I suppose I'm to be favoured with that job during his lordship's absence. I shall certainly cover the book with crape." "Batchelor," called Hawkesbury at that moment, just putting his head out of the door of his box, "will you step here, please?" Doubleday nudged me again, harder than ever. "I say," said he, with glee, "you're to be sent too to carry his bag see if you aren't."
The visitor seized a chair and nudged up close to the major. Then he said, "My name is Partridge. I called to show you a little invention of mine." "Haven't got time to look at it. I'm busy." "I see you are. "Look at that hat and tell me how it strikes you." "Oh, don't bother me! I'm not interested in hats just now." "I know you ain't, and that's not a hat.
"Good-evening, Hudden; good-evening, Dudden. Ah! you thought you had played me a fine trick, but you never did me a better turn in all your lives. When I found poor Daisy dead, I thought to myself, 'Well, her hide may fetch something; and it did. Hides are worth their weight in gold in the market just now." Hudden nudged Dudden, and Dudden winked at Hudden. "Good-evening, Donald O'Neary."
As the Madonna passed us, Jose Rosado nudged me, and whispered audibly enough to make the crowd about us turn and stare, "Hist! here's the Donna Isabella, señor! She looks like a saint to-night!" I watched her closely as she went by me, and marked, under the meek expression assumed by the Virgin, a more characteristic one of severe resolution.
"Well," said Wickham, "I wash my hands of the whole matter." Uncle Bobbie nudged Charlie in the side as he started for his hat; and later, as he walked down the street, arm in arm with his pastor and his bookkeeper, he said: "Poor old Wickham; his heart's all right, but he's got so much Scripture in his head that his think machine won't work."
Over in the bulrushes on the other side of the Smiling Pool two little scamps in brown bathing suits waited and watched for the great fright they had planned for Grandfather Frog, when they had sent Longlegs to try to catch him. They were Billy Mink and Little Joe Otter. At first they laughed to themselves and nudged each other at the thought of the trick they had played.
As the old woman rustled into the car Joel Banks moved over courteously, but there was a gleam of amusement in his eye that puzzled Bob. How could he know that the old gentleman was having the time of his life? Bob nudged Jimmy, bidding him do his duty and introduce the two old people, and, to do poor Jimmy justice, he really did do his best.
Altogether things went very pleasantly that first day, so pleasantly that in the afternoon Lottie Price dared to hold up her hand and ask if they mightn't have a spelling match. Now no one had ever heard of such a thing on any day but Friday, and Jessie Robertson and Teenie Johnstone nudged each other.
"Guns!" said Felix; "how many do you make, Edmond?" "Six," I replied, after a careful survey. "I can count six, too," he said. "According to our spies the marshal had no guns." I nudged our guide, saying, "What is the number of the troops down there?" "Fifteen thousand infantry, and six thousand horsemen, monsieur," he answered promptly.
Constance's face showed the final contortions of that horrified incredulity which is forced to believe. Sophia nudged her violently to remind her that they were in the street, and also quite close to Mr. Povey. "Now, my little missies," said the vile Hollins. "Three pence a pint, and how's your honoured mother to-day? Yes, fresh, so help me God!"
