"That entirely duplicates what McLean said just a day or so ago." On any other lips Elliott's deliberate neatness of phrase might have sounded solemnly funny. "Thoroughly logical, of course, thoroughly possible. And yet, somehow it doesn't fit the case.
De Wet then trekked towards Bethlehem, halting at Kaffir Kop, where, nine days later, he foiled a third Elliott drive by promptly dispersing his burghers, who soon reassembled on a range of hills beyond Bethlehem. Elliott's units then returned to their respective bases to refit.
The concierge departed with a snort in which unwillingness for the errand and affection for M. Clifford were blended. Then with great care the young fellow arrayed himself in all the beauties of his and Elliott's wardrobe. He took his time about it, and occasionally interrupted his toilet to play his banjo or make pleasing diversion for the bull-dogs by gambling about on all fours.
Elliott's great canvas the mutual lights kill all shadows, and out toward the great yellow disk of the moon the invisible sun floods its lilac and pink, kindling the waves, the draperies of the goddess, the wet flanks of the horses, and suffusing the whole painting with its delicate, bright warmth, which is yet kept too cool for gaudiness by the twilight of the moon.
"For heaven's sake, go slow." "I'm going to paddle his pantalettes, if he commands a gatling," stated Elliott. But the mysterious visitor appeared no more that afternoon, and Elliott's resolutions had time to settle. That night the young men turned in rather earlier than usual, as they were very tired. Bob immediately dropped into a black sleep.
I am amazed at the patience of my blessed Master and Teacher, but how I love His school! September.-This, too, has been a delightful month in a certain sense. Amelia's marriage, at which I had to be present, upset me a little, but it was but a little ruffle on a deep sea of peace. I saw Dr. Cabot to-day. He is quite well again, ,and speaks of Dr. Elliott's skill with rapture.
We expect the convoy tomorrow morning, and need anticipate no attack until it comes up, for these fellows fight for plunder, not for glory, though, to do them justice, they have plenty of pluck when they get started. I have devised an excellent plan, and it has Elliott's hearty support. By Jove! if we can only manage it, it will be as pretty a ruse as ever I heard of.
I think, now, I should admire Mrs Elliott's most," said Mr Green, gravely. They both curtseyed to him. "You see, Rosie, Mr Green has decided in my favour," said Fanny, triumphantly. "Yes, but not in favour of your wreath. The others thought the same, but I don't mind about that. It is our wreaths I want to know about. Let us ask Graeme." But Graeme did not come alone.
As soon as Miss Elliott's stipulated two weeks had expired, she would leave Woodburn, and they would take possession immediately. Their father and his young wife were quite as eager as they to begin the new order of things.
"Many light hearts and wings" she had at least the bird's heart, and the poet lent to her voice the wings of his verses. There is nothing in our poetry less modern than she. The vagrant woman of later feeling was rather the sane creature of Ebenezer Elliott's fine lines in "The Excursion" Bone-weary, many-childed, trouble-tried! Wife of my bosom, wedded to my soul!
