I'm so sorry for you, papa, and I mean to do all I can to supply his place. What do you suppose Maxie is doing just now, papa?" "Doubtless he is in his room preparing his lessons for to-morrow. The bugle-call for evening study-hour sounds at half-past seven, and the lads must be busy with their books till half-after nine."
You are become an honorary member of the republic, you are emancipated, compulsions are not for you, nor any bugle-call but 'lights out. You pay the time-worn duty bills if you choose, or decline, if you prefer and without prejudice for they are not legally collectable.
Paul Ford's sermon the next Sunday was a veritable bugle-call to the best that was in every man and woman and child that heard it; and its text was one of Pollyanna's shining eight hundred: "Be glad in the Lord and rejoice, ye righteous, and shout for joy all ye that are upright in heart." At Mrs. Snow's request, Pollyanna went one day to Dr.
The older and more experienced regarded the matter in the light of a riot. They might have to fire on the tribesmen, but Swatis were such cowards that they would never stand up to the troops. Still it was a chance. Suddenly in the stillness of the night a bugle-call sounded on the parade ground of the "crater" camp. Everyone sprang up. It was the "Assembly."
Those were the men he blamed; not Rueff, the sergeant, who he believed had robbed him, nor himself, who, in a passion of wounded pride, had resigned and so had given reason for gossip; but the men who had not in tones like a bugle-call proclaimed his innocence, who, when they had handed him back his sword, had given it grudgingly, not with congratulation.
The military system under which everything was conducted the bugle-call, followed by the music of a very good band, at reveille; the light, animated strains for "sick-call," and soon after for "breakfast;" the longer ceremony of "guard-mounting;" the "Old English Roast-Beef," to announce the dinner-hour; the sweet, plaintive strains of "Lochaber no more," followed most incongruously by "The Little Cock-Sparrow," at retreat; and, finally, the long, rolling "tattoo," late in the evening made pleasant divisions of our time, which, by the aid of books, music, and drawing, in addition to household occupations, seemed to fly more swiftly than ever before.
If he had intelligence and remembered Steele's fame, which surely he had, then he had some appreciation of what he had undertaken. In that momentary lull my scrutiny of Sampson gathered an impression of the man's intense curiosity. Then Bud Snell, with a cough that broke the silence, shuffled a couple of steps toward the door. "Hold on!" called Steele. It was a bugle-call.
Said I to myself, as I coiled my lariat and hung it on my saddle-horn, and sat there drunk with glory, "The victory is perfect no other will venture against me knight-errantry is dead." Now imagine my astonishment and everybody else's, too to hear the peculiar bugle-call which announces that another competitor is about to enter the lists!
"Almost next door we all live within bugle-call. The entrance is in Crooked lane. Anybody will tell you." At the door Ensign Sand was conspicuously waiting. Arnold said "Thanks" again and passed out she seemed to be holding it for him and picked his way over the gutters to the shop of his Chinaman opposite.
Far, far beyond our shore, the spot Now honored by his fall; But forty million brethren Have heard that bugle-call. Comrade! beyond the peaks and seas Your bugle sounds to-day In forty million loyal hearts A thousand miles away! Haori, a sort of upper dress, worn by men as well as women. The linings are often of designs beautiful beyond praise.
