I used to attend her at one time when we were in cantonments at Bhurtpore, where her husband was stationed at that time. I pulled a tooth out for her once, and she halloaed louder than any woman I ever heard. I don't mean to say, my dear, that woman holloa any louder than men; on the contrary, they bear pain a good deal better, but she was an exception.
At length, being completely cleaned out, he declined any further transactions, and having got the Countess into the cab, was in the act of climbing in himself, when someone took him by the sword as he was hoisting himself up by the wooden apron, and drew him back to the ground. "Holloa, Stubbs, my boy!" cried he, "I'm werry 'appy to see ye," holding out his hand, and thereupon Mr.
Holloa! thieves! thieves! thieves! stop!" cried a voice behind. Kenelm involuntarily turned his head and beheld the stout man perched upon the gate and gesticulating furiously.
And till they got to the post-office, he seemed in a disagreeable kind of muse, which Fleda did not choose to break in upon. So the mile and a half was driven in sober silence. "Shall I get out and go in, grandpa?" said Fleda, when he drew up before the house. "No, deary," said he, in his usual kind tone; "you sit still. Holloa, there! Good-day, Mr. Sampion have you got anything for me?"
"Every barrel," said the skipper. "We sail tomorrow morning." "I will give you two hundred and fifty louis if you will sail in ten minutes, and as much more if you land us safely in England." "Really?" "Really." "It is a bargain. Holloa! Pierre! Etienne!" Two lads ran up from below. "Run to the wine shops on the quay, fetch the crew. Just whisper in their ears.
The new-comers were hailed at a distance with the usual greeting, "'Holloa! strangers, who are you?" to which they answered, "White men and friends." And friends indeed they were friends in need; for they brought a supply of ammunition, and news from Daniel Boone's home and family on the Yadkin.
The homeward journey was a very pleasant one, and marked by no exciting incidents. Jack Davis was in his place on the box, and, recognising Bert when the passengers got out at the first change of horses, hailed him with a hearty: "Holloa, youngster! Are you on board? Would you like to come up on top with me again?"
The dog now fairly lost patience, turned round, placed his tail between his legs, gave one sad howl, long and loud, and set off at full speed homeward, leaving the gentleman to holloa after him at the top of a gate, and continue the shooting as best he could by himself. If you desire to be properly served by those you employ, you must be up to your business.
Kind, gentle Jessie seemed quite transported out of herself, as she flew to the door and called Johnny, leaving the two mothers looking at each other, and Ellen, somewhat startled, saying "I'm sure, if it is not true, I'm very sorry, Caroline, but it came from " She broke off, for Johnny was scuffling across the hall, calling out "Holloa, Jessie, what's up?" "Johnny, she's done it!" said Jessie.
Nor did her brother or her niece think proper either to stop or to follow her; for the one was so much possessed by concern, and the other by anger, that they were rendered almost motionless. The squire, however, sent after his sister the same holloa which attends the departure of a hare, when she is first started before the hounds.
