'No, you're not to say that, Ethel, I mind your authority, and always will. You are never a bother. 'Ah, that's it, Daisy! If I had only been a bother, you might never have got ahead of yourself. 'Then you really think, like Charles Cheviot, that it was my doing, Ethel? 'What do you think yourself? Great tears gathered in the corners of the blue eyes.
A child presented me with a bunch of cotton-grass, gathered on the moors not far from the Roman-Wall. I asked if she knew what they were that she had brought. "Moss-troopers," she replied. Many of the Cheviot heights bear most suggestive and interesting names, such as Cushat Law, Kelpie Strand, Earl's Seat, Stot Crags, Deer Play, Wether Lair, Bloodybushedge, Monkside, etc., etc.
"And another thing, Ethel, I don't feel as if I had fairly earned it. Forder or Cheviot ought to have had it. They are both more really good scholars than I am, and have always been above me.
One of the examiners was Norman's old school and college friend, Charles Cheviot, now a clergyman and an under-master at one of the great schools recently opened for the middle classes, where he was meeting with great success, and was considered a capital judge of boys' characters.
Here's a soft suit of flannels, a heavy suit of cheviot, a dress suit, a spring coat, and a raincoat. I can rig up a downy couch in no time if " "Ridiculous! Do you imagine that I'm going to sleep on your best clothes? I'm going to sit up." "You'll have to do as I say, madam, or be turned out of the hotel," said he, with an infectious grin. "But I insist upon your lying down.
