And the adorable gayety of the children, in their sports with good old Spoil-sport, who rather lends himself to their play than takes part in it for the faithful, intelligent creature seems always to be looking for somebody, as Dagobert says and he is right. Yes, the dog also regrets those two angels, of whom he was the devoted guardian!
Dagobert, walking on tip-toe with the greatest caution, so as not to make the floor creak beneath his tread, crosses the room which leads to the bedchamber of Rose and Blanche and applies his ear to the door of the apartment. With equal caution, Spoil-sport follows exactly the movements of his master. The countenance of the soldier is uneasy and full of thought.
"My dear," she began in a feeble voice but she was unable to continue. "Where are Rose and Blanche! Answer me then! And Spoil-sport, who is not here either!" "Do not be angry."
Roper didn't like Winn, and though their intercourse had been limited to a series of grunts on Winn's part, Mr. Roper felt something unerringly inimical behind each of these indeterminate sounds. "That man's a spoil-sport," he informed his pupil. Maurice agreed. "But he's beastly difficult to say no to," he added. "You mean to somehow, but you don't." "I expect he's trying to manage you," Mr.
If they go out with you, I must be allowed to follow them at a little distance, so as to keep them in view, just like Spoil-sport, who has proved himself a better guardian than myself. When the marshal is once here it will be in a day or two my post will be relieved. Heaven grant it may be soon!"
At this well-known sound, the laughter within suddenly ceased, and a sweet voice, still trembling with joyous emotion, exclaimed: "Is it you, Spoil-sport, that have come to wake us?" The dog understood what was said, wagged his tail, held down his ears, and, approaching close to the door, answered the appeal of his young mistress by a kind of friendly growl.
He therefore dried his eyes with the sheet, rose from the ground, erect, calm, and resolute, and said to the orphans: "Fear nothing, my children; it is our deliverer who is at hand." "Will you call off your dog or no?" cried the host, still detained on the stairs by Spoil-sport, who, as a vigilant sentinel, continued to dispute the passage. "Is the animal mad, I say? Why don't you tie him up?
"The letter is infamous but it speaks the truth," replied the marshal. Dagobert looked at him in amazement. "And can you tell who brought me this infamous letter" continued the marshal. "One would think the devil had a hand in it for it was your dog!" "Spoil-sport?" said Dagobert, in the utmost surprise. "Yes," answered the marshal, bitterly; "it is no doubt a joke of your invention."
It's quite a romance already, Richard, my boy! and I suppose you feel immensely bored that you had to come down and meet us old chaps, instead of tumbling at her feet on the ice again to-day." "A tumble in this wet day would be a cold bath to romance." The Gulf Stream had sent up a warm spoil-sport rain that morning. It did not stop, but poured furiously the whole day.
Grivois, with an expression of artless admiration: "Dear me, madame, what a fine residence!" "That is nothing," replied Madame Grivois; "wait till you see the interior, which is much finer." When the coachman opened the door of the carriage, what was the rage of Mrs. Grivois, and the surprise of the girls, to see Spoil-sport, who had been clever enough to follow the coach.
