Some promissory notes of his had found their way into Hayes's hands, and had given him the means not only of providing Master Billings with a cheap apprenticeship, and a cheap partnership afterwards; but would empower him, in one or two years after the young partner had joined the firm, to eject the old one altogether. So that there was every prospect that, when Mr.
MacLaggan's herd of seven imported Australian cows; and lastly the goat, and about thirty or forty of Bully Hayes's crew, and as many Samoans, who came to look at the dancing and see what they could steal, Leger and his wife and the policeman and the town flogger had charge of the refreshment tables, which for the sake of coolness had been laid out upon the wide, back verandah, and handsomely decorated with pot plants and flags from the man-of-war, and blanc-manges and jellies, and tipsy cake, and cold roast pigeons and chickens were lying around as if they weren't worth two cents.
Hay, after serving as Assistant Secretary of State under Secretary Evarts during a part of Hayes's administration, then also insisted on going out, in order to write with Nicolay the "Life" of Lincoln. Adams had held no office, and when his friends asked the reason, he could not go into long explanations, but preferred to answer simply that no President had ever invited him to fill one.
Ewell with Trimble's South Carolinians and Harry Hayes's Louisianians held the slope of the mountain, and from these heights bellowed Latimer's guns. Over hill and vale the Light Division was seen coming, ten thousand men in grey led by A. P. Hill. "It surely air a sight to see," said Billy. "I never even dreamed it, back thar on Thunder Run." "There the Yankees come!" cried Coffin.
But Mortimer, who had been vainly struggling for the last five minutes to draw Beaumont from the memory of a lord, Dubois from his Wagnerian argument, and Bret and Leslie from their flirtation, now seized on poor Hayes's drunkenness as a net wherein he could capture everybody. Raising his voice so as to ensure silence, he said, addressing himself to Mr.
It was a gallant sight to behold our thieves' ambassador, in a faded sky-blue suit with orange facings, in a pair of huge jack-boots unconscious of blacking, with a mighty basket-hilted sword by his side, and a little shabby beaver cocked over a large tow-periwig, ride out from the inn of the "Three Rooks" on his mission to Hayes's paternal village.
I apologise in dust and ashes, but please if you will be very noble never speak of it again!" She reached the door once more, was about to make a bolt for the staircase, when Lady Hayes's voice called to her to return "Darsie?" "Yes!" "Come here, child!" The thin hand was held out to meet hers, the kind old eyes looked wonderfully soft and tender.
It was Hayes's intention to remain on the island till a passing sperm-whaler called there, and then charter her to take the ship's company and all the rest of the traders and natives to either Providence Island or Samoa. In a month quite a town had been built, and a great sea wall of coral stones built to keep the sea from encroaching on the northern side.
Yesterday we were fishing for pickerel through the ice at Hayes's Pond in a wilderness where fox abound and where bear and deer make rare appearances all within a few miles of Lenox and Stockbridge. The farmer's family is at one end of the long farm-house I am at the other. It is a great place to read one reads here with a sort of lonely passion. You know the landscape it is in Eleanor.
In the 'tween deck there was nothing to show of what the main portion of her cargo had consisted everything had been removed, and only great piles of dunnage remained, and I came to the conclusion that the Agostino Rombo of Leghorn had been bound from some Australian port to China with a general cargo, when her incapable skipper ran her ashore to Bully Hayes's satisfaction and benefit.
