"Did he know it was my glove?" "Yes. I told him." Thomasin was so surprised by the explanation that she quite forgot to lecture the girl, who glided silently away. Thomasin did not move further than to turn her eyes upon the grass-plat where the Maypole had stood.
'Delighted, said Gaston, smoothly, taking Kitty's programme and putting his name down for the two vacant waltzes. 'Reciprocal, I assure you, said the lively Felix. 'Oh, by Jove! excuse me, Miss Marchurst there's a polka got to dance with a girl you'll see me in a minute she's a maypole I'm not, ha! ha! You'll say it's the long and the short of it ta-ta at present.
'Consequently, then, said Mr Willet, 'that chap, whose mother was hung when he was a little boy, along with six others, for passing bad notes and it's a blessed thing to think how many people are hung in batches every six weeks for that, and such like offences, as showing how wide awake our government is that chap that was then turned loose, and had to mind cows, and frighten birds away, and what not, for a few pence to live on, and so got on by degrees to mind horses, and to sleep in course of time in lofts and litter, instead of under haystacks and hedges, till at last he come to be hostler at the Maypole for his board and lodging and a annual trifle that chap that can't read nor write, and has never had much to do with anything but animals, and has never lived in any way but like the animals he has lived among, IS a animal.
She was not loath to leave: the green meadow, the gaudy Maypole, and the music were good, but the silence on the river, the shadow of the brooding forest, the darting of the fish hawk, were better.

That Nurse should have a bunch of May is only her due; and of course the nursery must be decorated. Long strips of coloured calico form good ribbons for the Maypole. Bows and arrows are easily made.

They were soon on the coach-top and rolling along the road. It went round by the Maypole, and stopped at the door. Joe was from home, and Hugh came sluggishly out to hand up the parcel that it called for. There was no fear of old John coming out. They could see him from the coach-roof fast asleep in his cosy bar.

"And as for that maypole of a daughter, she's nothing but a gawk." "Oh, don't let's go in there!" Toni laid a hand on her cousin's arm as Fanny turned towards the dining-room.
