"My word! wouldn't they?" said Jacko, who was very proud of his own part in the battle. "I say, Mr. Medlicot, did you see Bos and his horse part company? You did, Mr. Harry. Didn't he fly like a bird, all in among the bushes! I owed Bos one; I did, my word! And now I've paid him." "I saw it," said Harry. "He was riding at me as hard as he could come. I can't understand Boscobel.
And then these horrid fires! You were in the middle of the fire, were you not?" It suited Kate's feelings that Medlicot should be the hero of this occasion. "We were lighting them in front to put them out behind." "And then, while you were at work, these men from Boolabong came upon you. Oh, Mr. Medlicot, we shall be so very, very wretched if you are much hurt. My sister is so unhappy about it."
I am sorry that you should be in trouble, but I do not know that I can help you." Harry's passion was now very high, and his resolution to be cool was almost thrown to the winds. Medlicot had said many things which were odious to him.
I suppose it is better for him to be married. You've got your mother, Mr. Medlicot." "Yes: I've got my mother." "That makes a difference, does it not?" "A very great difference. She'll save me from having to go to a cupboard for my bread and meat." "I suppose having a woman about is better for a man. They haven't got any thing else to do, and therefore they can look to things."
Questions could not be asked and answered without stopping in their toil. There were questions which Harry longed to ask. Could Medlicot swear to the man? Did the man know that he had been seen? If he knew that he had been watched while he lit the grass, he would soon be far away from Medlicot's Mill and Gangoil.
Medlicot to stay and dine with us," she said, "so that she may have it cool for the drive back." "I am almost afraid of the bush at night," said the old woman. "You'll have a full moon," said Harry; "it will be as light as day." So that was settled.
"Well, marm, I do declare I think we'd better go away out of this." "Go away, Mrs. Growler! What nonsense! Where can we go to?" "The mill would be nearest, ma'am, and we should be safe there. I'm sure Mrs. Medlicot would take us in." "Why should you not be safe here?" said Kate.
"There isn't so much difference as people think. Classes hang together just in the same way; only I think there's a little more exclusiveness here than there was there." In answer to this, Kate asserted with innocent eagerness that she was not at all exclusive, and that if ever she married any one she'd marry the man she liked. "I wish you'd like me," said Medlicot.
Heathcote. "Hold my tongue! My word! Well, you go on." Medlicot came as far as the wool-shed, and then said that he would return. He had thoroughly enjoyed his ride. Kate Daly was bright and pretty and winning; and in the bush, when a man has not seen a lady perhaps for months, brightness and prettiness and winning ways have a double charm.
He and his men were in a line covering something above a quarter of a mile of ground, of which line he was himself the nearest to the river, and Medlicot and his foreman the farthest from it. The German and O'Dowd were in the middle, and Jacko was working with his master.
