Now, some more of you get out and try it." Rapidly coach called off the names of those he wanted to try out. Some of these young men did better than the starters, for they had learned from the criticisms, and from the showing of Luce's standard form. Presently the young men were standing about in various parts of the field, for none came in until called. "Ripley," said Mr.
Some of them are of special importance for English history. For the Hundred Years' War the French chroniclers are indispensable, especially for military history. Luce's careful "sommaire et commentaire critique" often affords means of checking Froissart by other sources. The first edition, written about 1373, at the request of Count Robert of Namur, is inspired by an English bias.
Sir James, supposing from the manner in which this was spoken that Nelson had doubted the truth of his report, answered rather sharply, "Who ever doubted it, sir? I hope there is no need for such evidence to establish the truth of the report of a British officer." Lieutenant Luce's description of the state he found the Salvador in was appalling in the extreme.
The mother wrote sadly: "I am sorrie my daughter Luce hath caryed things thus vnwisely and vnreputably both to herselfe and our friends;" and the whole family were evidently sorely afraid that the "perverse Puritan jade" would be left on their hands, when suddenly came the news of her marriage to Norton, owing perhaps to a very decided and sharp letter from Norton's brother to the Governor about Mistress Luce's vagaries, and also to some more satisfactory and liberal marriage settlements.
Coach Luce's voice rang out in a solid, carrying tone of military command. The baseball squad was hard at work in the gymnasium, perspiring even though the gym. was not heated above fifty degrees. Dumb-bell drill was going off with great snap. It was followed by work with the Indian clubs. Then, after a brief rest, the entire squad took to the track in the gallery.
"Look here, Nute," cried the Cap'n, thoroughly indignant and shifting the contention to his officer entirely willing to ignore Mr. Luce's threats and provocations "I haven't called on you in a tight place ever in my life but what you've sneaked out. You ain't fit for even a hog-reeve. I'm going to cancel your constable appointment, that's what I'll do when I get to town hall."
One of them was that he went every day to the American banker's, where he found a post-office that was almost as sociable and colloquial an institution as in an American country town. Luce's happiness to believe had a finer polish than any other in the French capital.
He "hardened" the funny-bone of either arm against the punching bag to the tune of jeering laughter from the rest of the squad. That was Coach Luce's way of dealing with the too-funny amateur humorist. Fred, meantime, had selected his own catcher, and had whispered some words of instruction to him. "Now, come on, Ripley," ordered Mr. Luce, swinging his bat over an imaginary plate.
The next moment Smyrna saw her first selectman kicking a bleating man around and around the square until the man got down, lifted up his hands, and bawled for mercy. And when Smyrna flocked around, the Cap'n faced them, his fist twisted in Mr. Luce's collar. "This critter belongs in State Prison, but I ain't goin' to send him there.
Desperately blue over the defection of Elsie Banks, Rosalie had found little to make her evening cheerful indoors, but the fresh, crisp air set her spirits bounding the instant she closed Mrs. Luce's door from the outside.
