George was started by the Reverend Edward Burrowes six years before Sir Charles Horner's gift of land for a Mother House led him to suppose that he had made his foundation a permanent factor in the religious life of England. Edward Burrowes was the only son of a band-master in the Royal Artillery who at an impressionable moment in the life of his son was stationed at Malta.
Sally had to admit that she had not had that privilege. Mr. Burrowes with growing excitement felt in his breast-pocket and produced a picture-postcard, which he thrust into her hand. "That's Bugs," he said. "Take a slant at that and then tell me if he don't look the goods."
Burrowes' life before -in his younger days, when he was a famous featherweight, the first of his three wives had been accustomed to sit at the ringside during his contests and urge him in language of the severest technicality to knock opponents' blocks off but somehow he had not supposed from her appearance and manner that Sally was one of the elect.
"Look hyar, Peter, I guess you and me's goin' to do some business together over this schooner, so let's make friends." "I vas agreeable," said the German with alacrity, rising from his seat and accepting the peace-offering. He nodded to Burrowes and tossed it off. By lunch-time Mr. Morcombe-Lycett had been brought ashore and had accepted Mr.
That was the bitter blow to Mr. Burrowes. Had this lapse into the unscientific primitive happened in a regular fight, he might have mourned and poured reproof into Bug's ear when he got him back in his corner at the end of the round; but he would not have experienced this feeling of helpless horror the sort of horror an elder of the church might feel if he saw his favourite bishop yielding in public to the fascination of jazz.
Leicester, leaving Sir William Stanley, with twelve hundred English and Irish horse, in command of Deventer; Sir John Burrowes, with one thousand men, in Doesburg; and Sir Robert Yorke, with one thousand more, in the great sconce before Zutphen; took his departure for the Hague. Zutphen seemed so surrounded as to authorize the governor to expect ere long its capitulation.
Then Bilker, accompanied by Schwartzkoff and Burrowes, were to go on board the schooner and settle the mate and the white steward. "How much sovereign you goin' to give Peter and Missa Burrowes?" asked Banderah. "Five hundred," answered Bilker; "five hundred between them. But I will give you a thousand." "You no 'fraid man-o'-war catch you by and by?" inquired Banderah. "No.
Presently she would require him to explain to her how he had dared to dismiss Ginger from his employment and make that explanation a good one: but in the meantime she remembered that he was her brother and was suffering. "He's the cleverest lightweight," proceeded Mr. Burrowes fervently, "since Joe Gans. I'm telling you and I know! He..."
At noon, as Charlie Blount was walking past Burrowes' house, he was surprised to see that the German was still there. He was about to pass on for although on fairly friendly terms with the two men, he did not care for either of them sufficiently well to enter their houses often, although they did his when the American came to the door and asked him to come in and take a nip.
A mile away, motionless upon the glassy waters of the harbour, lay the schooner, with her boat astern, and every now and then Blount would take a look at her through his glass. "I can't see a soul on deck," he said to Mr. Deighton. "I heard that Peter and Burrowes went off this morning with the captain, all pretty well drunk. Would to God I knew what is best to do!
