Speaking for Comrade Jackson and myself, we should both be delighted to join in the mimic warfare of our National Game, as you suggest, only the fact is, we happen to be the Young Archaeologists. We gave in our names last night. When you are being carried back to the pavilion after your century against Loamshire do you play Loamshire? we shall be grubbing in the hard ground for ruined abbeys.
The young gentleman was Arthur Donnithorne, known in Hayslope, variously, as "the young squire," "the heir," and "the captain." He was only a captain in the Loamshire Militia, but to the Hayslope tenants he was more intensely a captain than all the young gentlemen of the same rank in his Majesty's regulars he outshone them as the planet Jupiter outshines the Milky Way.
Well, Lionel is going to play for the school against Loamshire, and it's the match of the season, but he goes to the headmaster and says he wants Jack to play instead of him. Why don't you do that? "P.P.S. This has been a frightful fag to write." For the life of him Mike could not help giggling as he pictured what Bob's expression must have been when his brother read this document.
Millicent picks up the confession and advances dramatically. Millicent. Do not touch that man! Read this! Jasper Beeste! We've had our suspicions of you for some time. Millicent. Of course! Why, he's engaged to me. Aren't you, Dick? Dick. This time, Millicent, for ever! The scene is laid outside a village inn in that county of curious dialects, Loamshire.
He perceived a change of subject would be welcome, and said, "By the way, Arthur, at your colonel's birthday fete there were some transparencies that made a great effect in honour of Britannia, and Pitt, and the Loamshire Militia, and, above all, the 'generous youth, the hero of the day. Don't you think you should get up something of the same sort to astonish our weak minds?"
Poyser were now at the end of the second field, so they set Totty on the top of one of the large stones forming the true Loamshire stile, and awaited the loiterers Totty observing with complacency, "Dey naughty, naughty boys me dood."
But the obscure by-way hamlet, perhaps of more interest, is quite incognito. However, Babylon Hill is clearly marked on the map if not on the roadside, and we proceed through a pleasant country quite unlike the district we have just traversed and partaking more of the character of Leicester and the "Loamshire" of the novelist than of Somerset.
They had reached one of those narrow passes between two tall stones, which performed the office of a stile in Loamshire. And Dinah paused, and said, in her tender but calm notes, "Seth Bede, I thank you for your love towards me, and if I could think of any man as more than a Christian brother, I think it would be you.
I think it was his pedigree only that had the advantage of being Scotch, and not his "bringing up"; for except that he had a stronger burr in his accent, his speech differed little from that of the Loamshire people about him. But a gardener is Scotch, as a French teacher is Parisian. "Well, Mr.
So the Princess led the young exquisite to the august presence, and then sweetly said, "I present Mr. , who is" not Lord Blank's eldest son or Member for Loamshire, but "nephew to dear Aunt Cambridge's lady." My young friend told me that he had never till that moment realized how completely he lacked a position of his own in the universe of created being. All this is now ancient history. 1903.
