He was convinced that he had lost all his money, and could not possibly afford to be a Knight of the Garter. He had run through everything, and yet if Peel went out, he might be sent for why not? He was never sent for. The Whigs ignored him in their consultations, and the leadership of the party passed to Lord John Russell.
'You've been stopping to "over" all the posts in Bristol, you idle young scamp! said Mr. Bob Sawyer. 'No, sir, I haven't, replied the boy. 'You had better not! said Mr. Bob Sawyer, with a threatening aspect. 'Who do you suppose will ever employ a professional man, when they see his boy playing at marbles in the gutter, or flying the garter in the horse-road?
My sister sprang with a gurgle of delight to catch a garter snake, which eluded her; and a last year's brier, tough and humorously inclined, seized upon Mary by the skirts and legs, so that it was a matter of five minutes and piercing screams of merriment to cast her loose again.
She went in at last, remembering that the children must be washed and fed for school, and found Danny's garter for him just in time to save him from the gulf of despair which threatened him. She made up the two tin pails of lunch with which her young brothers would beguile the noontide hour.
"A pink ribbon or something with a little silver do-funny on it it looked like a sleeve-holder or a garter dropped out of th' Ramblin' Kid's pocket and Sabota made a nasty remark about it," Skinny said. Carolyn June caught her breath and her face flushed. "The Greek said something about Carolyn June, I didn't just hear what," Skinny continued, "and then he smashed the ribbon under his foot.

I see well that you are both for use and ornament, my dear young lady." "I will thank you not to speak to me," said the garter. "I think I have not given the least occasion for it." "Yes!
And on King James's abdication, as the two brothers followed the king's fortunes, the Earl of Perth was made governor to the young prince; and Melfort was created a duke, had the Garter, and was a great man in France to his dying day. There is another bath for lepers. The cathedral church is small but well lighted.

"It is pretty, isn't it?" "Awfully pretty!" she rejoined. This dialogue led them to another hollow pause. The Duke's heart beat violently within him. Why had he not asked her to take the star and keep it as a gift?
"He's got five pair o' new mittins, an' my little blue chist full o' stockin's. I knit 'em two-an'-two, an' two-an'-one, an' toed some on 'em off with white, an' some with red, so's to keep 'em in pairs. But Mary said I better not knit any more, for fear the moths'd git into 'em, an' so I stopped an' took up this garter. But 'tis dretful fiddlin' work!"
Thought of the garter she had lost flashed into her mind. Perhaps the cowboy had not found it. She would run out to the corral and see. Passing quickly out the front way Carolyn June hastened again toward the circular corral. Old Heck and Parker were at the garage getting the car ready for the drive to Eagle Butte; Pedro and Chuck were riding across the valley toward the upper pasture.
