Clayhanger exhaled impatient scorn and went upstairs. "This your stuff?" the Alderman questioned, pointing with his stick to the kit-bag and strange packages on the hall floor. "Yes," said George, and to the parlourmaid: "You can put it all in the taxi, May. Come along in, uncle." "Don't hurry me, boy. Don't hurry me." "Where are you staying?" "Russell ... Bit awkward, this about Lois!"
But he caught the great black initials, "E.W." on the kit-bag as the porter staggered along, and stopped the aimless man, and the kit-bag was thrown into the apartment. Doors were now banging. Christine saw Edgar take out his purse and fumble at it. But Edgar's companion pushed Edgar into the train and himself gave a tip which caused the porter to salute extravagantly.
I had been thinking the thing out, and had come to the conclusion that I must have a base somewhere and a fresh outfit. Then in well-worn tweeds and with no more luggage than a small trench kit-bag, I descended upon the city of Glasgow. I walked from the station to the address which Blenkiron had given me.
It has often appeared to me that among ordinary working men humility was considered the Christian virtue par excellence. Humility combined with love is so rare, I suppose, and that is why it is marvelled at. This is at present the soldier's favourite chorus at the front "What's the use of worrying? It never was worth while! Pack up your troubles in your old kit-bag And Smile, Smile, Smile!"
Of a sudden it came pelting round the corner of Regent Street, whizzed along until Lennard, the chauffeur, caught sight of the well-known figure, then swung to the kerb close to the corner of York Street and came to an abrupt halt. In another moment Cleek had taken the brown kit-bag from Dollops, stepped with it into the vehicle, and was by Narkom's side.
You being about my size, I wonder if you could sell me a pair of pants, such as you fellows ordinarily wear?" The cowpuncher smiled a pallid, shadowy smile, and went over to his kit-bag. He returned a moment later with a pair of new moleskin trousers and threw them on the bunk. "You ken have them, I guess. Kind o' remembrancer fer talkin' straight to Jake. Say, that did me a power o' good."
In sixty seconds the door had been jerked open; a gladstone, a suit-case, and a kit-bag shot at him; largesse had changed hands; the door had shut again; the train had groaned and started; and Peter was off to France. It was with mixed feelings that he groped for his luggage.
He was always ready for a move, and his sojourn in cities was but breathing-space while he gathered pennies for further wanderings. An enormous kit-bag sack-shaped, very worn and dirty emerged speedily from the bottom of a cupboard in the wall. It was of limitless capacity. The key and padlock rattled in its depths.
Pack up again and we'll be off to the land as God made it, and where God's things still live; and we'll have a fortnight of it a whole blessed fortnight, my boy, with the river and the fields and the flowers and the dreams that hide in trees." Dollops made no reply. He simply bolted for the kit-bag and began to pack at once.
At a narrow opening Buck turned and left the main street. Fifty yards along the side street he stopped the rickshaw and paid off the coolie, each taking his own kit-bag. Next Buck plunged into a dusky, ill-lighted alley, and Jack followed, wondering. "I'm making for a friend's house," murmured Buck, "an' I'm takin' a shy road. We've got to keep our eyes skinned from now on."
