Sergeant Crabb, waiting for no orders from the major, no sooner heard that Moreau was gone, than he rushed his stable guard to the saddleroom, and in fifteen minutes had, not only his own squad, but half a dozen "casual" troopers circling the post in search of the trail, and in less than half an hour was hot in chase of two fleeing horsemen, dimly seen ahead through the starlight, across the snowy wastes.
Crabb, will you accompany the boys to the playground and superintend their sports?" Mr. Crabb also had participated in the rich feast, and rose with the same unsatisfied but resigned look which characterized the rest. He led the way to the playground, and the boys trooped after him. "Really, Wilkins," said Hector, in a low tone, "this is getting serious.
How much does he pay Crabb?" "It is very little, but I don't know that I ought to tell." "I say, though, Roscoe, I wouldn't go to walk with him again." "Why not?" "The boys will say that, you are trying to get into his good graces, so he'll let you off easy in your lessons." "I don't want him to let me off easy; I generally intend to be prepared." "I know, but that's what they will say."
"I wish you would, sir." "I need not tell you that I am poor," continued Mr. Crabb; "you can read it in my shabby clothes. I sometimes see the boys looking at my poor suit, as if they wondered why I dressed so badly. Smith has more than once cast insulting looks at my rusty coat.
Crabb, the usher, was taking a solitary walk, and had approached the scene of conflict unobserved by any of the participants. He arrived at an opportune time. Jim had managed to draw Wilkins away, and by a quick movement threw him.
Then he was to go with him and bring back the stolen money. 'Oh, yes, but Grete, my wife, must go too. The lord was willing, and let both of them have a seat in the carriage, and they all drove away together. When they came to the nobleman's castle, the table was spread, and Crabb was told to sit down and eat. 'Yes, but my wife, Grete, too, said he, and he seated himself with her at the table.
Crabb!" he exclaimed. "It is long since we have met. I hope you are well." Dr. Crabb surveyed him with a puzzled look; Andy had grown so much that he could not place him. "I suppose you are one of my old pupils," he said, "but I shall have to ask your name." "Don't you remember Andy Grant?" "Bless my soul! is it possible? Why, you have grown much taller and larger."
Crabb had nerved himself for the worst, and did not cower or show signs of fear, as Socrates expected he would. "James tells me that you attacked him savagely this afternoon when he was having a little sport with two of his schoolfellows." "Is that what he says, Mr. Smith?" "Yes, sir, and I require an explanation." "You shall have it.
You should not ask Ahem! irrelevant questions." In fact, Mr. Crabb had serious doubts as to the fact assumed. He knew that whenever a pupil went to the principal to ask a question in Latin or Greek, he was always referred to Crabb himself, or some other teacher. This, to be sure, proved nothing, but in an unguarded moment, Mr.
One letter, the initial S., had been omitted in the spelling of his own name." There was another tour in Scotland in 1833, which produced Memorials of little poetic value. And in 1837 he made a long tour in Italy with Mr. Crabb Robinson. But the poems which record this tour indicate a mind scarcely any longer susceptible to any vivid stimulus except from accustomed objects and ideas.
