At the sight of the "Goer" reduced to a meek five feet, all the wrath died out of it, and with twitching lips and twinkling eyes Mac answered mechanically, "Quite well thank you," and then coughed in embarrassment. That was all: no fierce blocking, no defying. And with the cough, the absurdity of the whole affair, striking us simultaneously, left us grinning like a trio of Cheshire cats.
They walked out together, and for some distance in silence. "Lige," said the elder gentleman, striking his stick on the stones, "if there ever was a straight goer, that's you. You've always dealt squarely with me, and now I'm going to ask you a plain question. Are you North or South?" "I'm North, I reckon," answered the Captain, bluntly. The Colonel bowed his head.
Tom and his father had alighted at the Peacock at about seven in the evening; and having heard with unfeigned joy the paternal order, at the bar, of steaks and oyster-sauce for supper in half an hour, and seen his father seated cozily by the bright fire in the coffee-room with the paper in his hand, Tom had run out to see about him, had wondered at all the vehicles passing and repassing, and had fraternized with the boots and hostler, from whom he ascertained that the Tally-ho was a tip-top goer ten miles an hour including stoppages and so punctual that all the road set their clocks by her.
Do not tell me that the horse is not a noble, intelligent animal with a vast comprehension of human talk and sympathy for human woe. For the Great Goer pulled up so suddenly that I nearly went on without him in the line of the least resistance.
Sjung mer, sjung mer, det haer sa godt En stund fa glaemma verldens hvimmel Och lyss till samklang ur en oeppnad himmel, Om ock foer en minut i droemma blott: Sjung mer, sjung mer, det goer mit hjaerta godt. Your voice, how beautiful, how wonderful!
He could almost hear the flames of mutiny roaring in those dull and darkened hearts. For one moment the boy forgot himself and his cause. He was a play- goer, watching a drama. This man was the hero, valiant, lonely, a miracle of strength. The boy felt for him a passionate sympathy. Could he hold them? Would they break?
Before the invention of the phonograph it was often necessary for the opera goer to pay some attention to the performance at least while certain favorite arias were being sung; this handicap to the enjoyment of opera has now fortunately been overcome and one can devote one's entire attention to other more important things, safe in one's knowledge that one has Galli-Curci at home on the Vic.
Finally she dismounted, and stood beaming on the steps of the hall. The groom held the ponies for final judgment. "The bay is rather the best goer, dear," said she, timidly. "Miss Fountain chooses the bay, Tom." "No, uncle, I was going to ask you if I might have the cream-colored one. He is so pretty." "Ha! ha! ha! here's a little goose. Why, they are to ride, not to wear.
I'll tend to that." "Looks like a bad 'un." "That's it." "But a sure goer, eh?" "Yep." He led the pony to the shed, unsaddled him, and gave him a small feed. The horse first rolled on the dirt floor and then started methodically on his fodder. Having made sure that his mount was not "off his feed," Nash rolled a cigarette and strolled back to the house with the boy. "Where's the folks?" he asked.
I had been in the habit of spending many of my Sundays with him, as he was a non-church goer, companionable, genuine and open-hearted as the day. It was evident that he had found something that he wanted to share with his friends, and while I made light of it at the time, his testimony made a profound impression on me.
