"Zee noise is great," growled Scholtz, as another burst of whip-musketry, human roars, and bovine bellows broke on their ears, "ant zee confusion is indesgraibable."
We need not say that Junkie declined obedience, neither would he listen to the silvery blandishments of Gertie. "Zee chile vas born shrieking, ant he vill die shrieking," growled Scholtz, who disliked Junkie.
Several of them were to appear on two or three charges, and three R.F.C. officers were to be tried for dropping leaflets in the German lines. I believe it came to nothing in the end, as there was not enough evidence to convict them. Captain Scholtz and Lieutenant Wookey do not seem to have been so lucky.
Let Scholtz take the first watch. You will succeed him, and I will mount guard from the small hours onward." For some days this precaution was continued, but as nothing more was heard of black marauders the Brook family gradually ceased to feel anxious, and the nightly watch was given up. "Don't you think this a charming life?" asked Mrs Brook of Mrs Merton, who had been her guest for a week.
It must be remembered that with the studies, while they completely exhibit the entire range of Chopin's genius, the play's the thing after all. The poetry, the passion of the Ballades and Scherzi wind throughout these technical problems like a flaming skein. With the modern avidity for exterior as well as interior analysis, Mikuli, Reinecke, Mertke and Scholtz evidence little sympathy.
Dobson, seizing the child's hand in his own left, compressed it still tighter, drew his hunting-knife, and sliced off the reptile's head, just as Edwin Brook with his wife and daughter, attracted by the nurse's outcry, rushed from the cottage to the rescue. Scholtz and George Dally at the same time ran out respectively from stable and kitchen.
While seated thus they became aware of a sudden increase of the din, whip-cracking, and ox-bellowing with which the camp of the settlers resounded. "They seem fond o' noise here," observed Sandy Black, handing his cup to Mrs Scholtz to be refilled. "I never 'eard such an 'owling before," said Jerry Goldboy; "what is it all about?"
The wound was not severe, but it was painful, and the sticking-plaster which held the point of his unfortunate member in its place gave his countenance an unusually comical appearance. "Is it very zore, boy?" asked Scholtz. "Zore! I wish you 'ad it, an' you wouldn't 'ave to ask," returned Jerry. "How did you come by it?" asked Junkie, looking grave with difficulty.
Born in a storm, the infant was baptised in a stiff breeze by a Wesleyan minister, on and after which occasion he was understood to be Jabez Brook; but one of the sailors happening to call him Junkie on the second day of his existence, his nurse, Mrs Scholtz, leaped at the endearing name like a hungry trout at a gay fly, and "Junkie" he remained during the whole term of childhood.
Gertrude had come into Dally's tent to fetch Junkie to her father when Sandy Black and his friends entered, but Junkie had just touched the hot teapot, with the contents of which Mrs Scholtz was regaling herself and husband, and was not in an amiable humour. His outcries were deafening. "Now do hold its dear little tongue, and go to its popsy," said Mrs Scholtz tenderly.
