Hobbs somewhat at the beginning, and when he saw the Castle, and the flower-gardens, and the hot-houses, and the terraces, and the peacocks, and the dungeon, and the armor, and the great staircase, and the stables, and the liveried servants, he really was quite bewildered. But it was the picture gallery which seemed to be the finishing stroke.
"Well, we've got a start, Hobbs. We'll win out, just as I said we would. Easy as falling off a log." "I'm not so blooming sure of that," said Hobbs. He was recalling a recent flight along this very road. "We're a long way from being out of the woods." "Don't be a kill-joy, Hobbs. Look at the bright side of things." "I'll do that in the morning, when the sun's up," said Hobbs, with a sigh.
I don't have many spare minutes." "Yes, sir. Are you a perfect slave?" "Eh? What?" "Mrs. Hobbs says she is a perfect slave when she has to work hard." "Who's Mrs. Hobbs?" "She's she keeps house that is, she used to keep house for my father over in Ostable. I don't suppose she will any more now he's dead. She'll be glad, I guess. Perhaps she won't have to be a perfect slave now.
"Peace, Hugo, vex him not; his mind is astray, and thy ways fret him. Sit thee down, Jack, and quiet thyself; thou shalt have a morsel to eat, anon." Hobbs and Hugo fell to talking together, in low voices, and the King removed himself as far as he could from their disagreeable company.

"What does he say?" "It was really nothing. He was asking about Hobbs." "Hobbs? Tell him, please, that if he has any friends he would like to have invited we shall be only too proud to " "Oh, thank you! I'll tell him." "You must not let him go away before " "I shall try my best, Mrs. Blithers. It is awfully kind of you to ask us to "
Hobbs was not in a mental condition for many hours to even remotely comprehend what had taken place. He only knew that he had been invited, as an English gentleman, to participate in a council of war. But Mr. Hobbs was not the kind to falter, once he had given his word; however hazy he may have been at the moment, he knew that he had volunteered to do something.
Hobbs read so much about it that he became quite bewildered.
I had learned from Mrs. Throughout the meal both Cousin Egbert and he winked atrociously at me whenever they could catch my eye. There was, again, an English person calling himself Hobbs, a baker, to whom Cousin Egbert presented me, full of delight at the idea that as compatriots we were bound to be congenial.
At any rate, that's what I think I'm going to be. Mother thinks I'd better teach." "Your farm ain't the old Hobbs place, is it?" "No, it's just Randall's Farm. At least that's what mother calls it. I call it Sunnybrook Farm." "I guess it don't make no difference what you call it so long as you know where it is," remarked Mr. Cobb sententiously.
