There was nothing he need understand except that his wife, meaning well, had meddled and regretted. And now, turning in her saddle with a pretty gesture of her shoulders: "I meddle no more! Those who need me may come to me. Now laugh at my tardy wisdom, Kemp!" "It's no laughing matter," he said, "if you're going to stand back and let this abandoned world spin itself madly to the bow-wows "
Clover he conversed in the respectfully familiar tone of an old friend, now and then reporting little matters which concerned his own welfare, such as his growing conviction that at Quodlings' he had found a "permanency," and his decision to go no more to Dulwich, to sell all his bow-wows, to find another employment for leisure hours. But he was not wholly at ease.
"Oh, because we've gone straight to the dogs and very small bow-wows at that " It was about this time that Octavia began to teach Felice to play chess. The child hated it. It must have taken a sort of magnificent patience to teach her.
"I do most cordially hope that the beastly vulgarian who shaped it has gone, as my friend Mantalini would express it, 'to the demnition bow-wows. You see the beauty of the Bellamy business is that all callings are equally worthy. As a social factor I should have made a record, and would probably have gone into history as a wit." "Condemn the history! You'd have gone into life, Humphrey.
A boy's own dog, and a friendly Companion in peace or rows, As he tagged my heels in the good old times When we went after the cows. He could talk with a doggish lingo In his own peculiar way, And I could understand it all Whatever he had to say. He'd jump to my call at the moment, And utter his gruff bow-wows, As he tagged my heels in the good old times When we went after the cows.
"It's so hanged easy to go to the bow-wows out here," he added. "Not so easy as in the towns," I interjected. "Ah! but I've been there, gone all through 'em in the towns," he explained. "That's why the pater packed me off to this wilderness." And that, thought I, is why the west gets all the credit for the wild oats gathered in old lands and sown in the new world.
It's mortgaged up to the roof and he can't meet his payments. The old place has gone to the bow-wows since he started drinking, gambling, speculating and since his wife left him. All the decent crowd stopped coming." "Yes, I suppose so," agreed the colonel. "Well, keep watch of Harry King.
"Of course, there have been all sorts of rumors East: 'bull' prophecies that the triumph of the new party means an era of unexampled prosperity for the State and by consequence for western stocks; 'bear' growlings that things are sure to go to the bow-wows under the Bucks régime. What do you think of it?"
None of them, it seemed, was tickled to meet the ratel when he had finished. He was sure to be crusty; and, anyway, he had bitterly disappointed them all he had achieved the apparently impossible, and, worst part of the lot, was not dead. Now, a ratel will do almost as much for honey as a bear for pork, a leopard for little "bow-wows," or a man for diamonds.
And it was after I discovered that she was not to be dazzled that I sort of gave up. I wasn't anybody I never would be anybody; and Edyth would be the sort of woman who would expect her husband to take the front at a jump. And no sensible person could imagine me at the front of anything, unless it was a procession on its way to the bow-wows."
