Fortunately the door itself was hooked on the inside. Nelson hesitated. "Humph!" he grunted. "Could I get through to the kitchen and out that way, do you think, Zach?" "Godfreys, no! Not with them winder curtains strung up higher'n Haman the way they be. No, no! Godfreys!" Martha stepped across the sitting room and flung open another door on the opposite side.
The irrepressible Jim had no idea of remaining ignored. "Did Cap'n Lote write you that he'd be here to the depot?" he demanded. "All right, then he'll be here, don't you fret. I presume likely that everlastin' mare of his has eat herself sick again; eh, Doc? By godfreys domino, the way they pet and stuff that fool horse is a sin and a shame.
When he re-entered the little sitting-room he looked very much frightened. "What is the matter?" demanded Mrs. Armstrong. Jed gulped. "They've come back," he whispered. "Godfreys, I forgot 'em, and they've come back. WHAT'LL I do now?" "But who who has come back?" Mr. Winslow waved both hands. "The Old Scratch and his wife," he declared.
Grenfell's name, and most of those that followed, were extremely familiar to her. "In my opinion she's got the best garden in Newport, and she did most of it herself. Next to her, with the bald head, is Freddy Maitland. Next to him is Miss Godfrey. She's a little eccentric, but she can afford to be the Godfreys for generations have done so much for the city.
This bit of information, even though unusually qualified considering its spirit source, caused a genuine sensation. Almost every one said something. Zach Bloomer whistled shrilly in Mr. Bangs' ear and said, "Godfreys!" Galusha said, "Oh, dear me!" with distressful emphasis. Martha Phipps and Lulie clutched each other and the latter uttered a faint scream.
But Halifax, even at the time whereof we speak, so soon after its first being rescued from the primeval forest, was not without its charms for those who, like the Godfreys, had enjoyed the amenities of polished circles. But the almost destitute circumstances in which they found themselves when these visits were made, precluded them from entering into many of the enjoyments that offered.
Out on the old Hog's Back we never had no visitors to speak of and we used to hanker for 'em. Here, by Godfreys, they don't give us no time to hanker for nothin'. And they ask such foolhead questions! One woman, she says to me yesterday, she says I was showin' her the foghorn, and says she: 'Do you have to turn a crank to make it go? Think of that!
"Ain't I been here for the last twenty minutes waitin' to get a chance at you? Ain't I been chasin' you from Dan to Beersheby all this dummed excuse me afternoon? Oh, my godfreys mighty!" "Why, what's the matter?" "Matter? Matter enough! It's all your fault. You got me into the mess, now you git me out of it."
If only the Godfreys were at the Manor House!" "You forget that Beechcroft is at Henley," he observed with a smile. "Oh no, I have not forgotten, but I was thinking that I might have gone down to spy out the land for myself. Of course it would have vexed Cedric, but I should have done it all the same. Well, there is nothing for it but patience. By the bye, Mr.
It is a confounded shame," lashing himself up to great wrath, "that it should have leaked out in this underhand fashion. May I ask how you got your information?" Malcolm considered for a moment; then he made up his mind that it was best to be perfectly open. "I had it from a man who knows the Jacobis. His name is Hugh Rossiter. He is a friend of the Godfreys." Cedric started.
