"I was so excited than I really did not see where I was going." "Not see!" shouted the angry farmer. "You young rascal, I'll break every bone in your body," and he flourished a heavy stick as he spoke. Charlie Goodall began to cry. "I have no right to trespass on your wheat, sir," Frank said firmly; "but you have no right to strike us. My name is Frank Hargate. I belong to Dr.
He was in no mood to listen to the likes and dislikes of other men. "Look here, Dreever," said Hargate, "I want you to do something for me. I want you to get Pitt out of the place." Lord Dreever eyed his guest curiously. "Eh?" he said. Hargate repeated his remark. "You seem to have mapped out quite a program for me," said Lord Dreever. "Get him out of it," continued Hargate vehemently.
He would not have suggested it himself, but, after all, dash it, if the man really asked for it It was not his fault if the winning of a hand should have given the fellow the impression that he knew all there was to be known about picquet. Of course, picquet was a game where skill was practically bound to win. But after all, Hargate probably had plenty of money. He could afford it.
Frank had several invitations from the boys to spend his holidays with them; but he knew how lonely his mother would feel in his absence, and he declined all the invitations. Mrs. Hargate was far from strong, and had had several fits of fainting. These, however, had taken place at times when Frank was at school, and she had strictly charged her little servant to say nothing about it.
"You taught Hargate picquet? Why, my dear man, he was playing picquet like a professor when you were in short frocks. He's a wonder at it." His lordship started. "How's that?" he said. "You don't know him, do you?" "I met him in New York, at the Strollers' Club. A pal of mine, an actor, this fellow Mifflin I mentioned just now, put him up as a guest. He coined money at picquet.
His lordship's conscience made one last effort. "You'd much better stop, you know, Hargate, really," he said. "You can lose a frightful lot at this game." "My dear Dreever," said Hargate stiffly, "I can look after myself, thanks. Of course, if you think you are risking too much, by all means " "Oh, if you don't mind," said his lordship, outraged, "I'm only too frightfully pleased.
At length, in the eighties, his lordship struck a brilliant vein. When he had finished his break, his score was ninety-five. Hargate, who had profited by a series of misses on his opponent's part, had reached ninety-six. "This is shortening my life," said Jimmy, leaning forward. The balls had been left in an ideal position. Even Hargate could not fail to make a cannon. He made it.
Now the clergyman who ministered to the spiritual wants of Beacon Hargate was never disposed to gorge his flock with too much doctrine at a time, and on this Sabbath had an invitation to luncheon at a great house some four or five miles away, and so treated his parishioners to the scandal of some and the joy of others to the shortest discourse they had ever heard from the pulpit.
'When we touched at Corfu, said the General, 'I found a letter from my London agents I'd like you to see it, and I shall be glad if you can confirm its contents, or at least a part of them. De Blacquaire took the proffered letter and read: 'Sir, : We are instructed to inform you that a sum of fifty thousand pounds has been deposited with us to your credit by Mr. John Jervase, of Beacon Hargate.
That means, she's come in the runabout, and there's only room for two of us in that. I forgot to telegraph that you were coming, Pitt. I only wired about Hargate. Dash it, I shall have to walk." His fears proved correct. The car at the station door was small. It was obviously designed to seat four only.
