Some of his female playfellows at school, thinking it a shame that a boy should look so much like a girl, cut off one or two of his curls with a pair of shears made of scraps of tin, and when the little fellow complained of his loss at home it was decided that the best way to protect him from such attacks in future was to cut his hair close to his head, which was done at once.
These fancies, however, would be checked by the recollection, that it was shocking to lower two happy spirits in Heaven into playful little girls upon earth; and she took refuge in the thought of the coming chance of playfellows, when Lord de la Poer was to bring his family to London.
"If that's all, Regie," said my father, "you and I will go and buy Rubens to-morrow morning." Rubens was a little red and white spaniel of much beauty and sagacity. He was the prettiest, gentlest, most winning of playfellows. With him by my side, I now ran merrily about, instead of creeping moodily at the heels of nurse and her friends.
Darius may have borrowed the name from Egypt, where such titles as "the 2 eyes of the king for Upper Egypt, the 2 ears of the king for Lower Egypt" are to be found on the earlier monuments, for instance in the tomb of Amen en, heb at Abd el Qurnah. And in Herodotus II. 114. the boy Cyrus calls one of his playfellows "the eye of the king," Herod.
When at last I had made an end, he sat silent a great while. "I was a proud, harsh man of old," said he at last, "and a father most ungentle and 'tis thus she doth repay me! You and she were children together playfellows, Martin." "Aye, sir, 'twas long ago."
If so, we must remember that children see, and hear, and think, that often in thoughtless ejaculations, or in those of heartfelt thankfulness, children may hear the name of God; that a simple story may have something that stirs thought; that churches are much in evidence; and that the conversation of little playfellows may take an unexpected turn.
They looked like charming playfellows. Then came a third, then a fourth and a fifth. Faster and faster they rolled in, flowing up the white sands and making a white foam round the rock. The little Carvers stood still, transfixed with a curious mingling of delight, excitement, and horror. Pen ceased to jump up and down. Presently she ceased to laugh.
But during the afternoon the recollection of these lonely playfellows in the deserted house obtruded itself upon his work and the talk of his companions. Sunday night was his busiest night, and he could not, therefore, hope to get away in time to assure himself of their mother's return. It was nearly two in the morning when he returned to his room.
Two others are addressed, “The handmaid to my mistress”; perhaps they were sent along with Tushratta’s letters to his daughter in Egypt and were from one of her playfellows or relatives.
"Was that somebody a boy of her own age?" Oh, fie! mere boys still schoolboys could only be looked upon as playfellows or comrades. Of course she considered Fred Fred, for example! Frederic d'Argy as a brother, but how different he was from her ideal.
