An elderly gentleman volunteered to fetch a cab. Amongst them they supported Dorothea to the gate and placed her in the vehicle. The park-keeper touched his hat, the elderly gentleman made a profusion of bows, and as many offers of assistance which were declined, while Maud, soothing and supporting her charge, told the driver where to stop.
I'm not sure that I don't feel jolly. 'I wish I'd got the price of a pint about me, sighed Darkey, and the other man dropped his head and appeared to sleep. Then Darkey dozed a little, and heard in his waking sleep the heavy, crunching tread of an approaching park-keeper; he started up to warn his companion, but thought better of it, and closed his eyes again.
The Countess had now assumed a chair, and motioned to the Lady Peveril to sit upon a stool which was placed by her side. "We will have old times once more, though there are here no roaring of rebel guns to drive you to take refuge at my side, and almost in my pocket." "I have a gun, madam," said little Julian, "and the park-keeper is to teach me how to fire it next year."
They were city squirrels, you know, who lived in a park and had their daily supply of peanuts left at their door by the park-keeper. "No, I am not sick of peanuts," she continued. "But what has that to do with your dream?" "Everything," he went on. "Oh, Hazel, I dreamed of a most wonderful tree where all kinds of nuts hickory, walnuts, chestnuts and hazel-nuts grew side by side on the same branch.
"There," said he, putting a new wedding-ring upon the top of the pile. "There is a little nut for you to crack, Master Holmes." "Oh, indeed!" said my friend, blowing blue rings into the air. "You dragged them from the Serpentine?" "No. They were found floating near the margin by a park-keeper.
He was not the park-keeper, for he neither shot the deer nor superintended the preserves; but it was he who always found out who had broken a park pale or snared a rabbit. In short, what may be called all the harsher duties of a large landed proprietor devolved, by custom and choice, upon Mr. Stirn.
She was, as he felt, glad merely to stroll and loiter and let her fancy touch upon anything her eyes encountered a bush, a park-keeper, a decorated goose as if the relaxation soothed her. The warmth of the afternoon, the first of spring, tempted them to sit upon a seat in a glade of beech-trees, with forest drives striking green paths this way and that around them. She sighed deeply.
A thin string of very blue smoke went up from her faint fire and was tangled among the boughs of a flowering tree, but the coarse eye of a park-keeper could never have seen it.
Neither did the quantity of bread I had eaten cause me any longer any particular distress. I leant against the back of the seat in the best of humours, closed my eyes, and got more and more sleepy. I dozed, and was just on the point of falling asleep, when a park-keeper put his hand on my shoulder and said: "You must not sit here and go to sleep!" "No?"
"I bashed him!" George said, revelling in it. "I fairly bashed him!" She snuggled against this tremendous fellow. It was a park-keeper who, from that opium drug of sweet silence with which lovers love to dull their senses, recalled them to the urgency for action. The park-keeper led David by one hand, Angela by the other, whence he had found them wandering.
