Uncle Sam's midshipmen waited with patience and courtesy, but when their turn came they volleyed forth four times as much as the visiting howlers could supply. "I hope Darry is in great form to-day," murmured the midshipman seated next to Jetson. "He looks to be in as good shape as ever doesn't he?" asked Jetson sullenly. "Oh, I forgot," exclaimed the other. "You don't like Darry any too well."
I cannot tell you how I felt; but I thought I should go out of my wits with joy; I could not contain myself, and I was running to embrace him, when I saw one of those crazy howlers stab one of our soldiers, who fell down beside me.
These woman-suffrage people are splendid howlers and spouters; let her go in for woman-suffrage thick and thin and she'll get quoted on a hundred dozen of platforms. That's the way to do it, you know! Bless you, the publishers' advertisements are no good at all nowadays!" Lionel was not paying very much heed; perhaps that was why he rather indifferently asked Mr.
As for the Indians, it seems with them to be "all fish," &c.; and they devour all kinds indifferently, whether they be "howlers," or "ateles," or "capuchins," or "ouistitis," or "sajous," or "sakis," or whatever sort. In fact, among many Indian tribes, monkey stands in the same place that mutton does in England; and they consider it their staple article of flesh meat. Indeed, in these parts, no other animal is so common as the monkey; and, with the exception of birds and fish, they have little chance of getting any other species of animal food. The best "Southdown" would, perhaps, be as distasteful to them as monkey meat would be to you; so here again we are met by that same eternal proverb, Chacun
In the howlers we have a specially developed voice organ, which is altogether peculiar; in the spider monkeys we find the adaptation to active motion among the topmost branches of the forest trees carried to an extreme point of development; while the singular nocturnal monkeys, the active squirrel monkeys, and the exquisite little marmosets, show how distinct are the forms under which the same general type, may be exhibited, and in how many varied ways existence may be sustained under almost identical conditions.
He did not, it is true, soar like an eagle: and God knows what howlers Goujart committed with the greatest show of authority in his paper!
Such were the cries which presently became familiar in the school, until one day Mr Rastle dropped down on some twenty of the "howlers," and set them each twelve propositions of Euclid to learn by heart, and two hours a-piece in the detention-room, there to meditate over their evil ways. The quiet of the lower school during the next week was something delicious.
The college players looked stunned, while their howlers, over on the visitors' seats, seemed to shrink within their coats. "Seven to six!" "Make it eight!" Dave Darrin had borne the brunt of battle. Now his eyes were flashing with excitement. "I'd like you to try the kick for goal, Darry, but I don't know," called Hepson in his ear. "You may be about used up." "Let me have the kick.
He is careless in matters which are important to students of Debrett, as for instance, he indiscriminately describes Lord Howard as Lord William Howard and Lord Howard. But Froude was sometimes guilty of something worse than these trivial "howlers." Lecky exposed, with calm ruthlessness, some of Froude's exaggerations to call them by no worse name in his Story of the English in Ireland.
Our own "howlers" stand out in all their horrid nakedness; but we do not realise that our rivals have probably made others far worse. In this way Sheen plumbed the depths of depression. The Gotford was a purely Classical examination, with the exception of one paper, a General Knowledge paper; and it was in this that Sheen fancied he had failed so miserably.
