"The doctor! the doctor!" shouts some small boy who catches sight of him, and the ring melts away in a few seconds, the small boys tearing off, Tom collaring his jacket and waistcoat, and slipping through the little gate by the chapel, and round the corner to Harrowell's with his backers, as lively as need be; Williams and his backers making off not quite so fast across the close; Groove, Rattle and the other bigger fellows trying to combine dignity and prudence in a comical manner, and walking off fast enough, they hope, not to be recognized, and not fast enough to look like running away.
The boy addressed, who sat by the long ropes, proceeded to pull up the great windows, and let in a clear, fresh rush of night air, which made the candles flicker and gutter, and the fires roar. The circle broke up, each collaring his own jug, glass, and song-book; Bill pounced on the big table, and began to rattle it away to its place outside the buttery door.
He looked at the speaker and recognised Mr Meagles. Mr Meagles was very red in the face redder than travel could have made him and collaring a short man who was with him, said, 'come out, you rascal, come Out!
"Walk 'ee up to School, and give 'ee over to the Doctor; them's my orders," says Velveteens, knocking the ashes out of his fourth pipe, and standing up and shaking himself. "Very good," said Tom; "but hands off, you know. I'll go with you quietly, so no collaring or that sort of thing." Keeper looked at him a minute. "Werry good," said he at last.
He maintains the peace on the village green at holiday games, and quells all brawls and quarrels by collaring the parties and shaking them heartily, if refractory. No one ever pretends to raise a hand against him, or to contend against his decisions; the young men having grown up in habitual awe of his prowess, and in implicit deference to him as the champion and lord of the green.
"I think Jarvis' chance of collaring the Heavy for his place is a trifle 'rocky." "I hope so." "Crumbs! How Alabama does get home!"
This done, the confusion increased, as we now glided out of the dock. Hats and handkerchiefs were waved; hurrahs were exchanged; and tears were shed; and the last thing I saw, as we shot into the stream, was a policeman collaring a boy, and walking him off to the guard-house. A steam-tug, the Goliath, now took us by the arm, and gallanted us down the river past the fort.
Acton put in an appearance in the concert-room, and gave Brown the accompaniment to "Jim;" and, after hearing him play it through, went and read his novel the rest of his spare time. At 7.30 the juniors of St. Amory's began to stroll in, Biffen's lot collaring the front seats as per custom.
Good woman in her way; but she spends her time in a sort of steady fury, for she came to Moogoojinna with the idea of collaring something worth while. So Spanker says; and he was there at the time. Seems she did n't want Dan, and Dan did n't want her, but somehow they were married before they came to an understanding.
"No; and think of the lark of landing and collaring the island, too. I say, who does the Long Stork belong to?" "Don't know the Long Storks, I guess. They're the only inhabitants I ever heard of." "Well, I'm sorry for them. But, I say, Gayford, it's just as well we have got some grub on board, for there's not much sign of forests and game, and all that sort of thing here." Not much indeed!
