"Come on, Tod," shouted Budge, although Toddie's farther ear was not a yard from Budge's mouth. "Uncle Harry's going to take us riding!" "Going to take us riding!" echoed Toddie, with the air of one in a reverie; both the echo and the reverie I soon learned were characteristics of Toddie.
"Accused you takin' that bell," went on Budge more slowly. "Hu! Wanterbe a detective?" "How did you know it?" asked Jack, a little surprised at Budge's remark. "Easy. Heard 'em talk. Transom open," was his answer. "What do you mean about me turning detective?" "Lookerthis," Budge said, quickly holding out a small object to Jack. "Found it in Grimm's room, 'sIsweptout." "You found it in Mr.
For though these Newcomes have got a pedigree from the College, which is printed in Budge's Landed Aristocracy of Great Britain, and which proves that the Newcome of Cromwell's army, the Newcome who was among the last six who were hanged by Queen Mary for Protestantism, were ancestors of this house; of which a member distinguished himself at Bosworth Field; and the founder, slain by King Harold's side at Hastings, had been surgeon-barber to King Edward the Confessor; yet, between ourselves, I think that Sir Brian Newcome, of Newcome, does not believe a word of the story, any more than the rest of the world does, although a number of his children bear names out of the Saxon Calendar.
I do not know which I felt most grateful or delighted for my own prospects, or my dear Miss Marion's; though certainly hers were more vague and undefined than mine, for the remuneration offered for my services was far beyond my expectation, and from Mr Budge's description of Sorel Park, it seemed to be altogether a place beyond my most sanguine hopes.
Budge's hostility as thick walls and Harkness' vigilance could make them and best of all, a letter from her Jimmie, full of Mr. Tony's plans and their contemplated sailing, lay close to her heart. "What would you like most to do, Beryl?" "Oh, let's ask Williams to take us for a long ride I adore going like the wind," answered Beryl promptly.
I even detected myself in the act of examining the mental draft of my proposed letter to Helen, and of being ashamed of it. But neither Toddie's fancy nor Budge's spirituality caused me to forget the principal object of my ride. I found a locksmith and left the lock to be fitted with a key; then we drove to the Falls.
To carry out her plan, now fully grown, she must send a telegram and see Mrs. Lynch. Two hours later, flushed and excited, she hunted down Mrs. Budge, whom she found mixing savory concoctions in a huge bowl. "M'm, how good things smell," she began, to break down the hostility she saw in Budge's eye, "Is that for the party?" "'S going to be," and Budge stirred more vigorously than ever. "Mrs.
There was something so terrible in the great hall, the broad stair that lost itself in a cavern of darkness above, the brilliant lights, the staring faces. Her eyes swept from Mrs. Budge's stony face down the line and crossed the curious glance of the dark-haired girl in the gingham dress.
Toddie sighed as he drew his stick of candy from his lips; then he shut his eyes and remarked: "Dee Lord, blesh Toddie, an' make him good boy, an' blesh zem ladies zat told me to say it aden;" the particular "it" referred to being well understood by at least three adults of my acquaintances. The course of Budge's interview with Mrs.
The filling of Budge's orders occupied two or three hours and all the vacant space in the carriage; even then the goat and goat-carriage were compelled to follow behind. The program for the afternoon was arranged to the satisfaction of every one.
