"I suppose you can't help it," said Plank very gently; "some people can't, you know." And there was another silence, broken by Mortimer, whose entire hulk was tingling with a mixture of surprise and amusement over his protégé's developing ability to take care of himself. "Did you say that Stephen Siward is in Westbury, Billy?" "No; he's in town," replied Fleetwood.
Isabel was not the least of a flirt, but she really could not prevent all this crowd of persons coming down to see her off, with lavish flowers and more lavish compliments; besides, what right had Fred to be angry? he was not even a brother! Mrs. Farnham was delighted with this display of her protege's popularity.
"We thought you might do a hundred yards agin time." "Nix!" interposed Glass, hurriedly. "I can't let him overdo at the start. Besides, we ain't got no stop-watch." "I got a reg'lar watch," said Willie, "and I can catch you pretty close. We'd admire to see you travel some, Mr. Speed." But Glass vowed that he was in charge of his protege's health, and would not permit it.
Come!" added Scheffer, turning to me. "Be good-natured. If you have six hundred francs, give them to me!" I chanced to have the money, and gave it him. "What's your protege's name?" asked I "Theodore Rousseau." Fancy that great artist selling his pictures in pairs, as furniture, in fact for bread!
"Enough, Leslie! enough!" interrupted Egerton, rising and pressing his protege's hand. "See me before you go to bed."
Edward replied very carelessly that it was an upholsterer at the north end of the town. "Ah, a tradesman you patronise." "Humph! Well, yes, that is the word, mamma, haw! haw! I have been making the bloke a lot of oak candlesticks, and human heads with sparkling eyes, for walking-sticks, &c. And now I'll go and draw my protege's blunt."
I would rather be a farm-servant, and rise at daybreak to work in the fields, than endure his insolence." She had to bear worse pain before Denzil had ridden far upon his journey; for her father came to the garden to seek her, eager to know the result of his protege's wooing. "Well, sweetheart," he began, taking her to his bosom and kissing her. "Do I salute the future Lady Warner?"
Hapgood, by sundry vigorous applications at headquarters, was, in consideration of his own and his protégé's good conduct on the battle field, permitted to remain with the patient over night. The sergeant's skull, as we have before intimated, was not very badly damaged, as physical injuries were measured after the bloody battle of that day.
Evidently the elders were not a trifle bothered by my little protege's proceedings, and did not know how to act. He had been much liked, his character was unblemished, he had done himself credit in his studies: what did all this change mean? The Faculty made it a rule to respect every man's privacy as much as possible, but Mr.
Lael might have added that the Prince, in course of his travels, had ascertained the conveniency of jewels as a currency familiar and acceptable to almost every people, and always kept a store of them by him, from which he frequently replenished his protege's stock, allowing him the profits.
