"Henery has one he calls 'My Bonny Lies Over the Ocean' an' he sings it in seven different keys and there's forty stanzas to it. And when a cow hears that " One of "Henery's" boots sailed through the air just then, and Steve had to dodge it. Henry was not on the first watch. Walter went out with the first crew. Somebody lent him a slicker, for rain was prophesied.
"Tending thrashing-machine and wimbling haybonds, and saying "Hoosh!" to the cocks and hens when they go upon your seeds and planting Early Flourballs and Thompson's Wonderfuls with a dibble." "Yes I see. Are they satisfactory women?" she inquired softly of Henery Fray. "O mem don't ask me! Yielding women?" as scarlet a pair as ever was!" groaned Henery under his breath. "Sit down. "Who, mem?"
"Matthew Moon mem" said Henery Fray, correct- ingly, from behind her chair, to which point he had edged himself. "Matthew Moon." murmured Bathsheba, turning her bright eyes to the book. "Ten and twopence halfpenny is the sum put down to you, I see?" "Yes, mis'ess." said Matthew, as the rustle of wind among dead leaves. "Here it is and ten shillings.
Other people might get the same crazy ideas in their silly 'eads as Henery. Keepers especially." That was on'y common sense; but, as John Biggs said, it did seem 'ard to think as 'ow Bob Pretty should be allowed to get off scot-free, and with Henery Walker's five pounds too.
She was three elephant-power, they says; and they goes 'Haw, haw! and Henery drops his clutch in, and off he goes after that car." Alfred lit another cigarette as a preliminary to the climax. "So they run for miles, and all the time there's the track ahead of 'em, and Henery keeps lettin' her out, thinkin' that he'll never ketch that car.
"Well, you've done it now, Henery," ses Bill Chambers. "Still, that's your affair." "Ho, is it?" ses Henery Walker. "You 'ad as much to do with it as I 'ad, excepting that you was sitting up 'ere in comfort while I was doing all the work. It's a wonder to me I got off as well as I did."
Most of us thought Henery Walker's fortune was as good as made, but Bob Pretty, a nasty, low poaching chap that has done wot he could to give Claybury a bad name, turned up his nose at it. "I'll believe he's coming 'ome when I see him," he ses. "It's my belief he went to Australey to get out o' your way, Henery." "As it 'appened he went there afore I was born," ses Henery Walker, firing up.
Josiah Walker, as plain as the nose on your face." O' course, we see it all then, and wondered why we hadn't thought of it afore; and we stood quiet listening to the things that Henery Walker said about a man that would go and steal another man's great-uncle from 'im.
"Come at last, is it?" said Henery. "Well, what about Fanny?" said Bathsheba. "Well, ma'am, in round numbers, she's run away with the soldiers," said William. "No; not a steady girl like Fanny!" "I'll tell ye all particulars. When I got to Casterbridge Barracks, they said, 'The Eleventh Dragoon-Guards be gone away, and new troops have come. The Eleventh left last week for Melchester and onwards.
He said the tiger 'ad kept 'im there for over an hour, and then suddenly turned round and bolted off up the road to Wickham. "It was a merciful escape, and everybody said so except Sam Jones, and 'e asked so many questions that at last Henery Walker asked 'im outright if 'e disbelieved 'is word. "'It's all right, Sam, ses Bob Pretty, as 'ad come in just after Henery Walker.
