"Papa, I have killed a partridge. Two fellows got me to hire a gun, and go out shooting with them last Saturday," said Harry, speaking firmly and boldly now he had once begun. "We meant only to go after pee-wits, but a partridge got up, and I killed it." Then came a pause. Harry stopped, and Dr.
At other seasons he had for his tribute one out of every hundred birds that flew across the Island on their way to Ireland tomtits, pee-wits, linnets, siskins, starlings, martins, wrens and tender young barn owls.
What's the matter, Harry you are not afraid to speak to papa?" "Only for one thing," said Harry. "Margaret, I went out to shoot pee-wits last Saturday with two fellows, and I can't speak to papa while that's on my mind." "Then you had better tell him at once." "I knew you would say so; but it would be like a girl, and it would be telling of the two fellows."
I'd have liked to see the old place and the fells again, and when I was half asleep I thought I heard the beck splash among the thorns and the pee-wits crying. Well, you are going back, and you'll marry that girl. Though it will cost you something to see Alvarez through, you ought to be rich enough." "You mustn't talk too much," said Kit. "Señor Martin told you to rest." Adam smiled.
Harry was impatient to depart, and when Mary and Tom ran after him, he ordered them back. "Where can he be going?" said Mary, as she looked wistfully after him. "I know," said Tom. "Where? Do tell me." "Only don't tell papa. I went down with him to the playground this morning, and there they settled it. The Andersons, and Axworthy, and he, are going to hire a gun, and shoot pee-wits on Cocksmoor."
Gascoigne, Betty explored the heathery moors where the distraught pee-wits were already nesting, and the cool, clean air blew down from the snowy Grampians, bracing the walkers like a draught of iced wine.
The rooks wheeled above her head in a clear blue sky, the little birds answering each other from the high furze-bushes, and the pee-wits came careering near her with their broad wings, floating movement, and long melancholy note like lamentation. At length, far away, there sounded on the hard turnpike road a horse's tread, coming nearer and nearer. Help was at hand!
