So saying, he left her and turned towards Soho. Of all quarters in the queer adventurous amalgam called London, Soho is perhaps least suited to the Forsyte spirit. 'So-ho, my wild one! George would have said if he had seen his cousin going there.
Whipping out the long blade then, she makes with it various passes in the air, very supple and dexterous, and would have me fight with her then and there. "So-ho, fool!" cried she, brandishing her weapon. "You have a sword, I mind go fetch it and I will teach ye punto riverso, the stoccato, the imbrocato, and let you some o' your sluggish, English blood. Go fetch the sword, I bid ye."
Quong grinned broadly as the detective lifted the suit of double-chain mail which swayed heavily under his blue blouse from his shoulders to his knees. "So-ho!" continued the plain-clothes man. "Trouble brewin', eh?" He knew already that something was doing in the tongs from his lobby-gow, Wing Foo. "Must weigh eighty pounds!" he whistled. "I'd like to see the pill that would go through that!"
"Of course so they are," said she. "But but you " he began. "I hear Mass not on Sunday only I hear it every morning of my life." "Oh? Indeed? I beg your pardon," he stumbled. "I one one never sees you at the village church." "No. We have a chapel and a chaplain at the castle." She mounted her bicycle. "Good-bye," she said, and lightly rode away. "So-ho!
This done, I fell to with spade and mattock but found this a matter of great labour since the sand, being very dry and loose hereabouts, was constantly shifting and running back upon me. "Ha!" said she, seating herself hard by. "The sun is new-risen, yet you do sweat wofully, the which I do joy to see. So-ho, then, labour and sweat, my pretty man: it shall be all vain, aha vain and to no purpose."
The wine-party soon broke up, for Bruce could neither give new life to the conversation, nor recover his chagrin. "So-ho!" said Brogten, when they were left alone, "I shall win my bet." "Hanged if you shall," said Bruce, with an oath of vexation.
On this occasion the hounds were taken off to draw a covert instead of going to a so-ho, as regularly as though they were advertised among the fox-hounds in The Times. It was soon known that Lord Hampstead was Lord Hampstead, and he was welcomed by the field. What matter that he was a revolutionary Radical if he could ride to hounds?
There was no scabbard on his left side, but his right hand held a long bright sword. For a second he lifted the light high, while he took in the scene. His eyes were dark and dancing, like the ripples on a peat stream. "So-ho!" he said softly. "Murder! And by our own vermin!" He appeared to brood for a second, and then he acted.
They drew nigh, but could not tell what he said; so they went softly till he had done. When he had done, he got up and began to run towards the Celestial City. "So-ho, friend, let us have your company," called out the guide. At that the man stopped, and they came up to him. "I know this man," said Mr. Honest; "his name, I know, is Standfast, and he is certainly a right good pilgrim."
"I see that I must help you," said Pearson, "or you will not bring that animal up in a hurry, till you have well-nigh sawn his mouth in two. So-ho! Rover!" he cried out, adding a few cabalistical-sounding words. In an instant the animal threw himself on his haunches, so suddenly indeed, as nearly to unseat his rider. He was too good a horseman though to be played such a trick.
