"Have a care, Master Walter," cried the coachman, who had now managed, with the elder son's help, to release the frightened horse from the traces, and had given it in charge to the stable-boy, "have a care, or you'll be over into the chalk-pit, carriage and all." "All right, William," cried the boy; "you look after Beauty, and I'll look after myself."
Barbara went back to her room, but hours elapsed ere Maria found the slumber she sought. The next morning two horsemen, dressed in neat livery, were waiting before the door of a handsome House in Nobelstrasse, near the market-place. A third was leading two sturdy roan steeds up and down, and a stable-boy held by the bridle a gaily-bedizened, long maned pony.
He put the letter into his pocket, and drawing a mattress before the door of the loose-box, went fast asleep on it till dawn, when he called a sleepy stable-boy from the rooms above and bade him ride over with the letter to Fitzdenys Court. By eight o'clock Colonel Fitzdenys arrived at a gallop from Fitzdenys Court.
An English coachman or stable-boy is taught to believe, that a certain demeanour befits his situation; and he will certainly expose himself to more sneers and animadversions, by assuming the manners of the rank next above him in society, than the highest peer of the realm will by assuming his.
"Desprez, I ask you nothing but to hold your tongue," returned Casimir. "I mean to question this stable-boy of yours; and if you are so certain of his innocence, you can afford to let him answer for himself. Now, sir," he resumed, pointing his eyeglass straight at Jean-Marie. "You knew it could be stolen with impunity? You knew you could not be prosecuted? Come! Did you, or did you not?"
Davie was in waiting, and a stable-boy or two came at a run. "Two months!" said Mrs. Grizel. "But it used to be six months, a year, two years, and more! He grows a home body, as lairds ought to be!" Alexander dismounted at the door, took her in his arms and kissed her twice, shook hands with Strickland, greeted Davie and the men. "How good it is to get home! I've pined like a lost bairn.
The latest one was that he imagined himself a great hunter, and had secured some traps and had set them in the woods in various places, most of them several miles away. The last time he was seen by the stable-boy was when he had finished the morning work at the stable. Then he had taken his gun and axe and started off to visit some of his traps.
A single mood filled him, to which all the objects of sense contributed, as the colours of the spectrum merge and disappear in white light. So while the Doctor made himself drunk with words, the adopted stable-boy bemused himself with silence. The Doctor's carriage was a two-wheeled gig with a hood; a kind of vehicle in much favour among country doctors.
Jinks, dismounting, and, with great dignity, entrusting Fodder to a stable-boy, lounging near; "that hound, O'Brallaghan, knew his place, sir, and did not presume to complain " "Of Fodder?" "Of anything, sir." "The fact is, it would have been ridiculous. What had he to complain of, I should like to be informed. So he retreated?" "He did, sir," said Mr.
He had not been at all conscious that the stable-boy had grown tired of driving about in the storm and had turned home. Nor did he understand why he was now so well received in Liljekrona's house. He could not know that Liljekrona's wife understood what a weary journey he had made that Christmas Eve, when he had been turned away from every door where he had knocked.
