We shall not even trouble the reader with the humdrum details of a courtship Sixty Years Since. It is enough to say that, under so strict a martinet as the Baron, all things were conducted in due form. He took upon himself, the morning after their arrival, the task of announcing the proposal of Waverley to Rose, which she heard with a proper degree of maiden timidity.
We may naturally infer that this aspiring negro lad now began fully to reap the benefit of having been for many months subjected to the uncompromising discipline of the domestic martinet the general's wife at Malden.
"H-r-r-rrp!" barked Major Pater, glaring at Tommy Tucker as though his eyes would burn holes right through that boy's jacket. Tommy sprang to attention. He was in citizen's dress, as was the major; but Tommy was sure the martinet knew him. "What do you mean, young man, by pouring a bucket of slush over my head and shoulders?" demanded the angry Major. "Please, sir, if you'll let me wipe it off "
A prodigious, big boned figure of a woman with stiff raised arms that were erect, gesturing boughs waited for her man, not as a doting woman but as a martinet; and four times she demandingly called his name, 'Zero', and four times there was nothing. No, the four and the zero were not meant to stay together and the zephyrs of the god blew strongly upon them to obtain their separation.
"Ah-h!" breathed Pilzer in a guttural of satisfaction. Hugo crimsoned at first in confusion, then he looked frankly and unflinchingly at the captain. "Very well, sir!" he said with a certain dignity which Fracasse, who was a good deal of a martinet, found very irritating. "No, that would suit you too well!" Fracasse declared. "You shall stay!
She wound the old martinet round her finger, subdued her rampant Americanism in his society, and amused herself sowing the seeds of rebellion in the minds of "those poor Niebuhr girls." As the countess also liked her, she had been "in and out of the house" for nearly a year.
"Well, anyway," said Hinpoha, "I'm going back to bed as soon as we land and sleep until breakfast time. I'm not going for a dip this morning." "You can't sleep," said Katherine, the martinet, "you're on breakfast duty. And you'll have to step lively at that, for it's late this morning and the animals will all be hungry." "What time is it?" asked Sahwah.
"Fenleigh, take this in to Mr. Rowlands, and bring back an answer." Valentine made his way to the head-quarters of the Upper Fourth. The classroom was rather quieter than the one he had left, Mr. Rowlands being somewhat of a martinet. "All right," said the latter, who was copying a list of questions on the blackboard; "put your note on my table, and I'll attend to you in a moment."
When did you come to town, Major Stafford?" "Last night," answered Stafford. "From General Loring, near Monterey. I am the advance of the Army of the Northwest. We are ordered to join General Jackson, and ten days or so should see the troops in Winchester. What is going to happen then? Dear madam, I do not know!" Miriam chose to remain petulant. "General Jackson is the most dreadful martinet!
"I hear you're turning martinet," said Cartwright, with a disagreeable smile. "Very likely," smiled Holmes, "but what are the specifications?" "I heard that you had a sergeant busted for having an opinion of his own." "That's not so," Greg declared promptly. "Do you mean to tell me I'm a liar?" Cartwright asked flushing.
