'Ah! you have always humoured him by taking off that chorister's frill, said Wilmet; 'but there could be no objection to those trousers. They were almost new when Fulbert left them, and Lance has only had them for best one winter. Felix could not help laughing. 'Long had she worn, and now Belinda wears, he quoted. 'My dear Mettle, the effect is better than the detail.
His hair was cut square on his forehead like a village chorister's; he looked reliable, but very ill at ease. Although he was not broad-shouldered, his short school jacket of green cloth with black buttons must have been tight about the arm-holes, and showed at the opening of the cuffs red wrists accustomed to being bare.
Now, there was no one there when we got there but the three young women, the wife, that is, and her two girls very pretty women they are too." "I say, George, I'll go and get the chorister's vote for Moffat; I ought to do it as he's to be my brother-in-law." "But what do you think Moffat said to the women?" "Can't guess he didn't kiss any of them, did he?" "Kiss any of them?
"Lord, make men as towers!" he remembered his father's prayer in the field by Tewkesbury, and at last he understood. "All towers carry a lamp of some kind" why, of course they did. He looked about him. The small chorister's face was glowing "Triune Deus, hominum Salutis auctor optime, Immensum hoc mysterium Ovante lingua canimus!"
It is curious, when you think of it, the men one little woman might marry and be dutifully absorbed in. I could have been a bass chorister's wife or a Baronet's wife, the wife of an Honourable dolt, and the wife of a dishonourable dramatist. J'en passe et des meilleurs. I could have lived in Calcutta or in Clerkenwell, been received in Belgravia or in Boulogne.
A full-faced, fresh-colored man, with a formidable bass voice, like a chorister's, asked him: "Will you not have a shot at those impious dogs, who might bring down the Cholera on the country, as the curate told us?" "I will have a better shot than you," said the little man, with a singular, sinister smile. "And with what, I'd like to see?"
Could the charity bag do better than pay the tailor's widow for adapting this old coat to the new chorister's back, taking it in at the seams, turning it wrong-side out, and getting new sleeves out of the old tails? Could she herself spare the boots which the village cobbler had just re-soled for her somewhat clumsily and would the "allowance" bag bear this strain?
She was reading a warning to artistes that any improper songs or lines would lead to their instant dismissal, and regretting more than ever her incompetence for this innocent profession, when she heard the bass chorister's big breathing behind her. "Bravo! You knocked him all of a heap." "Rubbish! Don't try to cheer me." "You!" Jolly Jack Jenkins opened his eyes. "You taken in by Fossy!
When at school in this town, we were candidates for a chorister's place, and he obtained it." Not less remarkable was the rise to the same distinguished office of Lord Chief Justice, of the rugged Kenyon and the robust Ellenborough; nor was he a less notable man who recently held the same office the astute Lord Campbell, late Lord Chancellor of England, son of a parish minister in Fifeshire.
At Combray, where I knew everyone, and could always detect the blacksmith or grocer's boy through his disguise of a beadle's uniform or chorister's surplice, this fisherman was the only person whom I was never able to identify.
