Simmonds was to collect material for a double-barreled character study that would assuredly make the hit of the evening. "That man," went on Lord Emsworth, "is digging his grave with his teeth. Digging his grave with his teeth, Adams! Do you take large mouthfuls, Adams?" "No, your lordship." "Quite right. Very sensible of you, Adams very sensible of you. Very sen What was I saying, Adams?"
Annabel, the heroine, was having a perfectly rotten time kidnapped, and imprisoned every few minutes. Gridley Quayle, hot on the scent, was covering somebody or other with his revolver almost continuously. Freddie Threepwood had no time for chatting with his father. Not so Rupert Baxter. Chatting with Lord Emsworth was one of the things for which he received his salary.
J. Hellins* of Exeter reared, during 1868, imagos of 73 species, which consisted of 153 137 Mr. Albert Jones of Eltham reared, during 1868, imagos of 9 species, which consisted of 159 126 During 1869 he reared imagos from 4 species consisting of 114 112 Mr. Buckler of Emsworth, Hants, during 1869, reared imagos from 74 species, consisting of 180 169 Dr.
Other people worried about all sorts of things strikes, wars, suffragettes, the diminishing birth rate, the growing materialism of the age, a score of similar subjects. Worrying, indeed, seemed to be the twentieth-century specialty. Lord Emsworth never worried.
Peters, his daughter Aline and George Emerson, there was nobody in the house who did not belong to the clan; and, as for his exerting himself to entertain, the company was lucky if it caught a glimpse of its host at meals. Lord Emsworth belonged to the people-who-like-to-be-left-alone- to-amuse-themselves-when-they-come-to-a-place school of hosts.
'E don't come no s'prises 'ere while I'm master of the Saucy Sally!" After this slight breeze, things quickly settled down again on the old lines between master and mate, and the voyage to Chichester Harbor was entirely uneventful, the barge bringing up at a snug anchorage near Emsworth. The next day Mr. Topper had undressed and gone overboard for a swim.
Twemlow should have a daughter whose name was Lady Mildred; but reason, coming to his rescue, suggested that by our she meant the offspring of the Earl of Emsworth and his late countess. Miss Willoughby was a light-hearted damsel, with a smiling face and chestnut hair, done low over her forehead.
"Lord Emsworth, may I explain once again?" The earl looked annoyed. "My dear Baxter, I have told you that there is nothing to explain. You are getting a little tedious. What a deep, rich red this is, and how clean new paint smells! Do you know, Baxter, I have been longing to mess about with paint ever since I was a boy!
What he intended to convey to the reader was that Miss Aline Peters, of America, was going to marry the Honorable Frederick Threepwood, son of the Earl of Emsworth; and that was exactly the impression the average reader got. George Emerson, however, was not an average reader. The subeditor's work did not impress him. "You mustn't believe everything you see in the papers," he said.
There are two other isolated bits of Sussex on the south of the high road to Emsworth, the first containing the small hamlet of Chidham with a beautiful little Early English church; the next is occupied by West Thorney. Here is another church of the same period with a Transitional tower and a Norman font. This peninsula was until quite recently an island and the home of innumerable sea fowl.
