Started at five p.m. for the William Spring with fourteen horses, leaving the weak and done-up ones at Mount Margaret for another week to recover. I have also brought on with me Auld, King, and Billiatt. The others I have left with Mr. Kekwick, to whom I have given command of the party, and who will conduct them to Adelaide by easy stages, as soon as the horses are able to travel.
Had to leave one of the done-up horses about two miles behind. Another horse gave in, and it was as much as Mr. Kekwick could do to get him thus far. The natives have burned all the grass throughout this day's journey. A little has escaped at this camp, and I am now compelled to give my horses a rest until Monday morning.
"Breakfast first," decreed her father, "or I fear you'll become so excited you'll never eat at all." So Marjorie contented herself with pinching and punching the bundles, while she ate peaches and cream and cereal. "Oh, what is in this squnchy one?" she cried, feeling of a loosely done-up parcel. "It smells so sweet, and it crackles like silk!"
"Grace can't grow up in spite of her long skirts and done-up hair," smiled Miriam. "That is precisely what I was thinking," agreed Anne. "Is she sixteen or twenty-three?" "Aren't you pleased with us, Father, and won't you feel inordinately proud of your theatre party?" called Mabel from the stairway as they descended to the hall, where Mr.
If they could "make fun," and rhyme a fellow's name ridiculously, and ring door-bells now and then, or leave a nicely done-up parcel on some one's stoop, wrapped and tied and directed, containing a box of ashes, or a brick, they were satisfied. They still considered it fun to have Biddy Brady dance, and Limpy Dick, as they called the lame girl, run a race.
You come here; you devote yourself to your aunt and cousins you seem strongly attracted; then, all on a sudden, you rush out shooting an exercise for which you don't care, and when you can't walk: you show the most pointed neglect. And after being done-up yesterday, you repeat the experiment to-day, as if for the mere object of laming yourself for life.
A gleam of sunshine seemed to reign throughout the mansion; the long-covered furniture appearing to have gained freshness by its retirement, just as a newly done-up hat surprises the wearer by its goodness; a few days, however, soon restores the defects of either.
'Where are you off to with the refreshments? "The old man gave a start, and slopped some of the coffee. He stared up at me, and I could see that he looked white and done-up. He came on up the stairs, and held out the little tray to me. 'I'm very thankful indeed, sir, to see you safe and well, he said. 'I feared, one time, you might risk going into the Grey Room, sir.
He does not know in the least where I am he thinks I only went into the garden for a few minutes." "He will surely guess somebody has seen me for certain. I'll go all the way back with you to-morrow." "But that newly done-up place the Earl of Wessex!" "If you are so very particular about the publicity I will stay at the Three Tuns."
Not me! You ask him if he'll let me go, and you'll see. I sent him out this morning pretty tidy to parade, quite early and don't he like you to dress him and when he come back, looking done-up, I was ready for him with a pick-me-up. You see there's a lot of him, and he want nootriment." "`What's this? he says.
