"Why, you just push the key in that little hole, and turn it a few times so. Oh, I forgot I did wind it up before." "Why, you wound it up six times," said Dicksee, with a sneer. "Well, it's my own watch, isn't it, stupid? I can wind it up a hundred times if I like," cried Burr major contemptuously. "I say, how much did it cost?" said Hodson. "How should I know?
I've got him into an ambitious spirit that means everything, if there is enough fuel at the beginning to keep it alight until it is a glowing pile quite capable of burning gaily alone." "Right you are. I like him. You fan the flame, and I'll rake up the fuel. I'll speak to Hodson about him to-morrow. He's always ready to lend a hand to a promising junior."
To even mention the Gulab, unless he fabricated a story, would let escape the night-ride, and, no doubt, in the perversity of things, Resident Hodson would want to know where she was and where he had taken her, and insist on having her produced for an official inquisition. The Resident, a machine, would sacrifice a native woman without a tremor to the official gods.
Devilish few of the chaps he knew babbled much about love and being batty over a girl that is, the girls they married. Then the bearer brought Hodson's salaams to the Captain. And Hodson was a Civil Servant in excelsis. He took to bed with him his Form D and Form C even the "D. O.", the Demi Official business, and worried over it when he should have slept or read himself to sleep.
"I can't explain it it's beyond me," he answered doggedly. The girl turned upon him with ferocity. "Don't lie, Captain Barlow; a British officer does not lie to his superior." "Hush, Beth," the father pleaded. "Don't you know, Captain Barlow," the girl demanded, "that this woman, the Gulab, is one who uses her beauty to betray men, even Sahibs?" "No, I don't know that, Miss Hodson.
Practical success in life depends more upon physical health than is generally imagined. Hodson, of Hodson's Horse, writing home to a friend in England, said, "I believe if I get on well in India, it will be owing, physically speaking, to a sound digestion."
Men arose, great in council and in the field, statesmen and warriors Lawrence, Montgomery, Nicholson, Hodson, and many others. The crisis brought to the front numbers of daring spirits, full of energy and resource, of indomitable resolution and courage, men who from the beginning saw the magnitude of the task set before them, and with calm judgment faced the inevitable.
"Here they are," greeted us in chorus, and we were literally taken into custody by about a dozen boys, who hurried us round to the back, where Burr major, Dicksee, Hodson, Stewart, and three more were waiting like so many conspirators.
The British force was, however, compelled to fall back in some confusion by the tremendous fire from the walls; and a large body of horse was advancing against them, when some infantry, consisting of the 1st Fusiliers and Guides, collected by Majors Jacob, Hodson, and Greville, and a few horsemen, came to their rescue, and again turned the enemy.
In 1683 Christopher Hodson, a London founder, re-cast the fifth and tenor bells for £120. The contract, which describes him as of St. Mary Cray, where he had probably a branch establishment, still exists, and he seems to have done the work near by, perhaps even within the precincts.
