Foss observes "The earliest existing record of this allowance, is dated June 4, 1700, when Sir Nathan Wright was made Lord Keeper, which states it to be the same sum as had been allowed to his predecessor." At the same period, the salary of a puisne judge was but £1000 a year a sum that would have been altogether insufficient for his expenses.
"Do you mean there is no oil, no spare oil " Alfred hunted vainly round the car, under the seats, in the tool box. There was no tin of oil. "If I had some oil," said Foss, "and if I let her cool a little, I could manage with a syringe." They consulted together. Alfred nodded, and approached the window. "Mademoiselle," he said, "I am going on to the next village to get a tin of oil.
Foss looked over at the little Italian, the unpretentious musical hack whom one sent for when there was to be dancing, and paid it was all he asked so very little. Her eyebrows went up a point as she smiled. It was true, she remarked it for the first time, that his hands flew over the keys with an air of breezy virtuosity.
Shere Ali leaned his elbows on the balustrade, and gazing across the foss to the Taragarh Hill, hummed to himself a tune. "Have you forgotten everything?" Linforth went on. He found it difficult to say what was in his mind. He seemed to be speaking to a stranger so great a gulf was between them now a gulf as wide, as impassable, as this one at his feet between the balcony and the Taragarh Hill.
He must clinch the deal with as little delay as possible if he would escape from Foss River and the ruinous attacks of Retief. This thought was ever present with him and urged him to press the old man hard. If John Allandale would not be reasonable, he, Lablache, must force an acceptance of his terms from him. The rancher was mollified. His dulled brain suddenly saw a loop-hole of escape.
"Only an hour or two; but there was a sound of mocking laughter, doubtless caused by his incantations, which kept us for some hours forcing doors and the like." "And you could discover no cause?" "None whatever; however, we found he had taken the Foss Way for the coast, and followed, and nearly caught him." "What prevented you?"
Foss after a moment looked about her for men to introduce. And there he was. Mrs. Hawthorne. Miss Madison. Leslie had at the same moment brought up Captain Viviani, who spoke a little English, and liked very much to practise it with the charming American ladies, as he told them. Mrs.
Ten minutes went by and suddenly Foss spoke "Did you have to go far?" And Alfred's hard voice answered "Yes." Then she heard the two men working, tools clattering, murmured voices, and in ten minutes Foss said: "Try the starting handle." She heard the efforts, the labour of Alfred at the handle. "He will kill himself he will break a blood-vessel," she thought as she listened to him.
If Jenny 'ad married a better chap I don't suppose we should see half as much of her as wot we do." "I'm talking of Flora," said his wife, restraining herself by an effort. "One unfortunate marriage in the family is enough; and here, instead o' walking out with young Ben Lippet, who'll be 'is own master when his father dies, she's gadding about with that good-for-nothing Charlie Foss." Mr.
Yes, your horses as well and the governor's buckboard too. I jest had a look round, saw that the team harness had gone with the rest, then I ran as hard as I could pelt to the Foss River Ranch. I found old John up, but he'd been drinking, so, after a bit of talk, I learned from him where you were and came right along. That's all, sergeant, and bad enough it is too.
