"I think, Mrs. Hargreaves," said Dick, with the demure impudence of a midshipman, "that that ought to go round." "I think you have fairly earned it, you impudent boy," Mrs. Hargreaves said, smiling. Mrs. Righton kissed Dick tearfully, for she was thinking that, had the battery been silenced only one day earlier, her little one would have been saved.
Hargreaves took him in her arms and kissed him as a dear relative would have done; for during the month they had been together the boys had become very dear to her, from their unvarying readiness to aid all who required it, from their self-devotion and their bravery.
Hargreaves, Arkwright, Watt and Eli Whitney had worked a revolution more far-reaching than did Mirabeau, Danton, Robespierre and Marat. Here creeps in an item interesting to our friends who revel in syntax and prosody. Any machine or apparatus for lifting has been called a "jack" since the days of Shakespeare. The jack was the bearer of bundles, a lifter, a puller, a worker.
The first was when McArthur introduced the merino sheep; the second when Hargreaves and others discovered gold; and the latest when cold-storage was introduced to make perishable products available for the European markets.
I hear you are hit; but, thank God! only slightly." "Very slightly, old boy; nothing worth talking about. It has been an awful business, though. And how are you? and how is father?" "Quite well, Ned. Not a scratch either of us." "And the Hargreaves?" "Mrs. Hargreaves and the girls are all right, Ned, and will be in to- morrow; all the rest are gone." "Gone! dear, dear! I am sorry.
"I'm glad there's a confectioner's, anyhow," said Effie Hargreaves, who was burning to spend her pocket-money on chocolates. "And a place for picture postcards," added Nora Proctor; "I can see a whole tray full of them standing outside that door." The arrival of four wagonettes containing so many schoolgirls evidently caused quite an excitement in the usually quiet street.
It should, of course, be high enough to cover not only the Keegark area, but Konkrook, Kankad's, and the lower Hoork and Konk river-valleys." "Yes, I get it." Hargreaves snatched up a phone, punched out a combination, and began talking rapidly into it in a low voice. After awhile, he hung up. "All right, Mr. Pearson Colonel Pearson, I mean. Have your space-buggy sent around to the shipyard.
While he was fussing to get the shower adjusted to the right temperature, he bludgeoned his conscience by telling himself that a wide-awake general is more good than a half-asleep general, that there was nothing he could do but hope that Hargreaves' patrols would keep the bomb away from Konkrook until Pickering's brain-trust came up with one of their own, and that the fact that the commander-in-chief was making sack-time would be much better for morale than the spectacle of him running around in circles.
Hargreaves and her daughters were on an elephant, with their ayah; and as the Warreners had placed in the howdah a basket of refreshments, the long weary march was borne, not only without inconvenience, but with some pleasure at the novelty of the scene and the delight of air and freedom.
