Gosling, who had been bowling unchanged since the innings began, was naturally feeling a little tired. He was losing his length, and bowling more slowly than was his wont. Norris now gave him a rest for a few overs, Bruce going on with rather innocuous medium left-hand bowling. The professional continued to jog along slowly. The novelist hit. Everything seemed to come alike to him.
You are a goose or a gosling, whichever you like best, for I perceive you are in great anxiety lest my poor little imagination should not have been completely set to rights.
During this period, Richard Varney appeared in the country, and, availing himself of some distant family connection with Sir Hugh Robsart, spent much of his time in his company, until, at length, he almost lived in the family." "That could bode no good to the place he honoured with his residence," said Gosling. "No, by the rood!" replied Tressilian.
Speaking of "blacking-makers," reminds me that one of the first sensationists in advertising whom I remember to have seen, was Mr. Leonard Gosling, known as "Monsieur Gosling, the great French blacking-maker." He appeared in New York in 1830. He flashed like a meteor across the horizon; and before he had been in the city three months, nearly everybody had heard of "Gosling's Blacking."
There was one net for the elect, the remnants of last year's Eleven and the 'probables' for this season, and half a dozen more for lesser lights. At the first net Norris was batting to the bowling of Gosling, a long, thin day boy, Gethryn, and the professional as useful a trio as any school batsman could wish for.
Chanticleer was a large consumer of barley, he usually attended the Corn Exchange during certain hours. This the policeman knew; so no sooner had he received the warrant than he walked straight to Mr. Chanticleer as he stood talking loudly to a large circle of friends and neighbours, old Mr. Drake, young Mr. Gosling, Mr. Peacock, Mr. Pidgeon, Mr.
So I will quit Giles Gosling to-morrow, and change my course and place of residence as often as a hunted fox. I should like to see this little Puritan, too, once more. She looks both pretty and intelligent to have come of such a caitiff as Anthony Fire-the-Fagot." Giles Gosling received the adieus of Wayland rather joyfully than otherwise.
Twice in successive balls Gosling knocked his leg stump out of the ground with yorkers, and the ball after that, Gethryn upset his middle with a beauty. 'Hat-trick, Norris, shouted Gosling. 'Can't see 'em a bit today. Bowled, Bishop. A second teaser from Gethryn had almost got through his defence. The Bishop was undoubtedly a fine bowler.
I really don't like to think so badly of any fellow-creature as I am forced to think of that politic, time-serving, pusillanimous goose. I believe she laid the egg that produced the idiot gosling! Here follows the true story of Sir Muscovy Drake, the Lady Blanche, and Miss Malardina Crippletoes.
"True very true," answered Wayland, for he it was; "an excellent device, but methinks something dangerous for, say Foster should return?" "Very possible indeed," replied the host. "Or say," continued Wayland, "the lady should render me cold thanks for my exertions?" "As is not unlikely," replied Giles Gosling. "I marvel Master Tressilian will take such heed of her that cares not for him."
