He very civilly pressed me to stay and lunch with him, but when I told him I had already accepted an invitation from Mr. Hutchins, he very kindly bestirred himself to find my jarvey. I hastened back to the lodge, where I found a very pleasant little company.
You have almost the free companionship of a South American journey in the saddle, jumping off to walk, when you like, more freely still. We soon passed from the bogland into a wilderness of granite. Our jarvey, however, maintained that there was "better land among the stones than any bogland could be."
The toilette is not becoming: here the shawl takes the place of the mantilla, and the head-covering, as in Tenerife, is capped by the hideous billycock. But the jarvey, like the bath-man, the barber, and generally the body-servant and the menial classes which wait upon man's person, are not always models of civility.
Let the jarvey see you do it: the rest don't matter. You can pretend to walk with us a little way, then slip back and under the seat again takin' care that this time the jarvey don't see you. That's easy enough, eh?" I assured him I could manage it. "Then leave the rest to me, and bide still. I got to think of Bill, now; and more by token here's the graveyard gate!"
Thomasson pleaded fatigue as his reason for declining to take a hand at any game whatever, and my lord continuing to maunder and flourish and stagger, the host reluctantly suggested bed; and going to the door bawled for Jarvey and his lordship's man. They came, but were found to be incapable of standing when apart. The tutor and Mr.
The horses under the heavy drays pulled their loads as if they were not heavy. The big, red-faced drivers leaned back at ease, with their hard hats pushed back from their foreheads and their eyes puckered at the sunshine. The tram-cars whizzed by like great jewels. The outside cars went spanking down the broad road, and every jolly-faced jarvey winked at her as he jolted by.
My jarvey was rather taciturn at first, but turned out to be something of a politician. He wanted Home Rule, one of his reasons being that then they "wouldn't let the Americans come and ruin them altogether, driving out the grain from the markets." About this he was very clear and positive. "Oh, it doesn't matter now whether the land is good or bad, America has just ruined the farmers entirely."
A man to whom I gave a check on my bankers not three months ago!" "But it war n't cashed." "What does that signify? the intention was the same. A good heart takes the will for the deed. Cox is a monster of ingratitude, and I withdraw my custom." "Sarve him right. Would your honour like a jarvey?" "I would rather spend the money on something else," said John Burley.
I believe I've been asleep!" said Tom, rubbing his eyes, and looking as innocent as a young lamb. "You may bet your life on thet, my boy," replied the rebel, laughing. "Hi! Jarvey!" added he, apparently addressing a companion at no great distance from the spot. Heavy footsteps announced the approach of Jarvey, who soon joined them.
'A shilling for yourself if you're there in twenty minutes! said I to the jarvey. He went a good pace, though of course it was a trifle to the carpet; and in nineteen minutes and a half I was at the door." "What door?" asked the captain. "O, a house I know of," returned Herrick. "Bet it was a public-house!" cried the clerk, only these were not his words.
