He is looking quite as apprehensive at the thought that I shall expect him to gallopade with me, as I am at the thought that he will expect me to gallopade with him. I do not know how it is that we make our mutual alarm known to each other, only I know that, while all the world is gallopading round us, we gallopade not. Instead, we take hands, and jig distantly round each other.
"The girls," Isabel Penny said, "will be gallopading now. Myrtle has a new dress, her father gave it to her, an apricot mantua." "He's really idiotic about Myrtle," Howat declared irritably. His mother glanced swiftly at him. She made no comment. "Now Caroline! It's Caroline who ought to marry David Forsythe." "Such things must fall out as they will." God, that was true enough, terribly true!
Janet exclaimed indignantly, 'Grandada, I'm offended with you'; and walked out on a high step. 'Come, if he has the women on his side, said Captain Bulsted, mildly. 'He'll be able to go partnering and gallopading as long as his banker 'll let him, William like your gentleman! That's true. We shall soon see. 'I leave my character in your hands, sir, said I, rising.
Then, if anybody's blood ever did freeze, Faith Meredith's certainly froze at that moment. The eyes of Carl and Una followed her entranced gaze and chills began gallopading up and down their spines also. For there, under the big tamarack tree on the tumble-down, grass-grown dyke of the Bailey garden, was something white shapelessly white in the gathering gloom.
How, tone your voice, sweetly attuned though it may be to Venusian accents, when, one moment, it may be inaudible to her whom you address, through the rampagious gallopading and ladies-chaining of excited quadrillers; and, the next, be so raised in pitch, from the sudden hush that falls on band and dancers alike, between the figures, that your opposite vis-a-vis, and the neighbouring side couples, can hear every syllable of your frantic declaration much to their amusement and your discomfiture?
As I stand in silent amusement watching him, having, for the moment, no dancing duties of my own, I hear a voice at my elbow, Bobby's, who, having come in later than the rest of us, has not been taking part in the dance. "Nancy! Nancy!" in a tone of hurried excitement, "for the love of Heaven look at father! If you stand on tiptoe you will be able to see him; he has been gallopading!
I don't know what it is to insult an old man that's fair enough, I dare say. And so you want me to let you off being whipped, eh? 'Yes, when I've done nothing. 'And if I let you off you'll come gallopading in here as lively as ever to-morrow, calling out "Shellfish" no, I forgot "Prawn's" your favourite epithet, ain't it? calling out "Prawn" under my very nose. 'No, I shan't, said the boy.
"He went off shutin' an hour ago," explained Phineas Glover. "Reckon he's astern somewhere." Glover, by the way, had been useful. In the beginning of the affray he had brought his mule alongside of the headmost wagon, and there he had done really valuable service by blazing away alarmingly, though quite innocuously, at the gallopading enemy.
Janet exclaimed indignantly, 'Grandada, I'm offended with you'; and walked out on a high step. 'Come, if he has the women on his side, said Captain Bulsted, mildly. 'He'll be able to go partnering and gallopading as long as his banker 'll let him, William like your gentleman! That's true. We shall soon see. 'I leave my character in your hands, sir, said I, rising.
And hereupon the tail of the beast, some fifty strong, music men, John Canoe and all, began to rampauge about, as if they had been possessed by a devil whose name was Legion: "But Massa Buccra have white love, soft and silken like one dove. To brown girl him barely shivel, to black girl oh, Lord, de Devil!" Then a tremendous gallopading, in the which Tailtackle was nearly capsized over the wharf.
