He felt towards him much as a father feels towards a prodigal son whom there is still a chance of reforming. He overtook Bob on his way to chapel. Directness was always one of Burgess's leading qualities. "Look here, Bob. About your fielding. It's simply awful." Bob was all remorse. "It's those beastly slip catches. I can't time them." "That one yesterday was right into your hands.
On the evening before the Geddington match, just before lock-up, Mike tapped at Burgess's study door. He tapped with his right hand, for his left was in a sling. "Come in!" yelled the captain. "Hullo!" "I'm awfully sorry, Burgess," said Mike. "I've crocked my wrist a bit." "How did you do that? You were all right at the nets?" "Slipped as I was changing," said Mike stolidly. "Is it bad?"
General Warren advanced and extended his line across the Boydton Plank Road to near the White Oak Road, with a view of getting across the latter; but, finding the enemy strong in his front and extending beyond his left, was directed to hold on where he was, and fortify. General Humphreys drove the enemy from his front into his main line on the Hatcher, near Burgess's Mills.
He had not studied women all these years for nothing. Carelessly he went on: "One of Charlie Burgess's shows, translated from some French fellow. It's been running over in Paris, Berlin, Vienna, and all those places for a year or more, and appears to be a tremendous hit. It's a big production, and it's going to cost a lot of money to do it here.

I had Mr. Burgess's and Mr.

"Don't you think she is very much changed?" said Mrs. Stanbury to her eldest daughter.
The geologist, escorted by Harry Burgess, got into the carriage, where Mrs. Burgess already sat; Harry followed him, and the stately equipage drove off. Dr. Quain had married a cousin of Mrs. Burgess's late husband, and he invariably stayed at her house. All this had to be explained to Arthur Twemlow, who made a point of being curious.
This is his natural climate, as well in health as when his constitution is broken down by positive disease, or unhinged by long-continued neglect of the common rules of hygiene. It is Dr Burgess's theory, therefore, that when change is necessary, a modification of the patient's own climate that is to say, change of air in the same climate is more in accordance with the laws of nature, and more likely to effect good, than a violent transition to warmer countries.
Here and there among Mr. Burgess's letters one chances on such passages as this: 'At 7.30 p.m. eight of us went a little distance from the tents into the veldt, and read the fifteenth chapter of St. John's Gospel together, and knelt down on the grass, and had a happy time in prayer. The lads got back to their tents in time for the first post, when the roll is called.
