Ridley was alarming to the nervous batsman. He fielded his own bowling beautifully. Mr. Lang was a slow round-arm bowler with a very high delivery, and a valuable twist from either side. Mr. Buckland was afterwards better known as a bowler; Mr. Royle could also deliver a dangerous ball; the fast bowler was Mr. Foord Kelcey, but he, again, was lame, through an accident to his foot.
The next three balls were delivered to his partner at the wickets, who blocked carefully, evidently bent on acting on the defensive while his companion made the running. From the fifth ball of that over a bye was scored, which brought Driver once again to the end facing the bowler. The next ball came slightly to the "off," and he tried to cut it.
He had moved a little towards the rails, and he was instantly aware of the girl cantering towards him, a slight, frail figure, she seemed, upon a great bay horse. She wore a simple brown habit and bowler hat, and she sat her horse with that complete lack of self-consciousness which is the heritage of a born horsewoman.
"If I could only be sure of getting him over," said he, pointing to Tubbs, "I might come back and " "Hullo! I say, Bowler, look there!" exclaimed Braintree suddenly, pointing out to sea. "Wasn't that a light? Blow your whistle, I say." Bowler obeyed, eagerly gazing in the direction indicated by Braintree. There was neither answer nor light. "I'm certain I saw something!" exclaimed Braintree.
Even before the special had drawn up alongside the platform at Cannon Street, Crook and Matthews swung themselves out and disappeared. When the train stopped, a young man in a bowler hat presented himself at the door of the Pullman. "The car is there, Mr. Bellward, sir!" he said, helping Desmond to alight.
I did not know how he would take the remark I had prepared. "I've come to see you on behalf of your wife." "I was just going out to have a drink before dinner. You'd better come too. Do you like absinthe?" "I can drink it." "Come on, then." He put on a bowler hat much in need of brushing. "We might dine together. You owe me a dinner, you know." "Certainly. Are you alone?"
My bowler was knocked over my eyes, and though an officer of the boat cried the reassuring intelligence that it was a false alarm that the gangway was "all right," and never had been anything but all right, I could not readjust my hat nor see what was going on until the fat nurse had obligingly retrieved her charge, without a word of thanks.
"Just one solitary single. Miss Burn may I call you Dolly? Do you remember that moonlight night? On the Char? In my Canadian canoe? We two?" "'S THAT?" shrieked bowler and wicket-keeper as one man. Tom looked blankly at them. He had not gone within a mile and a half of the ball, he was certain. And yet there was the umpire with his hand raised, as if he were the Pope bestowing a blessing.
"If you please, ma'am," he said, touching his black bowler as he spoke, "I see Canon Horniblow coming along the road. I think it would be more suitable for him to give you an account of what has passed. He'll know how to put it with with the least unpleasantness to all parties. It isn't our place Mrs.
He was dressed in blue serge clothes, and a bowler hat a little ancient at the brim. Neither his appearance nor his manner was remarkable for any particular intelligence. Yet the girl who looked him over was at once suspicious. "What can I do for you?" she asked a little curtly. He pointed to the crystal upon the table, and held out his hand. "I want my fortune told," he said.
