Mrs. Grizzle, who every morning interrogated her brother with regard to the subject of his night's conversation with his friends, soon received the unwelcome news of the commodore's aversion to matrimony; and justly imputing the greatest part of his disgust to the satirical insinuations of Mr.
"If you can come quickly, missy. Top of the Three Finger field he lays." Bare-backed she had galloped Grizzle there, and as she sped could not for the life of her think of aught else than the dent in the man's hat; rode up Three Finger Lane wondering how it came there; approached the little group wondering why he did not push it out. Just as she galloped up they took off their hats.
She could see the top of his head with a bald place showing through the thick, low-lying grizzle of hair. "Nup," he said, "I guess not." He heaved himself up and walked across the room to the window. "It's as hot as hell in here," he growled as he fumbled at the sash. "Hot!" she exclaimed. "Why, it's cold. What's the matter with you?" "It's these barred-up city places; they knock me out.
We go about saying, "My God, I'm a superman!" and try to look like Bernard Shaw. Roger only succeeds in looking like Little Lord Fauntleroy. But all this is away from the point, which is, why grizzle and grouse at the Bally Awful. If your papa will send you to T.C.D., you must just grin and bear it, my lad.
He is found by Lieutenant Reconducted to his own House Married to Mrs. Grizzle, who meets with a small misfortune in the Night, and asserts her Prerogative next Morning, in consequence of which her Husband's Eye is endangered.
"Oh, because because " she returned. "I wouldn't like to fib to you, and I wouldn't like to tell you the truth and it would make me feel hot and uncomfortable " "What would?" I asked. "You see, if I really cared for him, it would be different," she said. "But I don't and that's all." "Lady Grizzle over again?" I ventured.
"Get away, get away," said the old witch; "I know, let me see." And she poked her old head into the oven. Then Grizzle pushed her right into the oven and closed the door and rushed out into the back yard and let Johnnie out of the cubby-hole.
I was a fool to have gone to them for help." "You had better have gone to the old man," taunted the girl, "as I told you at first." "He is made of the same miserly grizzle as she," he retorted hotly. Again the outrush of the tide drowned their words. Julie clenched her red fists and drew a long breath. A sudden frenzy seized her.
I must sneak out of the house with a dressing bag before any of the servants were stirring, and meanwhile I must pack up all my belongings except such things as Mrs. Ess Kay had given me so that I could write and have my boxes sent on by and by. As soon as I had realised that there wasn't a minute to throw away, the worst was over, for I didn't stop to grizzle.
Grizzle repeated her entreaties with great humility; but finding him deaf to all her prayers, and absolutely bent upon leaving the house, she clasped his knees, and begged for the love of God that he would have compassion upon a distressed family, and endure a little more for the sake of the poor infant, who would otherwise be born with a gray beard upon its chin.
