Neither he nor Clowes saw anything unusual in these demands on his time and energy: it was understood that the duties of the agency comprised doing anything Bernard wanted done at any hour of day or night. "I'll send her up. Stop a bit." Clowes knit his brows and looked down, evidently deep in thought. "Yes, that's the ticket. You take Isabel home and send Lawrence and Laura on alone.
Val was over at Red Springs and Mr. Stafford was preparing his sermon." "Have you written any letters?" "I wrote to father and sent him fifty pounds. It was out of my own allowance. He seems even harder up than usual. I'm afraid the latest system is not profitable." "I should not think it would be, for Mr. Selincourt," replied Bernard Clowes politely.
"That's what we ought to be doing," said Clowes to Trevor. "I think we had better be off now, sir. We promised Mr Donaldson to be in some time tonight." "It's later than I thought," said Mr Seymour. "Good night, Clowes. How many tries was it that you scored this afternoon? Five? I wish you were still here, to score them for instead of against us. Good night, Trevor.
Though you importune me for a day, I could but make the same reply." "Sir Frederick passes his word that he will not tease you on that subject to-night; but speak I must concerning this match with Lord Clowes." "'T is in vain, sir," replied Janice; "for every moment convinces me the more that I must wed him, and so you will but make my duty the harder."
I didn't know there was any fishing to be had or I'd have brought my own." "You can have mine: I scarcely ever touch a line now. Certainly not in hay-harvest! I'll send it down for you the first thing " Was it possible that he was as insouciant as he professed to be? "Oh, thanks very much," Hyde cut in swiftly, but I couldn't borrow yours. I'll find out if Clowes can't lend me one."
"I don't see why you should lose either," snapped Trevor. "Why the blazes can't you be more careful." O'Hara was too penitent for words. Clowes took it on himself to point out the bright side. "There's nothing to get sick about, really," he said. "If the thing doesn't turn up, though it probably will, you'll simply have to tell the Old Man that it's lost. He'll have another made.
Clowes stepped back and indicated her cavalier, very big and handsome in white clothes and a Panama hat: "May I introduce Captain Hyde, Miss Stafford," with a delicate formality which thrilled Isabel to her finger-tips. Let him see if he would call her a little girl now! Lawrence recognized Isabel at a glance, but he was not abashed.
Quick as they were, Clowes had already dropped his hold, and at a respectful distance was saying: "The wine and food shall reach ye within the hour, Miss Meredith." Janice silently curtseyed her thanks, and darted past the young officers, alike anxious to escape explanation to them, or further colloquy with her persecutor.
"Rather sensational." "Milton and Allardyce both thought he deserved it. If he'd been playing instead of Rand-Brown, they wouldn't have scored at all probably, and we should have got one more try." "That's all right," said Clowes. "He deserves it right enough, and I'm jolly glad you've given it him. But things will begin to move now, don't you think?
Dixon was a stout youth with spectacles, who was popularly supposed to do twenty-two hours' work a day. It was believed that he put in two hours sleep from eleven to one, and then got up and worked in his study till breakfast. He was working when Clowes and Trevor came in. He dived head foremost into a huge Liddell and Scott as the door opened.
