"It's a gamekeeper's cottage, or something like that, I suppose," she said. "Oh, no; it isn't a bit." "Doesn't it belong to your father, then?" "No. It's somebody else's, you see." "Then you can't have it pulled down?" "Rather not! Of course not!" exclaimed several indignant voices at once. Miss Lake perceived for the first time that it held more than ordinary importance in their mind.
This last inquiry was accompanied by a nod at the gamekeeper's pouch. "An old cock and a pair of chickens, gracious sir!" "That's little for two days' hunting. Is there no deer to come?" "Not this time," answered Niels sighing. "When poachers use deer to ride on, not one strays our way."
His adventures were innumerable and always enjoyable falling off the two fir trees that made a bridge over our deeper burns, and being dried at the next farm-house wandering over the moor all night and turning up at a gamekeeper's at daybreak, covered with peat and ravening with hunger fighting his way through a snowstorm to a marriage, and digging the bridegroom out of a drift dodging a herd of Highland cattle that thought he had come too near their calves, or driving off Drumsheugh's polled Angus bull with contumely when he was threatening Mrs.
"I understand your feelings, Sir Howard, but again I ask you to reserve your verdict until all the facts are before us." As a result, Harley and I presently set out for the gamekeeper's cottage, and as the man had been warned that we should visit him, he was on the porch smoking his pipe. A big, dark, ugly fellow he proved to be, of a very forbidding cast of countenance.
The major, of course, promised that he would see his grandfather, and the archdeacon told his son how nearly the old man had fallen in the passage between the cathedral and the deanery. In this way they had nearly made their way up to the gamekeeper's cottage without a word of reference to any subject that touched upon the matter of which each of them was of course thinking.
Steele, after the both of us were wounded by those black devils in India and retired from active service." The servant's voice had an inquiring accent; his glance rested now in some surprise on the new-comer's garments, a gamekeeper's well-worn coat and cap, and on the dusty, almost shabby-looking shoes. "A wager," said John Steele, noting the old orderly's expression.
And the years rolled away, and I was a child again, and she was comforting me for my broken doll. With the egotism of youth I fear I had not given a thought to Aunt Emmy's new home until I entered it. I knew that she was happy in it, and that it had once been a gamekeeper's cottage, but that was about all.
The dwellers among them learn to love them through all their varying moods. As I dreamed dreams the car driver, the surliest of his class which I have met, was urging a tired horse up a gradual ascent higher and higher among the hills, until we left houses, holdings, roads except the gamekeeper's or bog rangers' track far below us.
Prince Lobkowitz, who remembered his gamekeeper's son, introduced the young man to the Italian Prince Melzi, who induced him to accompany him to Milan. As the pupil of the Italian organist and composer, Sammartini, he made rapid progress in operatic composition.
He was one of our family devils, he was. He was going to marry the gamekeeper's daughter, it was thought, and he and the old boy, who was for high blood, and all that, were at loggerheads about it. It was not proved, only thought likely, which showed what a nice character he was; but he might have done worse.
