He is a respectable man on the whole, so I shall not push it to extremes. But he will be gated, of course, and I shall write to his father. I thought you had better see him, and try if you can do anything. It is a great nuisance, and the less said about it the better; but of course we can't stand this kind of thing, and it had better be stopped at once."
"Look here, Raymond, who is that fellow?" asked Valentine, as soon as they had got out of earshot of the stranger, "Twice he's come up to us in the street at Melchester, saying he knows us, and wanting money; and the last time, old Westford saw us talking to him, and we got into a beastly row, and were gated for a fortnight. Who is he?"
"He hasn't been 'gated' yet," answered the Mistress in calm confidence. At the little spring show, at Hampton, a meager eighty dogs were exhibited, of which only nine were collies. This collie division contained no specimens to startle the dog-world. Most of the exhibits were pets. And like nearly all pets, they were "seconds" in other words, the less desirable dogs of thoroughbred litters.
But his mind almost unceasingly was set upon a problem whose solution lay behind him. Keils pew was in front, the Maam pew was at least seven rows behind, in the shadow of the loft, beneath the cushioned and gated preserve of the castle.
Ho! ho! He just nipped through the hedge like a lusty old blackbird. Extra-special, five hundred lines, an' gated for a week all sereno!" "I've read o' somethin' like that in a book," said Beetle. "Gummy, what a chap! Just think of it!" "I'm thinking," said McTurk; and he delivered a wild Irish yell that made the team turn round. "Shut your fat mouth," said Stalky, dancing with impatience.
The Vicarage was not so far from the church as the church was from the village, but it was some way from both. It was reached from Nancepean by a road or rather by a gated cart-track down one of the numerous valleys of the parish, and it was reached from the church by another cart-track along the valley between Pendhu and the towans.
"Who on earth would have thought that they'd have been so punctual? They never are punctual on the Great Eastern. It was an infernal shame. I think I shall go at once to Harnage and tell him all about it." Mr. Harnage was Lord Gerald's tutor. "But you've been in ever so many rows before." "Well, I've been gated, and once when they'd gated me I came right upon Harnage on the bridge at King's."
That I leave to your natural eloquence. But you will be gated, and he will write to your father." Jack whistled. "I say, can't you stop that?" he said. "Father will be fearfully upset." "No, I can't," said Howard, "and I wouldn't if I could. This is the music, and you have got to face it." "Very well," said Jack rather glumly, "I suppose I must pay the score. I'll go and grovel to Gretton.
That meant good packing, and snow fights, snow men, and a baker's dozen of other exciting amusements. To be gated on such an afternoon! "Come, son!" said Mrs. Fletcher, as he turned away with quivering lip, and drew his chair to the table. "Be a man. Mother's right about it, isn't she?"
"Hundred gated" Thebes, the dwelling of Amen-Ra whom Greece adopted as Jupiter-Amon, used to lie on both banks of the Nile; the east for the living, the west for the dead and those who lived by catering for mummyhood. I had arranged to take our people first round Luxor, making them acquainted with the temple which had already introduced its reflection to us.
