The J. Fox whom I mentioned is esteemed by all who knows him as of a unusually gentle disposition; and you know him, respected sir, yourself, he being in my form, and best known in regretble slang as 'Foxy. We walks in Hyde Park admiring the works of nature, and keeps up our classics when we see a tree by calling it 'arbor' and then going through the declensions; but we never climbs trees for fear of messing the clothes bestowed upon us by our beloved parents in the sweat of their brow; and we scorns to fling stones at the beautiful warblers which fill the atmosfere with music.
"I have," said her stepfather. "I've got the words here and I'm messing about for some music to go with them." Honor looked out as she passed the window on her way to the piano. "Wait a minute! Here's Jimsy! I'll call him!" She sped to the door and hailed him, and he came swiftly in. "Hello! How was practice?" "Fair. Burke was better. Tried him on the end. 'Lo, Mr. Lorimer. 'Lo, Carter!"
Miss Hazy wrung her hands and wept. "Oh, what'll I do?" she wailed. "I do b'lieve he's had somethin' to drink. I ain't goin' to stay an' meet him, Mary; I'm goin' to hide. I always was skeered of drunken men." "I'm not," said Mary, stoutly. "You go on up in my room and lock the door; I'm going to stay here and keep him from messing up this kitchen. I want to tell him what I think of him, anyhow.
All day the work continued, the two crews rivalling each other in expense of strength. Dinner was served on deck, the officers messing aft under the slack of the spanker, the men fraternising forward. Trent appeared in excellent spirits, served out grog to all hands, opened a bottle of Cape wine for the after-table, and obliged his guests with many details of the life of a financier in Cardiff.
I have always believed that had he remained with the Third Cavalry division long enough to get into a real charge, like the one at Gettysburg, he would have been glad enough to put aside all those "frills" and use his thighs to retain his seat in the saddle while he handled his arms. He took great pride in his messing arrangements and gave elegant "spreads" to invited guests at his headquarters.
"Quite extraordinary, you know, her dignity, when poor old awful Charley was messing everything he's so used to mere money, you know, that half the time he forgets people are not dollars, and you have to kick him to remind him yes, quite perfect dignity. Gad, it took a lady to climb up and sit by that ragged old darky and take her dead dog away in the cart!
'I see! a sort of Mantegna Triumph with a difference! 'The drawing's all right, said Fenwick, with a long breath, and a stretch. 'If I can only get the paint as I want it' he stooped forward again peering into the canvas 'it's the handling of the paint that's what excites me! I want to get it broad and pure no messing no working over! a fine surface! and yet none of your waxy prettiness.
His new strength was exhausted. Jock was too absorbed to notice the weakness and pallor. "Why," he went on excitedly, "when you know you're going to frizzle at the end just you, yourself, you can see the justice of it, and respect what sent you there, but to eternally be thinking of others, and messing up their lives why that's durn rot."
"If there ain't going to be anything more like the old times, then what's the matter with having the story of how it was done? That book will sell like hot cakes. I'll go out and sell it it will give me a chance to keep on mixing and messing with men." "Dan, if it wasn't you talking knowing you well I'd say this is a piece of blackmail," declared the attorney-general.
In a short time all traces of hurry and confusion began to disappear, the baggage of the troops was stowed away, and the soldiers having been told off in parties, and stationed with their messing utensils between the guns of the main deck, room was thus afforded for working the ship.
