Gradually the rough surface of the trail grew smoother until it became Paradise Road the well-worn thoroughfare of the stagecoach with its 'inns and outs', as the drivers used to say the inns where the 'men folks' sat in the firelight of the blazing logs after supper and told tales of adventure until bedtime, while the women sat with their knitting in the parlour, and the young men wrestled in the stableyard.
It lies out of the forest, a cluster of houses, with an old bridge, an old castle in ruin, and a quaint old church. The inn garden descends in terraces to the river; stableyard, kailyard, orchard, and a space of lawn, fringed with rushes and embellished with a green arbour. On the opposite bank there is a reach of English-looking plain, set thickly with willows and poplars.
"Aye aye he's been agone these many hours since your lordship kicked him. He took horse, he did, for Bath, he did." "Horses!" I roared. "Horses for two gentlemen!" And the stableyard, very respectful since my duel, began to ring with cries. The landlord pleaded something about his bill, and in my impatience I hurled to him all of my gold save one piece.
Everybody wanted to take something different, and nobody thought the other people's things would be the slightest use. It is sometimes thus even with grown-up expeditions. So then Oswald, who is equal to the hardest emergency that ever emerged yet, said 'Let's each get what we like. The secret storehouse can be the shed in the corner of the stableyard where we got the door for the raft.
Dudley stood looking at him for a minute before he spoke, and then he said, "Yes, it's all that hateful doctor!" Rob dropped his head on his arms again and a smothered groan escaped him. Dudley continued his run out into the stableyard, from thence to the road, and he never stopped till he reached old Principle's little three-cornered shop.
The ubiquitous twins were in the stableyard when he rode in, raiding the corn bin for sustenance for their fantails. "Hullo, Jim, my boy," said Joan. "You're quite a stranger." "You'll stay to lunch, of course," said Nancy. "How are the birds at Mountfield? I think we ought to do very well here this year." "Where is Cicely?" asked Jim, ignoring these pleasantries.
At first his father had tried to make use of him in his agency business, and it was principally owing to Mr. Fred's bullying and insolent manners that Mr. Scully was now unable to leave his house unless accompanied by police. Fred was about thirty years of age. His legs were long, his hands were bony, and 'stableyard' was written in capital letters on his face.
There was a large inn, with a green before it, and the red-wheeled dogcart was standing in the stableyard and the lady, with Denny and the others, sitting on the benches in the porch, looking out for us.
Webster wended their way through the once busy stableyard in the rear of Dowd's Tavern.
He stopped at the first ale-house, a low-roofed, cottage-like structure embowered in clambering flowers. It had a side entrance which led into a big, rambling stableyard, and happening to glance that way he perceived a vehicle standing there, which he at once recognised as the large luxurious motor-car that had dashed past him at such a tearing pace near Cleeve.
