The retriever made his way straight to her, and dropped the stick at her feet. Bobby came shyly forward, and the lady looked at him in surprise. She was dressed in deep mourning, and had a very sad face, and, though she looked young, her hair was as white as snow. 'Who are you, little boy; and what do you want? 'I'm Bobby, and that dog took away Nobbles. I've runned after him 'bout twenty miles!
Accordingly, he stopped on board the steamer till Hellyer, the hamper's custodian, left her; when after seeing him and Dick embarked along with the hamper, the retriever jumped over the side of the stranded vessel and swam ashore in company with the boat containing his friends, apparently mistrusting the frail craft, and preferring to rely upon his own powers in the water.
I remember, on the fourth night I think it was, the barge Dauntless came alongside, and arter she was made fast the skipper came ashore and took a little notice of it. "Where did you get 'im?" he ses. I told 'im 'ow it was, and he stood there for some time patting the dog on the 'ead and whistling under 'is breath. "It's much the same size as my dog," he ses; "that's a black retriever, too."
"I am not a sea lawyer," Mr. Skinner retorted, "I do not know." "The Retriever will have discharged her cargo weeks before McBride arrives. Then suppose Peasley takes a notion to warp his vessel outside the three-mile limit. What authority has McBride got then?" "I repeat, I am not a sea lawyer, Mr. Ricks." "Don't equivocate with me, Skinner!
But when he reached the gate she saw him pause, and after a moment he turned aside as if to gain a cross-road through the park. She started up and waved her sunshade, but he did not see her. No doubt he meant to go back with the gamekeeper, perhaps to the kennels, to see a retriever who had hurt his leg. Suddenly she was seized by the whim to overtake him.
"Then I can't be of much service to this family," announced Dinky-Dunk, with his maddening note of mockery. "I fail to see how you can be a retriever for a flabby-minded idler and the head of this household at one and the same time," I said out of the seething crater-fogs of my indignation.
Sarah, a foolish, gossiping girl, who acted as nurse till better could be found, was waiting on them, and by the table sat Darkie, the black retriever, his long, curly back swaying slightly from the difficulty of holding himself up, and his solemn hazel eyes fixed very intently on each and all of the breakfast bowls. He was as silent and sagacious as Sarah was talkative and empty-headed.
Winter corresponded minutely with the phenomenon described by James Durham, and he had had a black retriever. Mr. Kendal came away more convinced than ever of the veracity of James Durham's story, though he admits it was not evidential after the high standard of the S.P.R. I do not know whether the S.P.R. published the case, and I certainly do not think Mr.
She used to drive the old retriever in harness on the lawn covered with acorns and the dead leaves, and the wind still blowing them off the trees in her brown velvet that was a ducky dress! Who was it had called her once "a wise little owl," in that dress? And, suddenly, her heart sank. The pain was coming again. Winton's voice from the door said: "Well, my pet?" "It was only to see how you are.
And what friends he used to be with Ruffian, the brown retriever, and with every living creature on the place! The tennis-party began to break up, shortly after the Professor's arrival. Temperley lingered to the last. "Is that a son of the celebrated Judge Temperley?" asked one of the bystanders. "His eldest son," answered Mr.
