The messenger appeared a rough country lad, of about eighteen or twenty. "You brought this note?" "I did, your honour." "From whom?" "Why, a sort of a strange lady as is lying at the 'Chequers, and not expected to live. She be mortal bad, sir, and do run on awesome." Godolphin pressed his hands convulsively together. "And how long has she been there?"
"For one thing, you wouldn't care to run the risk of having to sew me up again. And for another, you wouldn't dare!" "Not dare! Do you think I am afraid of you?" Olga stood in a streak of sunlight that slanted through the wire blind of the doctor's surgery and fell in chequers upon her white dress. Her pale eyes fairly blazed.
Panting, I reached the dingle at last to behold Diana struggling in the arms of a man, and he that same fine gentleman who had accosted her at "The Chequers."
"It is held in a field belonging to "The Chequers," and even did I succeed in getting it closed which of course would be out of the question they would find some other site for the booths." "Would you be prepared to go to some expense to neutralize the bad effects of this feast, Mr. Brook?" "Certainly; any expense in reason."
Here are a few that I have noticed: "The Three Jolly Butchers," "The Old Mash Tub," "The Old Mermaid," "The Old Malt Shovel," "The Chequers," "The Dog-in- Doublet," "Bishop Boniface," "The Spotted Cow," "The Green Dragon," "The Three Horseshoes," "The Bird-in-Hand," "The Spare Rib," "The Old Cock," "Pop goes the Weasel."
The sky, but for a few fleeced clouds, was clear; a brisk north-westerly breeze blew steady on our starboard quarter, and before it the ketch ran with a fine hiss of water about her bluff bows. My father and Nat were stretched with a board between them on the deck by the foot of the mizzen, deep in a game of chequers: and without disturbing them I stepped amidships where Mr.
The girl raised her eyes, which in the twilight were darker than the 'depth of water stilled at even. "I don't see the necessity for that," she said, in a firm voice. "I I'm afraid I can't consent to be involved in it any further." Over the little summer-house hung the sweet beauties of the serene night. About it stretched the calm lawn in chequers of large faint brightness and gigantic shadows.
She fair scratted the face off a potman that had brought him a gallon from t' 'Chequers. They say the hussy is his sparrin' partner, as well as his sweetheart, and that his poor wife is just breakin' her heart over it. Hullo, young 'un, what do you want?"
"But you won't drive that poor lady out of her senses, will you?" "No, I'll take him to The Chequers, and smuggle him in at night. They know me there, and not a soul but the doctor and the men will be able to tell where he is." Boniface was not quite satisfied, but he agreed to lend me two men, and at dusk I drove round to the back gate of The Chequers, and smuggled Bob through the stables.
His doctor's degree he was Doctor of Laws was gained by fair hard work. Think of that, and then look at my picture of the sodden, filthy scarecrow! Yes; that man began my education, and had I only gone straight on I should not be loafing about The Chequers. You ask how he could have anything to do with my education?
