They appointed a committee to prepare and arrange the main propositions which were to be examined and digested into a system by the Assembly. The members of this committee were, Dr Hoyle, Dr Gouge, Messrs Herle, Gataker, Tuckney, Reynolds, and Vines, with the Scottish Commissioners Henderson, Baillie, Rutherford, and Gillespie.
And you would hear him, with elevated voice and agitated gestures, laying down the law, quoting Hoyle, appealing to all the powers of memory and common-sense against the very delinquencies by which he was enriched, -a waste of eloquence that always heightened the hilarity of Mr. and Mrs. Hazeldean. While these four were thus engaged, Mrs.
Require fresh horse to return with; must leave mine here. Have to go back at once." "I say," said the corporal, taking the papers "what's your name?" "Gellatly Sergeant Gellatly." "Say, Sergeant Gellatly, this isn't accordin' to Hoyle come in the night and go in the night and not stay long enough to have a swear at the Gover'ment. Why, you're comin' in, aren't you?
But it's the stock question, you know.... Do you care for a cigar?" She opened a mahogany humidor on the desk. "No, thanks." "Right according to Hoyle: the criminal always refuses to smoke in these scenes. But let's forget the book and write our own lines. I'll ask you an original question: Why were you acting just now?" "Acting?"
But he happened to meet with a maiden far beneath him in this noble world, and he set his affections such as they were upon that poor young damsel. "This was Winifred Hoyle, the daughter of Thomas Hoyle, a farmer, in a lonely part of Hampshire, and among the moors of Rambledon. The nobleman lost his way, while fishing, and being thirsty, went to ask for milk. What matter how it came about?
Next to claim her was Hoyle, the superintendent. "Miss Burch," he said, "in the early days we could run up a log cabin in a jiffy. Axes, horses, strong arms, and a few pegs that was all we needed. But this house you've planned is different. It's good you've come to take the responsibility."
Even the sacro-sanctity of whist has not been respected, and the astonished shade of Hoyle has to look on at his favourite game in the form of "drive" and "duplicate." The way in which whist has been taken up in the United States is a good example of the national unwillingness to remain in the ruts of one's ancestors.
"I suppose," said he tentatively, after a pause, "that I'm one hell of a sinner myself, according to Hoyle, ain't I?" "I do not think it would injure you to change your course of life, nor yet your way of mentioning it," I said, feeling my way cautiously. "But we are bidden to remember there is more joy in heaven over one sinner saved than over the ninety-and-nine just men." "Is that so?
Equally futile, too, were Ellen's attempts to wring from her lips any confidential information about the Hoyles' financial tangles, despite the fact that she had been in the house during the tragedy of Samuel Hoyle's failure and had welcomed the Hoyle baby into the world. "Why, the woman's a clam that's what she is!" announced the exasperated patient. "You can get nothin' out of her.
When the half-dozen wolves saw him speeding toward them they stopped their trotting, and, like the bear, looked around, as not understanding what it meant. "Confound them! Why don't they take to the woods?" he muttered. He had removed the mitten from his right hand, which grasped his revolver. "This isn't according to Hoyle."
