They have been practising horsemanship during the day, and did fairly well, as many of them are expert riders, many more are fair; but a few of them are more at home on a sand-heap than in a saddle. There are not many of the latter kind, however. They will soon knock into shape, for Colonel Hoad hates the sight of a slovenly horseman as badly as a duck hates a dust storm.
"Artists cannot tell a fib," Alma said, "or even act one," and she laughed in Beaton's upturned face. He did not unbend his dreamy gaze. "You're quite right. The suggestions are stupid." Alma turned to Miss Woodburn: "You hear? Even when we speak of our own work." "Ah nevah hoad anything lahke it!" "And the design itself?" Beaton persisted.
"He's been with us ever since. Piper's been tryin to make a Christian of him." "What's his story?" "I don't know, and he can't tell us. He knows nothing not even fear. I call him Blob, because blob's his nature. Piper found the name Hoad on his shirt. I daresay his people sold him to the Gap Gang; and they kept him." "To be cruel to?" shuddered Kit. "Not they," laughed the Parson.
Lieutenant-Colonel William C. Hoad, Professor of Sanitary Engineering, took charge of the sanitation of the big training camps. Many other members of the Faculty, in civilian capacities, gave no less valuable services to the Government.
I had found, he hoped, that his conseils had been of some use to me in my brief married life. "Yes, Marquis," I said, "I have often been grateful to you and grandmamma." "You are of a great richesse now, n'est-ce pas, mon enfant?" "Yes, of a richesse. And so I have given all the Gurrage money back to one of their family you may remember her Amelia Hoad was her name."
"We're gan to try," said one. "I reckon we'll not can hoad her up if beck rises much." "She'll rise three or four feet," said Kit. "Is nobody else coming?" "Neabody we ken aboot. Mr. Osborn sent to Allerby first thing, but miller wadn't let him have a man." Kit thought hard. Bell had given up the mill and his successor had a dispute with Hayes.
There was no mistaking that falcon-face. It was the Gentleman. "Who's there?" peering suspiciously. "Boy Hoad, powder-monkey o the Dreadnought." "Is that the Dreadnought?" sharply. "Dreadnought, forty-four. Oi'm drownin, sir. Take us in." His hand was on the boat's gunwale. "What the deuce you doing here?" "Desartin, sir. They was for floggin me at sun-up." "What for?" "For for fun." "For what?"
Has Kit Askew brought the Swinset sheep?" "He's coming now," said Lucy, picking up the note, and Grace's eyes sparkled. "I knew he would bring them; I told him he must." Lucy went out and Grace asked Railton about his pains. While they talked somebody shouted outside, and the old man, getting up with an effort, hobbled to the door. "Hoad on; dinna close t' pen," a man called.
She suggested that we the young girls should walk in the garden, while she had some conversation with Mrs. Gurrage and Augustus. Miss Hoad and I left the room. Her name is Amelia. She looked like a turkey's egg, just that yellowish white with freckles. "I hope you will be good to Gussie," she said, as we walked demurely along the path.
It is called "spontaneous combustion," and it said in the paper that a man caught it from having got into a compressed state of heat and rage for weeks, and it made him burst up at last into flames like an exploding shell. Well, at all events, I have kept my word, and grandmamma is content with me. Miss Hoad I shall have to call her Amelia now is enchanted with the whole entertainment.
