There was a laugh at Brodie, true; but it was at Gourlay that a hundred big red faces turned to look. He did not look at them, though. He sent his eyes across the ring at Brodie. "Lord!" said Irrendavie, "it's weel for Brodie that the ring's acqueesh them! Gourlay'll murder somebody yet. Red hell lap out o' his e'en when he looked at Brodie."
I found it where Lully buried it six hundred years ago, the lid waxed over, and stamped with an alembic and the man's own family coat of arms. Gad, I wonder where that signet ring's got to now." "Never mind that trifle, old chappie. We've got enough of the gentleman's family jewellery to be able to do without a trumpery gold ring. It's the rest of the legacy that I've got my covetousness upon now.
If I must go with her, I should like to make things as safe as I could." "It won't take long," he pleaded; "and if I find the ring's real gold, I promise I won't hold out any longer." "There is no time," she said, "to indulge this whim. Would you mock me, Leander? Ha! did I not say so? Listen!" The private bell was ringing loudly. Leander rushed to the window, but saw no one.
"Ah! you don't know," said Mabel; "you don't know what it is to be as long as I am. Do do try and get the ring. After all, it is my ring more than any of the rest of yours, anyhow, because I did find it, and I did say it was magic." The sense of justice always present in the breast of Gerald awoke to this appeal. "I expect the ring's turned to stone her boots have, and all her clothes.
And then I'll pull his red hair to oakum, so that his father will only need to put it into the pitch-kettle!" He looked about; but as the Ottersnake, who was doomed to so cruel and terrible a fate, was nowhere to be seen, his wrath suddenly subsided, and with an upward movement of the head, he proposed: "Baker Ring's, Silla?"
Nelly's brother-in-law was in the act of turning the cart round to drive back to Swallowtown when Tom, making a megaphone of his hands, shouted across: "Won't the gentleman do me the honor of having a drink on me?" "All right," rang out the answer, and Nelly's brother-in-law drove the horses to the rear of the station. "Yes, the ring's gone," said Tom.
The wind was raw, and the ground, frozen hard as iron, made the ride a kind of torture, but our supper of buckwheat pancakes and pork sausages at Deacon Ring's was partial compensation. On the following Monday I started my school. The winter which followed appalled the oldest inhabitant. Snow fell almost daily, and the winds were razor-bladed.
I wouldn't have had this happen for a thousand pounds!" "Well, it's kind of you to feel so put out about it," said Leander. "You see, what makes the ring so valuable to me " The manager was pacing up and down impatiently, entirely ignoring his presence. "I say," Tweddle repeated, "the reason why that ring's of partickler importance " "Oh, don't bother me!" said the other, shaking him off.
"Lucky bounder!" said Samuel, sighing. "My wife can tell a lie the minute I get it out of my mouth!" The worried countenance of the bridegroom disturbed the best man. Tiptoeing up the aisle, he whispered: "What's the matter, Jock? Hae ye lost the ring?" "No," blurted out the unhappy Jock, "the ring's safe eno'. But, mon, I've lost ma enthusiasm."
Let him but get his applications past the land ring's tool in the state land office, and a receipt issued for his first payment, and Donnaville would be no longer a dream. If he should find himself opposed by a corrupt judge who should rule against him, he would not be daunted.
