I had n't time to hunt up our box; so making for the fence, I forced my way in next to the rail just as the horses, all in a bunch, swung recklessly around the first turn. As the race progressed they began to string out, one horse very clearly taking the lead. "The Maid's in front, Senator Irby second," yelled an enthusiast just beside me. "Where's Sister Mary?
In her own mind she accorded Irby only the same partnership of aims which she contemptuously shared with the grandam, who, like Irby, still harped on assets, on that estate over in Louisiana which every one else, save his uncle, had all but forgotten.
In Canal Street lo! it was true. Across the Neutral Ground they saw a strange sight; General Brodnax bareheaded! bareheaded yet in splendid uniform, riding quietly through the crowd in a brilliantly mounted group that included Irby and Kincaid, while everybody told everybody, with admiring laughter, how the old Virginian, dining at the St.
Kincaid eliminated, and the whole question free of him, this inheritance question so small and mean to all but her and Irby, but to him and her so large, so paramount! Silently, but plainly to the girl, her mouth widely motioned, "Il est mort! grâce" one hand stopped stroking long enough to make merrily the sign of cross "grâce au ciel, il est mort!"
Irby and Mangles found a tree growing in great abundance near the Dead Sea possessing many of the properties of mustard, which they suppose must be the mustard of the parable; but this suggestion seems incompatible with the main scope of the representation, for its turning-point lies in this, that a culinary herb became great like a tree. The Land and the Book, p.
"But before he took the train with you," murmured the mosquito to the butterfly, "when he said the General was going to take Irby upon his staff and give the battery to Kincaid, what did you talk of?" "Talk of? Charlie. He said I ought to make Charlie join the battery." "Ah? For what? To secure Kincaid's protection of your dear little brother's health character morals eh?"
"And still you trifle!" nagged the grandam, "while I starve! And while at any instant may arrive humph that other fool." Even this did not draw the reader's glance. "No." she responded. "He cannot. Irby and Charlie lied to us. He is already here." She was re-reading. The grandmother stared, tossed a hand and moved across the floor.
No? did the treatment she was getting merely as Irby, with much truth, on that twenty-ninth remarked in a group about a headquarters camp-fire near Grand Gulf did it merely seem so bad to poor New Orleans? Oh, but! as the dingy, lean-faced Hilary cried, springing from the ground where he lay and jerking his pipe from his teeth was it not enough for a world's pity that to her it seemed so?
Both her companions saw it, but Irby she filled with an instant inebriation by one look, the kindest she had ever given him. "Both barrels!" said the old lady to herself. As Irby reached the carriage door Flora's touch arrested him. It was as light as a leaf, but it thrilled him like wine whose thrill he well knew. "I've lost one of my gloves," she said. He looked about her feet.
As to the land, it was all very well in its way to grow trees and form harbours, but the sea was undoubtedly the proper element for people to live on; and he seemed to look with supreme contempt on all those who had the misfortune to be occupied on shore. The third mate, Henry Irby, had very little the appearance of a sailor, though he was a very good one.
