The next two nights I didn't come across them, but the night after that I was sitting by myself at the Maison Pierre when somebody tapped me on the shoulder-blade, and I found Rocky standing beside me, with a sort of mixed expression of wistfulness and apoplexy on his face. How the chappie had contrived to wear my evening clothes so many times without disaster was a mystery to me.
"He thought about the village where his boyhood he had spent, And yearned for all the simple joys with which he'd been content." "The right spirit!" said Archie, with approval. "I'm beginning to like this chappie!" "Don't interrupt!" "Oh, right-o! Carried away and all that!"
"That sounds just like Percy," Betty remarked, as the boys deposited the luggage in the car and opened the door for the girls. "For goodness' sake, don't take him for a model, Frank." "I wonder where the dear old chappie is, anyway," remarked Allen as he took his seat between Betty and Mrs. Irving in the tonneau. Grace was to sit with Frank. "I haven't seen him about town lately.
There's nothing anyone can do." "I hang about a good deal and get in her way," said Reggie. "She's always tripping over me. I thought that might help a bit." "It might, of course." "But on the other hand, when we do meet, I can't think of anything to say." "That's bad." "Deuced funny thing. I'm not what you'd call a silent sort of chappie by nature. But, when I'm with her I don't know. It's rum!"
His chum, Marriot, came rushing along "Oh, deah boy, I'm so sorry you are hit cheer up, old chap." He, like the rest of us, didn't know what to say. But old Chappie didn't "go west" after all. He was ill for a long time, but was finally invalided home to Canada. While we were worrying over old Chappie a call came for volunteers to dig out some men that had been buried.
He gave a kind of yelp, stared at me for a moment, and then began to talk of New York in a way that reminded me of Jimmy Mundy, the reformer chappie. Jimmy had just come to New York on a hit-the-trail campaign, and I had popped in at the Garden a couple of days before, for half an hour or so, to hear him.
It needs a chappie with a lot of sense and a persuasive sort of way with him." "Thanks for the compliment, Freddie; but I should imagine that something a little more solid than a persuasive way would be required in a case like this. You said something a while ago about five hundred pounds?" "Here it is, old man in notes. I brought it on purpose. Will you really take the thing on?
Thorpe bent his brows in puzzled lines. "Why, you introduced me to him yourself, didn't you?" he asked, slowly. Plowden seemed unaffectedly surprised at the suggestion, as he turned it over in his mind. "By George! I think you're right," he said. "I'd quite forgotten it. Of course I did. Let me see oh yes, I reconstruct it readily enough now. Poor old chappie he needs all he can get.
'You said that you were going to explain that George Wilson business to me, Gussie, old man. 'Well, it's this way At this juncture dear old Gussie broke off short, rose from his seat, and sprang with indescribable vim at an extraordinarily stout chappie who had suddenly appeared.
He seemed to regard the pawnbroker's brother rather as a sportsman and benefactor of his species than otherwise. The whole thing, I'm inclined to think, would have been off if it hadn't been for Jeeves. There is no doubt that Jeeves is in a class of his own. In the matter of brain and resource I don't think I have ever met a chappie so supremely like mother made.
