"Very good, sir," repeated Coates. And as he entered the house he was already stripping off the old shooting jacket which he wore in the garden. For my part I slipped a light top-coat over my somewhat untidy house attire, and taking my hat and a stick, stepped quickly out along the road in the direction of the village street. A brisk walk brought me to the little sentry-box under the trees.
She has nine grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren. Her health is fair, but her eyesight is poor. It is her delight to entertain visitors and is conversant upon matters pertaining to slavery and reconstruction days. Irene Coates, 2015 Windle Street, Jacksonville, Florida Martin D.

Hall made Charles his carriage driver, which kept him from hard labor. Other slaves on the plantation performed such duties as rail splitting, digging up trees by the roots and other hard work. Charles Coates remembers vividly the cruelties practiced on the Hall plantation. His duty was to see that all the slaves reported to work on time. The bell was rung at 5:30 a.m. by one of the slaves.
What, could you not write one letter? and here am I writing not only to all my friends in Bristol, but to all in England. Indeed I should have been vexed, but that the packet brought a letter from Edith, and the pleasure that gave me, allowed no feeling of vexation. What of 'Joan? Mr. Coates tells me it gains upon the public, but authors seldom hear the plain truth.
That Mabel might not see she had been weeping, she walked to the piano, covertly drying her eyes. "What," she asked dully, "does she want with me?" "About tonight," answered Mabel. She exclaimed fiercely, "I told them there'd be trouble!" With Vance upon her heels, Helen Coates came in quickly from the hall. Her face was flushed, her eyes lit with indignation and excitement.
None of Max's love-affairs ever affected her, of course, except as they made for his happiness; all undue interest, therefore, was out of place, especially before Mrs. Coates. "I don't remember. Along the River Road, perhaps he generally drives there when he has a pretty woman with him." Lucy bit her lip. Some other friend, then, had been promised the drag with the red body and yellow wheels!
"Indeed, sir," Coates permitted himself to remark. "Is it something to do with the discovery at the docks this morning, sir?" "It is, Coates," I replied. "It is an utterly damnable business." "Indeed, sir," said Coates again, and went to the telephone. Three minutes later I was talking to Isobel. "I find it utterly impossible to tell you what has happened," she declared, "since I saw you last.
"But if you want to know, Bloomfield's the man." "Just what I was saying," said Ashley. "But Coates says he's not far enough up in the school." "All bosh," said Tipper. "What difference does it make if a fellow's first or twentieth in the school, as long as he's cock of everything outside! I don't see how the doctor can hesitate a moment between the two."
Coates was a very good man. He never made a penny out of his performances; he even lost many hundred pounds. Moreover, as his speeches before the curtain and his letters to the papers show, he took himself quite seriously. Only the insane take themselves quite seriously. It was the unkindness of his love that maddened him.
As soon as silence was restored, Mr Porter wished to ask the captain of the eleven whether the team to play against Rockshire was yet settled. Mr Bloomfield. Not quite. Nine names are fixed Game, Tipper, Ashley, Wibberly, and myself from Parrett's house, and Fairbairn, Porter, Coates, and Crossfield from the schoolhouse. That's what everybody wants to know!
