In most of his tricky work young Carberry had for a boon companion one "Sandy" Hollingshead, a sinewy chap, whose most prominent trait was his faculty for disappearing suddenly in a pinch. He was considerable of a boaster, but could always invent a most remarkable excuse for going before the storm broke.
"It is Percy," said Frank, "and alongside him who'd you expect to see but his shadow, Sandy Hollingshead? And they look some excited too, as though they'd heard about the robbery, and the Carberry family was threatened with bankruptcy if the missing funds were not recovered right away. There, he sees us, and is pulling up. I reckon he's looking for you, Chief."
"He's gone under, fellows! Dove just like a big frog!" "Stop the boat! He'll drown!" Half a dozen were shouting in unison, as the boys crowded to the side over which the bully had pitched when Frank avoided his forward rush. But Frank heard only that startled exclamation from Sandy Hollingshead: "Puss can't swim a single stroke, either!" With Frank Bird to think was to act.
And I signed a contract with this man, who inspired me with confidence at first sight a confidence which he never betrayed. The committee and M. Perrin had made an agreement with John Hollingshead, director of the Gaiety Theatre in London. Nobody had been consulted, and I thought that was a little too free and easy. So when they told me about this agreement, I said nothing.
Its gold embroidery is tarnished by time, and the little spot of blood has slightly eaten away the stuff. As to the poor artist, I learnt of his death during my stay in London in the month of May, for before leaving for America I signed with Hollingshead and Mayer, the impresarii of the Comedie, a contract which bound me to them from May 24 to June 24 .
"I feel much better," I said to him very quickly. "I'm very weak still, but I will play. Hush! don't say a word here. Tell Hollingshead, and wait for me in the smoking-room, but don't let any one else know." I then got up and dressed very quickly. My maid helped me, and as she had guessed what my plan was, she was highly amused.
"I read it that way," replied his cousin tersely, as he rubbed his chin in a reflective fashion; for they were now grappling with a dangerous problem, and Frank was only too well aware of the fact that a slip might upset all calculations, as well as possibly endanger their lives; since they were dealing with reckless men, and no boyish rivals like Percy Carberry and Sandy Hollingshead.
My success in Froufrou was so marked that it filled the void left by Coquelin, who, after having signed, with the consent of Perrin, with Messrs, Mayer and Hollingshead, declared that he could not keep his engagements. It was a nasty coup de Jarnac by which Perrin hoped to injure my London performances. He had previously sent Got to me to ask officially if I would not come back to the Comedie.
Among his novels are Alwyn , and Hugh Trevor, and he wrote the well-known song, Gaffer Gray. H. was a man of stern and irascible temper, industrious and energetic, and a sympathiser with the French Revolution. HOLINSHED, or HOLLINGSHEAD, RAPHAEL or RALPH d. Belonged to a Cheshire family, and is said by Anthony Wood to have been at one of the Univ., and to have been a priest.
