Andrews's voice was shrill and excited, breaking occasionally like a half-grown boy's voice. "Andy, what on earth's got hold of you?... God, I hate to go away this way," added Henslowe after a pause. "I'll pull through all right, Henny. I'll probably come to see you in Syria, disguised as an Arab sheik." Andrews laughed excitedly.
It was a long and hard chase; feathers flew, the maid lost her breath, Rosy tumbled down, and Miss Henny screamed and scolded till she was forced to sit down and watch in silence. At last poor, hunted Banty ran into the arbor, for its clipped wings would not lift it over the wall. Button rushed after it, and dismal squalls plainly proclaimed that the naughty chicken was caught.
I gave Chad so good a character that every tooth in his head came out on dress parade, and was about to draw from Henny some of her own experiences, this loyal old servant whose life from her girlhood to her old age had been one of the romantic traditions of the roof that sheltered her, when Chad, who had gone out with the roses, returned with the news that the colonel and his guests were breathing the morning air on the front porch, and were much disturbed over my prolonged absence.
Then Miss Rosamond proudly marched home, finding no trace of the watchers, for both had fled while the "cuddling" went on. Roxy was soberly setting the dinner-table, and Miss Henny in the parlor breathing hard behind a newspaper.
Then, turning to Cecilia, "Ma'am," she continued, "I have been in the greatest concern in the world for the little accident that happened when I saw you before; for to be sure I thought, and indeed nobody will persuade me to the contrary, that it was rather an odd thing for such a young lady as you to come so often after Henny, without so much as thinking of any other reason; especially when, to be sure, there's no more comparison between her and my son, than between anything in the world; however, if it is so, it is so, and I mean to say no more about it, and to be sure he's as contented to think so as if he was as mere an insignificant animal as could be."
"Well, Buck wrote two of them beautiful 'Remember me' verses on nice pieces of white paper, in them curlycues the Deacon taught him, before he got one to suit him and he left one on the counter, right by the cheese box. While we was gone, along come 'Lias and Bud and Henny and disgraced Aunt Prissy."
"By ," exclaimed Wilson, as his acquaintance jumped into the wagon, "this is coming to rather close quarters." "If so be," replied Jack, "as there vos henny har tillery in the vay, it might urt the missuses jam pots, seein as 'ow we can't be much hover a mile from them, from this 'ere place."
If she were asleep the whole house would be dark; if she were at some neighbor's and Mammy Henny was sitting up for her, the windows in the bedroom would be dark and the hall lamp still burning he had watched it so often before and knew the signs.
'I dinna need to undress for to gi'e ye a hammerin', if that's what ye're efter. But I'm no gaun to dae it here. We'd baith get into trouble. 'Ye're henny, said Willie. Macgregor was more puzzled than angry. Here was Willie positively asking for a punching in public! 'What's wrang wi' ye, Wullie? he asked in a lowered voice. 'Wait till we get oor next leave. The chaps here'll jist laugh at ye.
Charlie, wouldn't you have liked to see the little baby Jesus?" "Yes, that I would. I would have given him my white rabbit with the pink eyes." "That is what the great painter Titian must have thought, Charlie; for he has painted him playing with a white rabbit, not such a pretty one as yours." "I would have carried him about all day," said Dora, "as little Henny Parsons does her baby-brother."
