She undertook the early education of her son, and was singularly qualified for the work. At the age of 12 he was sent to a school at Small Heath, kept by a Dr. Currie, where he remained for one year, and from that time he never received any professional instruction.
The poodle was always in the way, to be sure, but even his ugly black head seemed to lose some of its ugliness and ferocity when Lilian laid her pretty hand on it. On the whole, I think that the Currie family were well disposed toward me, the colonel considering me as a harmless specimen of the average eligible young man, which I certainly was, and Mrs.
Sharpe Currie, had honoured him with a warmth of regard which justified the most brilliant EXPECTATIONS, likely to be soon realized, as his eminent relative had contracted a very bad liver complaint in the service of his country, and could not last long!"
Ghyrkins; my friend Mr. Griggs." "The real offender," I added in a conciliatory tone, for I had kept my place on the inside. "Mr. Griggs?" said Mr. Currie Ghyrkins. "Mr. Griggs of Allahabad? Daily Howler? Yes, yes, corresponded; glad to see you in the flesh." I did not think he looked particularly glad.
Currie Ghyrkins, and a board at the entrance of the ride drive there was none informed us that the estate bore the high-sounding title of "Carisbrooke Castle," in accordance with the Simla custom of calling little things by big names. Having reached the lawn near the house, we left our horses in charge of the saice and strolled up the short walk to the verandah.
That pretty courtesy, that spring from the earth were poor Mignon's last. She had risen and bowed with the instinct which all players feel to act out their parts to the end, but as the curtain fell down she dropped again, this time heavily. Mr. Currie, much frightened, lifted and carried her to his wife's tent. The band, who were playing out the audience, stopped with a dismayed suddenness.
John Westonhaugh, who liked Isaacs sincerely, and had probably contemplated the possibility of the latter marrying Katharine, looked sorry at first, and then a half angry expression crossed his face, which softened instantly again. Currie Ghyrkins swore loudly that it was out of the question that it would break up the party that he would not hear of it, and so on.
The officers had no better fortunes than their comrades in the ranks, and we lost several during this stay in Rest Camp. Lieuts. A.B. Currie and R.M. Miller had been sent to hospital while we were still up in the trenches. L. MacLellan. Scarcely one of those who remained was not affected to some extent. Captain Kennedy's duties were taken over by Lieut. Downes of the 1st Lowland Field Ambulance.
Now so easily had Sir Piers de Currie fared at Islay, and so much did he pride himself upon the success of his first negotiation, that he thought surely he would meet with equal favour in the other islands. Returning to Gigha he ordered a division of his forces.
This being done, the husband proceeds to mix up the currie and the rice with his hands, and puts it into his mouth. He never uses a knife and fork, as is customary with us. The currie of which I have spoken is a sauce of a yellow color, owing to the munchel, a yellow root which they put in it.
