Think of that, for your comfort. 'We must support life. How? 'How! repeated the blind man. 'By eating and drinking. And how get meat and drink, but by paying for it! Money! he cried, slapping his pocket. 'Is money the word? Why, the streets have been running money. Devil send that the sport's not over yet, for these are jolly times; golden, rare, roaring, scrambling times. Hallo, bully! Hallo!
Shore, when he rounds to an' learns it ain't nothin' but a toe, this party's chagrined to death. "This yere confidin' sport's arrested an' taken some'ers Prescott mebby to be tried in a shore-enough co't for the robberies; the Red Dog Stranglers not bein' game to butt in an' hang him a lot themse'fs.
Louder and louder grew the noise, as the hounds came rapidly up the ridge toward the place where the boys were stationed, and every one was on the alert, expecting every moment to see the fox break cover. Suddenly a loud howl blended with Sport's baying, and the hounds seemed to turn and sweep down the valley. "The fox has left the ridge, boys," said Frank.
Sometimes, for sport's sake, as his journals tell us, he would hunt foxes and go fowling. When he came in for the evening, after he had bathed and was anointed, he would call for his bakers and chief cooks, to know if they had his dinner ready.
Sometimes it would turn up about lunch-time and stand impatiently chugging while she changed into sport's clothes, after which it would dash away with her, humming contentedly, into the depths of the country. It was the magic-carpet which obeyed all her desires. After war-days, with their petrol shortages and restricted travel, it seemed more than ordinarily magic.
"Well, I mean it. Out here, we're clear of all that. Over there, the women call the tune we dance. Sport's the God-given antidote! Though it won't be so much longer the way things are going. We shall soon have 'em after pig and on the polo ground " "God forbid!" It came out with such fervour that Roy laughed. "He doesn't that's the trouble! He gives us all the rope we want.
Item, 'tis a frivolous thing in itself, but nevertheless worthy to be recorded for the strangeness of it, that is written by an eyewitness, that Henry, Duke of Normandy, son of Henry II., king of England, making a great feast in France, the concourse of nobility and gentry was so great, that being, for sport's sake, divided into troops, according to their names, in the first troop, which consisted of Williams, there were found an hundred and ten knights sitting at the table of that name, without reckoning the ordinary gentlemen and servants.
"Attempted murder on the high seas is a pretty serious thing." "He'll get pushed for it all right this time," grunted Browning, beginning to recover from his astonishment. Then they talked the affair over, and Frank gave them his theory of Sport's presence on the steamer, which seemed plausible. "This is something rather more interesting than the superstitious man or the Frenchman," said Diamond.
At this Mallow flicked Dyck across the face with his handkerchief. "That's what they teach where I belong." "Well, it's easy to learn, and we'll do the sum at any time or place you please." After a moment Dyck continued: "I wouldn't make a fuss over it. Let's finish the game. There's no good prancing till the sport's ready; so I'll sit and learn more of what they teach in hell!"
Then, the dance having been abandoned by mutual consent, he helped his now somewhat hysterical partner back to their table. Remorse came upon Bill. He was sorry that he had danced; sorry that he had upset Heinrich; sorry that he had subjected the Good Sport's nervous system to such a strain; sorry that so much glass had been broken and so many pats of butter bruised beyond repair.
