And he had taken a house in Arlington Street, where Horry Walpole lived when not at Strawberry, and their entrance was crowded night and day with the footmen and chairmen of the grand monde. Lord Comyn broke in more than once upon the reading, crying, "Hear, hear!" and, "My word, Mr. Manners has not perjured himself thus far. He has not done her justice by half."
'She's only an inch and a quarter taller than me, and she's a mere dumpling compared with Horry. The lower orders were got rid of somehow driven to their quarters, as it were, at the point of the bayonet; and then the grown-ups bade each other good-night; the curate escorting Miss Rylance to her home, and Brian going up to the top floor to a bachelor's room.
The black, sticky stuff was to go on Mr. Waddington's chest. Horry looked on, standing beside her in an attitude of impatience. A pair of boots with skates clipped on hung from his shoulders by their laces. He felt that his irritation was justifiable, for Barbara had refused to go out skating with him. "Why 'don't'?" said Horry. "It's obvious." "Very. But he's ill."
It was through these that he "carried terror to the very gates of Charleston." We shall see indeed, that, under Marion, the militia were never conducted to defeat. *1* Memoirs, vol. 2, p. 174. *2* Moultrie, vol. 2, p. 236. *3* MS. Memoirs of General Horry. *4* James' Memoir, p. 122.
Feeling himself secure, and being sick, he went over the river on the 24th, the day of the catastrophe, to his plantation, leaving the brigade under the command of Col. M'Donald. Major Benson, as will be remembered, held a position, with the incomplete regiment of Horry, at Durant's plantation, about a mile above that of the brigade.
Bob grows every day more and more attached to him, but I cannot dawdle him as Horry Walpole does Tonton, for Me du Deffand's sake, nor does he seem to expect it. He has the accueil of a respectable old suisse in my hall, where I meet him on coming home in a posture couchante. Adieu; till I have letters, remember me kindly to all, but to the dear children in particular.
You should have heard the company laugh when Horry told us that! And Miss Dolly cried out that she was sure it must be Richard, and none other. Is it not so, Miss Manners?" "Really, my Lord, I can't remember," replied Dolly, looking out of the coach window. "Who put those frightful skulls upon Temple Bar?"
Because of the light and shifting airs the Seamew, in spite of her wonderful sailing qualities, had only then raised the northern extremity of the Cape and, turning on her heel, was now running out to sea again on the long leg of a tack into the southeast. Horry hung to the spokes of the wheel while the skipper was helping Orion make up the manifest.
*5* MS. Life of Brig.-Gen. Peter Horry, p. 21. *6* Gen. Above my gun on the rampart, was a large American flag hung on a very high mast, formerly of a ship; the men of war directing their fire thereat, it was, from their shot, so wounded, as to fall, with the colors, over the fort.
"Horry?" "No. Not Horry. He goes too far. Horry's indecent. Fanny, perhaps, sometimes." "Fanny doesn't see one half of him. She doesn't see his Mrs. Levitt side." "Have you seen it, Barbara?" "Of course I have." "You never told me. It isn't fair to go discovering things on your own and not telling me. We must make a compact. To tell each other the very instant we see a thing.
