each drawn by eight or ten powerful dogs. I could now see them clearly.
"Cox and Box," a travesty of "Box and Cox," was read and rehearsed a fortnight afterwards at Burnand's house, and the following Saturday it was performed at Moray Lodge. Du Maurier was "Box," Harold Power "Cox," and John Foster "Sergeant Bouncer."
The panting again; they lowered their lanterns. What was that lying upon the ground lying there close by Bouncer? It was Bessie! They rushed toward her. She was lying very still; Bouncer was breathing heavily. They raised her from the ground. "Bessie! Bessie! my darling, speak to me!" cried the father. Her eyes opened slowly; for an instant she did not know who held her.
"Sit quiet, Robin," said Alick. "Take the paddle and steer the canoe." Poor Bouncer would have jumped overboard also, but one of his front legs pained him, and he stood quiet with the water rushing about his feet. Alick took the painter in his mouth and towed ahead, while Martin and I swam astern, pushing the canoe before us. Robin paddled, now on one side, now on the other.
This WAS a bouncer, I confess; but my object was to deceive Puneeree Muckun, and give him as high a notion as possible of the capabilities of defence which the besieged had. "Pooch, pooch," murmured the men; "it is a wonder of a fortress: we shall never be able to take it until our guns come up." There was hope then! they had no battering-train.
"You have threes," charged Washer. "I'm conducting my business through an agent," laughed Bouncer. "There it is," and he indicated the stack of blue chips. "You have threes," insisted Washer. "The reason I'm so particular is that I have threes myself, and I want to know which are the better." "There is one clever way to find out," bantered the colonel confidently. "You have a lot of chips.
From the direction he had taken, I was in great hopes that he would fall in with poor Pat and bring him back safe. How Bouncer had come to find me, or to whom the canoe belonged, no one could tell.
Twelve stone two was his fighting weight, And he stroked our boat for the champion plate, And ran his mile in four thirty-eight, Bouncer! Bouncer! Bouncer!" This time the heroic efforts of the melodious juniors had their reward. Before the last line was reached the door of the new captain's study opened, and Riddell appeared in the passage.
Mr. Slosher turned and smiled. "Hello, Mr. Gamble!" he greeted him, while Mrs. Slosher gave him a bright and cheery little nod. "I played old-fashioned army poker with Colonel Bouncer and Ben Courtney and Mort Washer and Joe Close last night and the old robbers skinned me out of thirty-two dollars. They spoke of you during the game and I guess you could get backing to any amount in that crowd."
Gordon went into Court at the suggestion of their leading Counsel, Bouncer, Q.C., who was nothing if not theatrical. He wanted them there to see the overthrow of the enemy, and to lend point to his invective against the intruders who were trying to take away their birthright.
