Speedily the bird-song seemed to grow fainter; my thoughts dropped to pieces; I seemed to be floating on fleecy clouds, in company with hundreds of cherubs with Budge's features and night-drawers "Uncle Harry!" May the Lord forget the prayer I put up just then! "Uncle Harry!"
When he was not actually occupied with Ambrose's lessons he was so entirely taken up with his own writing that Nancy's remark was perhaps true he had forgotten his pupil altogether! And yet, when Ambrose said the lesson he had prepared, or ventured to ask some question about the exercise he was doing, Dr Budge's mind came back at once from its own pursuits.
Budge's scorn of the whole "goings-on" with a grand defense of his little mistress: "Some lydies in 'igh places distribute their bounty in baskets but if Miss Gordon sees fit to carry 'ers in her pretty little 'eart, I don't say it's for us to be a thinking it isn't the 'appier way," and Budge knew he was very much in earnest because he forgot his h's, a little trick of speech he had long ago overcome.
In the course of time, she became the wife of one worthy of her in every respect their lovely children often sportively carrying off the ponderous box of brown rappee, and yet Uncle Budge never frowning. These darlings cluster round my knees, and one, more demure than the rest, thoughtfully asks: 'Why is Uncle Budge's hair not snowy white, like yours, dear Deb?
Burton's conscience smote her not over-lightly, and she hastened to change the subject, and to devote herself assiduously to Budge, as if to atone for some injury which she might have done to his brother. An occasional howl which fell from the attic-window increased her zeal for Budge's comfort.
Miss Mayton gave a little start, and my thoughts followed each other with unimagined rapidity. SHE did not turn the conversation it could not be possible that she COULD not. She was not angry, or she would have expressed herself. Could it be that I bent over her and acted upon Budge's suggestion.
"It was exactly a year since we had driven to Laleham with darling Tommy and the other two boys to see Basil's grave; and now we went to see his grave, poor darling." "I cannot write Budge's name without stopping to look at it in stupefaction at his not being alive." Outside the circle of his family, his affection was widely bestowed and faithfully maintained.
I don't know where I'zhe goin' to put my dinner when it comes time to eat it." "Don't fret about that, Tod," said Budge. "Don't you know papa says that the Bible says something that means 'don't worry till you have to." Mrs. Burton raised her eyebrows with horror not unmixed with inquiry, and her husband hastened to give Budge's sentiment its proper Biblical wording.
I want her to be happy here happy, that's most important. You've heard of flowers that bloom only in shelter and sunshine? This youngster isn't unlike " "Well, I never! No, I never!... I never!" Mrs. Budge's gasp, rising in a crescendo, almost betrayed her presence. She gave a pillow a mighty jab.
He said that after Lady Hastings went off in the car the general asked him to take coffee with him in the library and look up a point about local antiquities. He himself was beginning to look for Budge's book in one of the revolving bookstands when the general found it in one of the bookshelves on the wall.
