The Parrott guns drove the enemy away from their pieces, disabling and keeping them away for two hours, but the fact of my being unable to cross infantry prevented our securing them.
But Height pooh-poohed me, and I left. Folsom followed me out, told me he could not afford to imperil all he had, and asked my advice. After Folsom had left me, John Parrott also stopped and talked with me to the same effect.
Parrott, who did beautiful work in paper flowers, had fashioned a purple pillow which read "At Rest" and reposed conspicuously upon the highly polished cover of a sample coffin. Nor could the stranger, who found himself dividing attention with the casket, know that the faltering tributes to the deceased taxed the young rector's ingenuity and conscience to the utmost.
Under the commanding eye of Hiram Look he put on the head-gear when the barouche was announced at the door, and went forth into the glare of publicity with a furtive sense of shame that flushed his cheek. By splitting the top of his hack, Ferd Parrott, landlord of Smyrna tavern, had produced a vehicle that somewhat resembled half a watermelon.
From the first, from that moment when Lucy's disappearance had required postponement of this flight, he had feared trouble; it hadn't seemed reasonable to hope that the Parrott could be held in waiting on his convenience for many days without the secret leaking out; but it was trouble to develop before the start from Port Aviation that he had anticipated.
"The one Mrs. Henderson gave me," cried Rachel; "I must go and get it, but I don't know the way out." "To give to me? Did Mrs. Henderson tell you to give it to me?" asked Miss Parrott, beginning to see light. "Yes'm. Oh, please let me out," begged Rachel; "I left it in the carriage." "Ah well, then, we'll go out this way."
All important works should be read entire, in one of the following inexpensive editions, published for school use. Pope. Rape of the Lock and Other Poems, edited by Parrott, in Standard English Classics. Various other school editions of the Essay on Man, and Rape of the Lock, in Riverside Literature Series, Pocket Classics, etc.; Pope's Iliad, I, VI, XXII, XXIV, in Standard English Classics, etc.
"I'm not afraid of losing my money," said he, blushing; "but I've had enough play for one day." "You didn't get sick of it so easy when the luck was on your side," said Harris, who had lost money to Frank, and now wanted his revenge. "For instance, yesterday, when the Parrott was talking to the boy," said Seth.
"It is on schedule, is it not, that Captain Vauquelin of the Aviation Corps is to attempt a non-stop flight from Paris to London this morning, with two passengers, in a new Parrott biplane?" "That is so.... Well?" "I must be one of those passengers; and I have a companion, a young lady, who will take the place of the other." "It isn't possible, monsieur. Those arrangements are already fixed."
"And that's what makes people drunk," went on Rachel, pointing an angry finger at the wet spot where the liquid from the decanter was slowly oozing into the velvet carpet. The butler turned an outraged countenance, on which a dull red was spreading, over to his mistress. "You would better go out, Hooper," said Miss Parrott faintly, and holding fast to the cabinet.
