Hicks to invite; "and it seems to their Serene Highnesses," he added, "the most flattering return they can make for the hospitality of their friends to give them such an intellectual opportunity." The dinner-table at which their Highnesses' friends were seated on the evening in question represented, numerically, one of the greatest intellectual opportunities yet afforded them.
I really believe the way to my heart is through my ear; however, I shall try to-night, and soon find if she has the feeling which I think she has. Now let us go back; I'm tired of looking at women with garments up to their eyes, and men in dirt up to their foreheads." As they entered the house they heard an altercation between Mr and Miss Hicks.
As incidental, however, to other branches of agriculture, coffee may be advantageously raised. The best trees are those seen in gardens, where, from ten or twelve, more berries are gathered than from hundreds in a plantation. A single tree, in the garden of Colonel Hicks, is said to have produced sixteen pounds at a gathering; and I have seen several very fine trees in similar situations.
Obeid in Darfour surrendered after a five months' siege, and, flushed with success, he carried all before him. In June 1883 colonel Hicks was given by the Egyptian government the military command at Khartoum, with ten thousand men and thirty guns; but he had no knowledge of the country where he had to fight, and fell an easy prey to the mahdi's army, which was ten times as numerous as his own.
But "roughing it" a little is sometimes good for girls as well as boys. In her own western home Ann could have held her own with anybody. She was so much out of her usual element here at Briarwood that she was like a startled hare. She scented danger on all sides. Her roommates could not always defend her, although even Mercy, the unmerciful, tried. Ann Hicks was so big, and blundering.
Strefford suggested. She laughed. "Poor Coral Hicks! What on earth made you think of the Hickses?" "Because I caught a glimpse of them the other day at Capri. They're cruising about: they said they were coming in here." "What a nuisance! I do hope they won't find us out.
Ann Hicks, right from Silver Ranch, was on hand to greet Ruth and the others, she having arrived at Briarwood the day before. She brought greetings from her Uncle Bill, Bashful Ike and his Sally. The crowd quieted down at last. The last guilty shadows stole from room to room, and finally every girl sought her own bed.
His cheery "good morning" brought only a grunt from Hicks, but the sound of the kind voice thrilled Pauline. She struggled under the blanket and almost reached a sitting posture before Hicks crushed her back. The runabout had flashed by, but the farmer had seen something that alarmed even his stolid mind.
Power says: "The last that was seen of poor old Hicks was his taking his revolver in one hand, and his sword in the other; calling on his soldiers to fix bayonets, and his staff to follow him, he spurred at the head of his troops into the dense mass of naked Arabs, and perished with all his men."
He was supporting "Long" by one arm, for the soldier was not yet over his fright. "Kelly," said Steward Hicks, "I find that I made a mistake. The medical authorities do not prescribe the stuff I gave you in a case like yours. So I'll take the capsules back." "You're welcome," grinned Kelly, passing over the pill box.
