Parker's tie fell off then, but neither he nor his sister noticed it. "Gamblers!" he snorted. "There ain't no gamblers there. Playin' a hand or two of Californy Jack just for fun ain't gamblin'. I wouldn't gamble, not for a million dollars." Captain Obed laughed. "Neither would I," he observed. "Nor for two cents, with that clubroom gang; 'twould be too much nerve strain collectin' my winnin's.
We have got lots more things to tell each other." The afternoon passed in pleasant talk. Frank learned that Ruthven had now left Dr. Parker's for good, and that he was going down after the holidays to a clergyman who prepared six or eight boys for the army.
Parker's guidance, walked round Christ Church meadows, part of our way lying along the banks of the Cherwell, which unites with the Isis to form the Thames, I believe. The Cherwell is a narrow and remarkably sluggish stream; but is deep in spots, and capriciously so, so that a person may easily step from knee-deep to fifteen feet in depth.
I should think you would look ashamed!" Miss Parker's "shame" or her feelings, whatever they might be seemed to render her speechless. Her brother saw his chance. "You know that's just what you done, Hannah," he put in, pleadingly. "You know you did. I was so lonesome " "Hush! Hush, Kenelm!" ordered Imogene. "You left him alone to go with another man, Miss Parker.
Two others have been found among Archbishop Parker's MSS. at Corpus Christi College, Cambridge, and one in Archbishop Laud's bequest to the Bodleian. The famous #Gundulf Bible# has an interesting history. All traces of it are lost between the time of the Suppression and 1734, when it was sold from the possession of a clergyman, Herman Van de Wall, at Amsterdam.
The word "ragamuffin," which I have used above, does not accurately express the man, because there is a sort of shadow or delusion of respectability about him, and a sobriety too, and a kind of decency in his groggy and red-nosed destitution. Underground, beneath the drinking and smoking rooms, is Parker's eating-hall, extending all the way to Court Street.
It was with no slight reluctance that he finally came to the conclusion that it would be altogether unsafe to take Claire into his employment. And so he cast about for some one to supply the place left vacant by Parker's withdrawal from the business. In his final selection he was not over-fortunate, as the result proved.
Jill hurried into the sitting-room, and increased her hold on Parker's esteem by exclaiming rapturously at the sight that greeted her. Parker had expended time and trouble over the sitting-room. There was no dust, no untidiness.
To these books, with others more recently published, we refer the reader who is on the lookout for "rules." In our youth there were many of them: "Kidder," "Phelps," "Broadus," "Beecher," "Parker's Ad Clerum." Add to these "Phillips Brooks," "Dale," "The Cure of Souls," and as many more as can be remembered; their name is legion all helpful to wise men and good.
"I I got some work to do," he continued, "if you could wait till to-morrow" addressing the widow "I could more than likely go myself " "I guess I can handle the car all right," Parker said, looking significantly at Old Heck; "the roads will be dried up in a little while." "It's Parker's day anyhow and he don't want to miss " Chuck started to say.
