Perhaps this is it!" said she, peering over his arm, in delicate curiosity. Frere, with something of a scowl on his brow, tore off the outer covering of the mysterious packet, and displayed a second envelope, of grey cloth the "good-conduct" uniform. Beneath this was a piece, some three inches square, of stained and discoloured merino, that had once been blue. "Hullo!" says Frere.
Brandis was having tea at the Colonel's, and Wee Willie Winkie entered strong in the possession of a good-conduct badge won for not chasing the hens round the compound. He regarded Brandis with gravity for at least ten minutes, and then delivered himself of his opinion. "I like you," said he, slowly, getting off his chair and coming over to Brandis. "I like you.
The Good-Conduct Club would help you to think, if you were fair and honest about punishing yourselves when you broke the rules. You'd have to punish in some way that really HURT, or it wouldn't do any good." "Whip each other?" "Not exactly. You'd have to think up different ways of punishment to suit the person.
Say, it was a rotten trick to play on the poor old soul. She's a decent body, if she is as queer as Dick's hat band." Faith and Una looked at each other again. This was a matter for the Good-Conduct Club. They would not talk it over with Mary. "There goes your pa," said Mary as Mr. Meredith passed them, "and never seeing us no more'n if we weren't here. Well, I'm getting so's I don't mind it.
You don't look sixteen, I'm sure, and we should be sorry to lose your voice. 'I'm only just turned sixteen, said Lance, 'only on the 14th of June. Thank you, sir; thank you, my Lord; and his face beamed joy, though his words faltered. 'Moreover, proceeded the Bishop, 'I have the greatest pleasure in giving the good-conduct prize where, so far as I am able to judge, it has been well deserved.
One child might be worthless, and another the reverse; no matter all were to be treated alike. No preference could be shewn, no posthumous reward could be given for general good-conduct or filial respect.
It is true that the sailor now can receive additional pay for good-conduct badges, gunnery-training, &c., and also can look forward to that immense boon a pension nearly, but thanks to Sir J. Hawkins and Drake's establishment of the 'Chatham Chest, not quite unknown in the sixteenth century. Compared with the rate of wages ruling on shore, Elizabeth's seamen were paid highly. Mr.
And Greg, usually both chatty and impulsive, could be as cold and silent as a sphinx where his chum's secrets or interests were concerned. Had he wished, he might have gone home at Christmas, for a day or two, for he was on the good-conduct roll; but Dick felt that Christmas at home would be a heart break just now. As he did not go, Greg did not go either.
Decidedly, there was no one except his father, who could give or take away good-conduct badges at pleasure, half so wise, strong, and valiant as Coppy with the Afghan and Egyptian medals on his breast. Why, then, should Coppy be guilty of the unmanly weakness of kissing vehemently kissing a 'big girl, Miss Allardyce to wit?
His father assured him that not only would the breaking of arrest be condoned, but that the good-conduct badge would be restored as soon as his mother could sew it on his blouse-sleeve. Miss Allardyce had told the Colonel a story that made him proud of his son. "She belonged to you, Coppy," said Wee Willie Winkie, indicating Miss Allardyce with a grimy forefinger.
