At his last chance Ken was desperate. He knew the coach placed batting before any other department of the game. Almost sick with the torture of the conflicting feelings, Ken went up to the plate and swung blindly. To his amaze he cracked a hard fly to left-centre, far between the fielders. Like a startled deer Ken broke into a run.
The line of battle was formed with the Second Corps on the right, the Fifth on the right-centre, the Sixth on the left-centre, with the Ninth nine miles distant, approaching by the Fredericksburg road. There was a severe engagement in the afternoon, brought on by the advance of the Second Corps, which pushed across an affluent of the Po, west of the Court-House.
His manner was that of Galileo under torture declaring "still it moves." "Left-centre." "Oh oh, yes. I forgot." Monsieur Gerardy apostrophized the chandelier with mirthless humour. "Oh, ha, ha! She forgot." In a minute you come on. Remember the cue." Meanwhile Marion had continued: "'See the clambering vines " "Roses." "'The clambering rose vines " "Roses, pure and simple." "'See!
The infantry, meanwhile, came into conflict along the rest of the line. Alexander himself, with the right and the right-centre, charged the Asiatic troops on Darius's left, who, like their brethren at Cunaxa, instantly broke and fled. Parmenio, with the left-centre, was less successful.
On all throws from left or left-centre field to second base he should get in line with the throw, and on all throws from the same fields to the plate he should also assist in backing up, unless there is some special necessity for guarding his own base.
Marion climbs over the rustic breakfast and practicable over the rustic bench and practicable table, ha, ha, to make the entrance." Still holding the play-book, he clapped hands with elaborate sarcasm. "Ah, yes, good business that. That will bring down the house." Meanwhile the Gretry girl turned again from left-centre. "'Ah, the old home again. See " "Stop!" thundered Monsieur Gerardy.
The Macdonalds and Camerons were the principal sufferers, their position on the left and left-centre having brought them in contact with the battalions who had kept their ground. Glengarry's brother was among the killed, with Macdonald of Largo, and no less than five cousins of Macdonald of the Isles.
In fact, though it was called a Tory paper, and rejoiced in the name, it would have been called "left-centre" in any other country. It was, it need not be said, strongly Unionist. I, therefore, had no difficulty whatever in writing for it. Oddly enough, it was said, and I think with truth, that Mr. Gladstone always read the leaders in the Standard and that it was his favourite paper.
As if with the words she had touched a spring, Monsieur Gerardy bounded to his feet. "Grand God! Is that left-centre where you have made the entrance? In fine, I ask you a little is that left-centre? You have come in by the rustic bench and practicable table set for breakfast. A fine sight on the night of the performance that.
"'Ah, the old home " "Left-centre," interrupted the coach, in a tone of long-suffering patience. She paused bewildered, and believing that she had spoken her lines too abruptly, began again: "'See, the clambering " "Left-centre." "'Ah, the old home " Monsieur Gerardy settled himself deliberately in his chair and resting his head upon one hand closed his eyes.
