"Miss Kathleen," he pleaded, "I guess I can't make you understand what I'd like to. But if you'll just come punting up the Cher, on Sunday in Eights Week, there are so many things I'd like to tell you." "Yes, I've always wanted to hear about America, and the difference between a Republican and a Democrat." "And you will come?" Kathleen rose, laughing.
Cortlandt, who was a good shot with a gun at short range, immediately raised his twelve-bore and fired both barrels at the monster; but the double-B shots had no more disabling effect than if they had been number eights.
"Well, Oxford's lively. You'll find lots going on. The Eights begin the day after to-morrow, and I've got my people coming up. I hope you'll let Mrs. Hooper bring you to tea to meet them? Oh, by the way, do you know Meyrick? I think you must have met him." He turned to his companion, a fair-haired giant, evidently his junior. "Lord Meyrick Lady Constance Bledlow. Will you come, Lady Connie?"
Seemed like the whole bunch just fell over after he shot; and like as not each fellow got his share of the Number Eights somewhere in his legs. But how about this job the Chief asked us to engineer, Frank? Are we going to start off on that little spin up the lake; and d'ye guess we could get a pointer about where the two thieves have gone?"
Very inconsiderate of them with my schools coming on but they would do it. Thursday? before the Eights? Won't my mother be chaperon enough?" "Certainly. But it only puts off the evil day." "When I must grovel to Mrs. Hooper? if I am to see anything of you? Splendid! You are trying to discipline me again as you did at Cannes!" In the semidarkness she could see the amusement in his eyes.
"I'm not buying, I'm betting! Who's wiggling now?" "You headstrong, stiff-necked old fool, you've made a bet! I've got the evidence. Your word against mine?" "Your word against mine. The bet is made," said Pete. "What have you got? I called you." "I've got the Dead Man's Hand that's all!" Dewing spread out three aces and a pair of eights, and smiled exasperatingly.
I'll change that F to an E, the C to an O, and the P to an R. A handy man with a wood chisel can do lots of things. He can change those nines to eights, the five to a six, and the seven to a nine. I've seen it done before. Then we'll rig a foretopmast and a spinnaker boom on her, and bend a fisherman's staysail. Nothing like it when you're sailing a little off the wind.
The better portion of society in the United States was of one mind in its estimate of "The Pioneer Woman in the Cause of Woman's Eights," as she was called. In the columns of "The Free Inquirer," a newspaper which she and Robert Dale Owen established and edited in New York City in 1829, she attacked religion in every form, marriage, the family, and the State.
With his hat off the peon loses seven eights of his impressiveness. The women, with only a black sort of thin shawl over their heads, were eminently inconspicuous in the forest of hatted men. Mournfully out of the black drizzling night about the station came the dismal wails of hawkers at their little stands dim-lighted by pale lanterns; "Anda pulque!"
'Thirteen points down and twelve to go. It's all over. Dowd, here, is playing like a crazy man. "And then the spell, or whatever it was, broke. I flubbed my drive, smothered my brassie shot, and heeled my third into the woods. I finished the round in my usual style, mostly sevens and eights.
