"Who lucked afther um loike a brother an' loved um more an' who fought an' swore an' laughed an' dhrank wid um trough all th' plague-ridden counthry from Kashmir to th' say an' who wropped um in his blanket f'r th' lasht toime an' helped burry um wid his eyes open f'r he'd wished ut so on th' long, brown slope av a rock-pocked Punjab hill, ranged round tin deep wid th' dead naygers av Hira Kal?"
"I tell you, Otto, you can't do it," he said. "You can't burry things so. Those people are Americans. You can't execute that old man on a bare suspicion. What if his notes are a code? We have them, at all events; and we have him; and we must wait until the General returns." "That's not my idea at all!" scowled the other man. "This is war.
The chest's the `coffin, and you keep hats in it, likewise odd boxes, and evening cloaks, and other perishable splendours. Every one calls them coffins, so you'll have to get used to it, I'm afraid; and the bureau's a `burry, and the screen's a `farce, and a topply one at that. You'll have to buy another to take its place. They never do supply you with decent screens.
But apparently now, while the secret was simple enough to tell it took John McTavish hardly a score of burry words to tell it all it was less simple to demonstrate. It might take him three or even four days. "Ye've done gr-r-rand f'r-r a beginnerr-r," said John McTavish, wearily, perfunctorily. "I'll tell you," said Sharon.
Darsie shut herself in her room, and set to work at her burry with all the ardour of a beginner, so that the hour and a half passed like a flash, and it seemed as if she had scarcely begun before Hannah's solid bang sounded at the door, and she went out into the corridor to follow Helen Ross to the Gym.
Within a week all the blooming roads had been despoiled, hundreds of miles of yellow sunflowers had been transformed into brown, rattling, burry stalks. We found Russian Peter digging his potatoes. We were glad to go in and get warm by his kitchen stove and to see his squashes and Christmas melons, heaped in the storeroom for winter.
At the moment of a certain difficult manoeuvre, four men had to climb to the crossbars of the fore-mast in order to reef the mainsail. The first who sprang to the ratlines was Hunt. The second was Martin Holt; Burry and one of the recruits followed them. I could not have believed that any man could display such skill and agility as Hunt’s. His hands and feet hardly caught the ratlines.
"Well, we're going to try. You have some worms ready for me a penn'orth." "Tuppence, sir." "A penny. Why, you've just had a penny for nothing." "All right, master. Going?" "Yes, I'm showing him round," said Mercer. "Come along, Burry, we'll go and see old Lomax now."
I supposed she was thinking of the young gentleman who specialised in South American rails, for I noticed a ring on the third finger of her left hand. I went straight from that house to Burry Mills Hydro, keen for the first time in my life on playing golf, which is guaranteed to occupy the mind.
To take a case in point, at Selkirk and Queensferry the bounds are ridden, or walked, by 'Burleymen' or 'Burrymen. After examining the facts we examine the words, and ask, 'Why Burley or Burry men? At Queensferry, by a folk etymology, one of the lads wears a coat stuck over with burrs. But 'Borough-men' seems the probable etymology.
