But before he had gone far he heard a loud barking, then yells for help, and turned in time to see Guy scramble up a tree while Cap, the old Collie, barked savagely at him from below. Now that he was in no danger Sappy had the sense to keep quiet. Yan came back as quickly as possible.
Something dark peeped out from among the dunes three fine poplars with sappy foliage. The leaves were too bitter to eat, but we rubbed them on the skin until it became moist. Here we tried to dig a well, but the spade fell out of our powerless hands. We then lay down and scraped with our hands, but could not do much.
"Yes, I was looking at them yesterday, and thinking how good they must be." "Nay, but they am't, Master Tom; that's just it. If you was to pick one o' they which would be a sin, sir and stick your teeth into it, you'd find it hard and tasting sappy like chewed leaves." "Why I thought they were ripe." "Nay, not them, sir. You want to take a pear, sir, just at the right moment."
There was plenty of cover, but he crawled on hands and knees, going right down on his breast when he came to places more open than the rest. In this way he had nearly reached the garden when he heard a noise behind and, turning, he saw Sappy. "Here, what are you following me for? Your straw pointed the other way. You ain't playing fair." "Well, I don't care, I ain't going home.
He rose upon her memory as the fruit-god and the wood-god in alternation; sometimes leafy, and smeared with green lichen, as she had seen him among the sappy boughs of the plantations; sometimes cider-stained, and with apple-pips in the hair of his arms, as she had met him on his return from cider-making in White Hart Vale, with his vats and presses beside him.
And no one else does, neither, if you want to know except poor Bob. You've fried his fish, sure enough!" Stung to the heart, the boy stood motionless. A pigeon was cooing; the sappy scent from the lopped bushes filled all the sun-warmed air. "I see!" he said. "Thanks, Tom; I'm glad to know." Without moving a muscle, Tom Gaunt answered: "Don't mention it!" and resumed his lopping.
You will mount the scaffold, and while the great concourse stand uncovered in your presence, you will read your sappy little speech which the minister has written for you. And then, in the midst of a grand and impressive silence, they will swing you into per Paradise, my son. There will not be a dry eye on the ground. You will be a hero! Not a rough there but will envy you.
I swear and promise that, in what I can, I will preserve it sappy, full of juice, and as well victualled for her use as may be. She shall not suck me, I believe, in vain, nor be destitute of her allowance; there shall her justum both in peck and lippy be furnished to the full eternally. You expound this passage allegorically, and interpret it to theft and larceny.
"Here, Great Chiefs of Sanger," said Yan, "behold I take three straws. That long one is for the Great Woodpecker, the middle size is for Little Beaver, and the short thick one with the bump on the end and a crack on top is Sappy. Now I will stack them up in a bunch and let them fall, then whichever way they point we must go, for this is Big Medicine." So the straws fell.
Tabitha was still adding vermicelli to the soup, Minnie and Katty were still turning out jellies and blanc-manges, and Sappy the footman was still cleaning the plate. Mr. Tortoshell was sitting uneasily by the window endeavouring to read "The Times," and young Tom was flying home from the City in a Hansom's cab at the rate of twelve miles an hour.
