But as soon as Richard had got Scudamore clear of the threshold, to which he lent not a helping finger, he stepped quietly out again, closed the wicket behind him, and taking Lady by the bridle, led her back over the bridge towards the bowling-green. Scudamore had just time to whisper to Heywood, 'It is my master, the earl himself, when the voice came again. 'What! wounded, Rowland? How is this?
Charles, who had been stalking up and down the bowling-green, went slowly towards him. "What on earth do you mean by going off in that way?" he asked, coldly. "Ah!" said Dare, perceiving him, "and she the is she gone?" "Yes, half an hour ago. Your dog-cart has come back from taking her to the station, and is here now." Dare nodded his head several times, and stood looking at him.
For I had marked his left foot trailing, and, by the token, knew him for the white hair'd man of the bowling-green. "Master Hannibal Tingcomb," I spoke in his ear, " dog and murderer! What did you in Oxford last November? And how of Captain Lucius Higgs, otherwise Captain Luke Settle, otherwise Mr. X.? Speak, before I serve you as the dog was served that night!"
I noticed a couple of lawn-tennis courts, and there was a bowling-green by the house. Then there was a large kitchen-garden, with standards and espaliers, and box-edged beds. The stables, which were spacious, contained only a pony and the little cart I had driven up in, and a few bicycles.
Trim attempted to thank my uncle Toby but had not power tears trickled down his cheeks faster than he could wipe them off He laid his hands upon his breast made a bow to the ground, and shut the door. I have left Trim my bowling-green, cried my uncle Toby My father smiled. I have left him moreover a pension, continued my uncle Toby. My father looked grave.
I have heard artillery in my time, having in my younger days led a band of city volunteers in many a march and countermarch around the Bowling-Green; and for the honor of the second ward of the good town of Manhattan, I am now ready to undertake to show, that all knowledge of the art has not entirely departed from me."
Crawford was the first to move forward to examine the capabilities of that end of the house. The lawn, bounded on each side by a high wall, contained beyond the first planted area a bowling-green, and beyond the bowling-green a long terrace walk, backed by iron palisades, and commanding a view over them into the tops of the trees of the wilderness immediately adjoining.
It was bounded on the one hand by the ruined chapter-house and vestry of the old monastic structure, and on the other by the stately pile of buildings formerly making part of the Abbot's lodging, in which the long gallery was situated, some of its windows looking upon the bowling-green, and then kept in excellent condition, but now roofless and desolate.
The varied tones of animation, and the phrases uttered by the players, on different parts of the green, came through the quiet air with a cheery ring. The language of the bowling-green sounds very quaint to people unused to the game. "Too much land, James!" cries one. "Bravo, bully-bowl! That's th' first wood! Come again for more!" cries another. "Th' wrong bias, John!" "How's that?"
For he spake in the sweetest modulation and took down his hat with the genteelest movement of limbs, that ever affliction harmonized and attuned together. Go to the bowling-green for corporal Trim, said my uncle Toby, speaking to Obadiah, as soon as my father left the room.
