These enormous plains, notwithstanding their dreary vastness, have a wild beauty of their own. The grass is what is called sour grass, and has a peculiar blue tinge, but stock do not like it so well as the low-veldt grass, which is sweeter, and fattens them more quickly, though it does not put them in such good fettle.
Across the completed copy he wrote "Thursday. Must." Never had Banneker felt in finer fettle for war than when he awoke that Thursday morning. Contrary to his usual custom, he did not even look at the copy of The Patriot brought to his breakfast table; he wanted to have that editorial fresh to eye and mind when Marrineal called him to account for it.
They had had some hard exercise, and we were panting to begin. As a matter of fact those who could get away ran away. We caught all we could, and punched and pummelled and rolled them in the snow to our hearts' content. I'll fettle thee! I'll fettle thee!" The battle was over, the victory was ours, but the campaign was not ended, and thenceforward the disadvantages would be for us.
How he'd worked his way out to this back part of the run, where a bull of his quality ain't often seen, nobody could say. But he was a lively active beast, and he'd got into fine hard fettle with living on saltbush, dry grass, and scrub for the last few months, so he could travel as well as the others.
Returned to the hovel as the sun was sinking, and in high fettle, he donned red tunic, huge turban and rattling scimitar and strutted with all the negro's delight in fine feathers in front of the mirror which rested against the crumbling plaster walls. And then he suddenly stopped and stared into the glass. The filthy straw in the corner of the room had moved.
He rang the bell, and a fresh-coloured, prettyish girl in a smart cap came to the door. 'Oh, she said, 'it's you, is it! Come to see the young ladies, are you? Paul nodded with his hands in his pockets. 'You're in pretty fettle! said the girl. 'Look at your boots! Look at your hair! Look at the smut on your nose!
He fired the first shot at the foremost man, as he related in after days, 'to reduce the odds. Kirby said to Countess Fanny, just to comfort her, never so much as imagining she would be afraid, 'The worst will be a bloody shirt for Simon to mangle, for they had been arranging to live cheaply in a cottage on the Continent, and Simon Fettle to do the washing. She could not help laughing outright.
"Freedom and whisky gang thegither: tak aff your dram," he quoted to his own mind. "That stuff did me good. Whisky's the boy to fettle you." He was in his element the moment he entered the classroom. It was a bear garden. The most moral individual has his days of perversity when a malign fate compels him to show the worst he has in him.
But even now, although not strictly in training, his outdoor life and clean living had kept him in fine fettle, and he was fit to "run for a man's life." A horse could beat him in a sprint, but there were few mustangs on the ranch that he could not have worn down and beaten in a stretch of twenty miles. It was with no lack of confidence, therefore, that he reached his decision.
So see you follow Gregory, mistress, and without wait or parley come with him to the Peacock Inn, where I lie to-night. "The grays are in fine fettle, and thy black mare grows too fat for want of exercise. Thy mother-in-law commands thy instant return with Gregory, having much business forward with preparing gowns and fal lals against our presentation to her Majesty.
