But when a bath tub contained certain ingredients from boxes on the dog-closet shelf, ingredients that fluff the coat and burnish it and make all its hairs stand out like a Circassian Beauty's, that meant but one thing. It meant a dog-show was at hand. And Lad loathed dog-shows, as he loathed tramps and castor oil and motorcycles.
She was always patient and gentle and sweet with him; but she would have been more than human if she had not cast some wistful glances into the garden, where Philip was waiting for her. He and she also had something to talk about that morning, and why did Fluff go out, and play those bewitching airs softly to herself on the guitar?
Fluff has it from the brother who is playing that the Eton bowling is weak. But Strathpeffer, the eldest son, tells me the batsmen are stronger than last year. He seemed anxious to bet; so we have a fiver about it. They're taking the field." The Eton Eleven walked towards the wicket, loudly cheered. Caesar came up in his pads, carrying his bat and gloves.
Forgetting the supper, she began to dig in her dunnage bag. Getting out a lace collar, she flew to the mirror to put it on. Her hair dissatisfied her, and she made it fluff out a little under the rich braid which crowned her brow. Finally, she ruthlessly tore a rose from her new hat and pinned it to her girdle as she had seen Jennie Mackall do.
Bruce went inside, to sit in a little room upstairs, with his chin in his hand, his eyes staring through the window, his thoughts roaming after Carington, the office on Nassau Street, a girl who was a dainty fluff of lace and silk.
"Warde," the Duffer nodded in the direction of Warde, who was talking with Charles Desmond and Colonel Egerton, "has worked like a slave. He made a cricketer out of Fluff and a scholar out of Jonathan. He's so mad keen to see us win, that he's given me the jumps." "You must keep cool," the Caterpillar murmured. "I've just come from the Trent coach.
Then she is young, too. In every way she is more suited to him than I am. Oh, it won't be at all difficult for Philip to transfer his affections to Fluff! Dear little girl, she will make him happy. They will both be happy, and I must hide the pain in my heart somehow.
"The wick isn't straight the thing will smell, I tell you." "I suppose I can put it right. I never touched a lamp before in my life. Where does the wick come?" "Do be careful, Ellen, you will smash that lamp it cost three and sixpence. There, I knew you would; you've done it now." The glass globe lay in fragments on the floor. Fluff gazed at the broken pieces comically.
He's close to her he's almost touching her good gracious, he'll kiss her if I'm not quick! that little wretch Fluff could have reached them in a twinkling, but she won't do anything to oblige me this morning. Hear her now, twanging away at that abominable air, 'Sweethearts' oh oh puff puff I'm quite blown! This walk will kill me! Frances I say, Frances, Frances."
"You are a good little girl," said the squire. "Place the arm-chair just at that angle, my love. Ah, that's good! I get the full power of the sun here. Somehow it seems to me, Fluff, that the summers are not half as warm as they used to be. Now play 'Bonnie Dundee' it will be a treat to hear you." Fluff fingered her guitar lovingly.
