"Now, good brothers," said I, lightly, as they stood at fault in the midst of the chapel, "are you satisfied I am no concealer of other men's property or persons hereabout?" "Yea, we will press on," said one of them. "They have taken to the caves like enough, and we shall have a week's 'rabbiting."
His mother waited, turning over the newspapers which came late to Castle Talbot. He must have gone farther afield than he had intended. She was not nervous. What was there to be nervous about? Terry had forgotten in the joy of rabbiting that the luncheon hour was gone by: that was all.
On his well-broken pony he shot over the golden stubble fields in autumn, brought down his pheasants, stationed at the edge of the great coverts; went out for long afternoons, rabbiting in the warrens and field banks, escorted by spaniels and retrievers, and keepers carrying lithe, lemon-coloured ferrets tied up in a bag.
I was dazed by her beauty." The Council and other speakers filed in. The audience waited expectant. To Burton's surprise Speke was not there. Silence having been obtained, the President advanced and made the thrilling announcement that Speke was dead. He had accidentally shot himself that very morning when out rabbiting.
When are we going fishing again? and I want some birds to stuff; and to go rabbiting, and collecting, and all sorts, and we seem to have done nothing lately." "Hallo, Magglin!" I cried, as we turned a corner, and came suddenly upon that individual, looking as if he had just come from the big yard. "Why, what are you doing here?" said Mercer. "No sir; on'y wish I was.
"I have not told you a lie, Uncle Hugh. I did not go," he almost shouted, shouldering his books. Mr. Colquhoun did not argue or seek to prolong the interview, but in a few words spoke the sentence of punishment. "I will give orders that you are not to use your pony for a month, and that Sandy is not to take you rabbiting or fishing for the same length of time.
I don't wonder everybody hates me. I'm about the most miserable chap that ever was." "Not you, Bob. Come over to-morrow." "What for?" "Oh, I don't know. We'll go rabbiting or something." "Now, Bob!" came from the doctor. "Here, I must go. Good-bye. I'll come if I can. I wish I was you, or old Bigley, or somebody else." "Or back at school," I said laughing.
"Look here, lads," he said; "that horse must have eight hours' rest 'fore tackling her load, and a stop on the way home, so let's load up at once with the best coarse white we can do it in half an hour or so then you two can go rabbiting or bird-nesting, or what you like, while I have a pipe and a sleep in the sand till it's time to get something to eat and fetch the horse and go."
"I could do something better than spin if I got the chance," she said, and he applauded the sentiment highly. "Of course you could, and I'm glad you've got the pluck to say so. I knew that from the first. You're a lot too clever for spinning, really. You'd shine anywhere. Let's sit here under this thorn bush. I must get some rabbiting over this scrub. The place swarms with them.
But, Hannah, I've really a couple of ferrets in a bag under there, for rabbiting, and they quarrel sometimes. I don't wish it knowed, as 'twould be called poaching. Oh, they can't get out, bless ye you are quite safe! And and what a fine day it is, isn't it, Hannah, for this time of year? Be you going to market next Saturday? How is your aunt now?"
