"As I com alang I saw yan of Angus Ray haystacks blown flat on to the field doon it went in a bash in ya bash frae top to bottom." "That minds me of Mother Garth and auld Wilson haycocks," said Matthew. "Why, what was that?" said Reuben. "Deary me, what thoo minds it weel eneuf. It was the day Wilson was cocking Angus hay in the low meedow.
"You remember that, Y.D. when our friend here upset the haying operations?" "Sure, I remember, but I'm not holdin' it agin him now. A dead horse is a dead horse, an' I don't go sniffin' it." "Perhaps I ought to say, though," Grant returned, "that I really do not know how the iron pegs got into that meadow." "And I don't know how your haystacks got afire, but I can guess. Remember Drazk?
In five minutes the haystacks existed no more. "Better not leave that good hay for the Swobs," said the corporal, as he whipped up the horses. We passed a dressing-station. It was a sort of laager of ox carts over which flew the red cross. Wounded soldiers were sitting and lying on the grass everywhere, while doctors and nurses were hurrying to and fro with bandages and lint.
During the two or three days that it took him to reach Helpston, he subsisted upon a crust of bread and an occasional draught of water from the nearest stream, while his lodgings were in haystacks on the roadside. His heart beat with tumultuous joy when at last he beheld the loved fields again, and the village where he was born.
Joseph, followed grinning, in the Collector's rear, and bearing two handsome nosegays of flowers, which the monster had actually had the gallantry to purchase in Covent Garden Market that morning they were not as big as the haystacks which ladies carry about with them now-a-days, in cones of filigree paper; but the young women were delighted with the gift, as Joseph presented one to each, with an exceedingly solemn bow.
I took him aside and told him about my interview with Iwán Ignatiitch. "Why any seconds?" he said to me, dryly. "We shall do very well without them." We decided to fight on the morrow behind the haystacks, at six o'clock in the morning. Seeing us talking in such a friendly manner, Iwán Ignatiitch, full of joy, nearly betrayed us.
The lad disappeared with startling promptitude, but he did not return. It was an agony of perplexity and shyness which had moved him, not a willingness to serve. Rebecca gazed about at the etiquette-bound men and women around her and muttered, with an indignant snort and toss of the head: "Set o' decorated haystacks!"
"I swear I will be there ... even if I have to do something terrible to enable me to come!" The village was burning in the dark night, and the flames, fanned by the wind, rose up like sinister torches. The thatched roofs, the ricks of corn, the haystacks, and the barns fell in, and crackled like rockets, while the sky looked as if they were illuminated by an aurora borealis.
And Mr Kay's talents as a marksman were in all probability limited to picking off sitting haystacks. The important point was that he had a candle. A faint yellow glow preceded him down the stairs. Playing hide-and-seek with him in the dark, Fenn might have slipped past in safety; but the candle made that impossible. He found the boot-room door and slipped through just as Mr Kay turned the corner.
We sot ourselves down underneath the haystacks, and made ourselves two good stiff horns of toddy; and cooled off there, all in the shade, as slick as silk. "Well, arter we'd been there quite a piece, bang! we hears, in the very thick of the swamp bang! bang! and then I heerd Harry Archer roar out 'mark! mark!
