The incident that we have just related happened so quickly that Flanagan' had not time to reply a single word, and Biddy followed up her imprecation by a powerful effort to release herself. "Let me home this minnit, you villin," she continued; "now that you find yourself on the wrong scent boys, don't hould me, nor back that ruffin in his villany."
He had volunteered among the first and carried a musket as a private soldier in spite of his snow-white hairs. Pryor turned to the Commandant: "I appreciate, sir, the honor you would do me, but I could not think of taking it from one more worthy than myself. There is the man whose devotion to our cause is greater than mine." He introduced Edmund Ruffin and gave a brief outline of his career.
The writers of sentiment sing the praises of law breakers " "But there can be no question of the right or wrong of this book. It is an infamous slander. I deny and impeach it!" "I'm afraid that's all we can do, Ruffin deny and impeach it. When we come down to brass tacks we can't answer it. From their standpoint the North is right.
But her face fell a little; for though the departure of the Honourable John Ruffin meant that she would have less work; it also meant that she would have to spend more on food for herself and her little brother the Lump, since the Honourable John Ruffin did not eat all his bread or drink all his milk; and there was often half a cake with which he refused to continue his afternoon tea on the ground that it was stale.
Twenty yards beyond it the Honourable John Ruffin bade Pollyooly build a castle; and then he and Mrs. Gibson left her and the Lump to build it, and retiring to the sea-wall forty yards away, they sat down and fell into polite conversation. As they left her, the Honourable John Ruffin's last words to Pollyooly were: "I don't forbid you to scratch him.
When they descended from the train he clasped Pollyooly's right hand firmly, the detective clasped her left, and they walked down the platform. They had not gone thirty yards when they met the Honourable John Ruffin smiling agreeably. "Hullo, Wilkinson! How are you?" he said cheerfully. "How are you, Mr. Ruffin? At last we've found her little ladyship, and we're taking her to his grace.
The duke looked down on her and said bitterly: "I'm hanged if I know what the world's coming to!" Pollyooly had been at Ricksborough Court rather more than a month when the Honourable John Ruffin arrived, uninvited and without notice, on the Friday evening. He found the duke in the garden with the three children. "The kicking has begun," he said to the duke briefly, by way of explanation.
Ruffin," Stuart began, "we may not see as clearly as Colonel Lee to-day, but he's my commander, sir, and I'll say he's right." Ruffin faced Lee with a look of uncompromising antagonism and fairly shot his words. "And for the millions of the South, I say he's wrong. There's a time for all things. And this is not the time for such an act.
She stepped to the kitchen door; and as he entered she said: "Please, sir, the duke's here." The Honourable John Ruffin showed no surprise; he only said: "Ah, he must be wanting me to do something for him. I told you that he would warm to me when he did." "Yes, sir. But, please sir, he doesn't look very warm yet," said Pollyooly doubtfully. "He never does. It runs in the family the Osterley chill.
General Ruffin, in all other respects, was a very polite, and indeed a very quiet young man, and a brave warrior; but in the display of his passion for music, I fear he mistook either his talent or his instrument.
