He felt that he could have eaten Stanning. The man was quick with his left, but he couldn't box. He hadn't a notion of side-stepping, and the upper-cut appeared to be entirely outside his range. He would like to see him tackle Francis. Sheen thought bitterly of Drummond. Why on earth couldn't he have given him a chance. It was maddening. The Fives carried on the story.
'I never doubted her, said Mr. Peggotty. 'No! Not a bit! On'y let her see my face on'y let her beer my voice on'y let my stanning still afore her bring to her thoughts the home she had fled away from, and the child she had been and if she had growed to be a royal lady, she'd have fell down at my feet! I know'd it well!
Attell left the court, and they began their game. "You've hurt your eye, Sheen," said Mr Spence, at the end of the first game. "How did that happen?" "Boxing, sir," said Sheen. "Oh," replied Mr Spence, and to Sheen's relief he did not pursue his inquiries. Attell had wandered out across the gravel to meet Stanning. "Got that court?" inquired Stanning. "No." "You idiot, why on earth didn't you?
"I want you to tell me all about Mount Stanning, Mr. Marks," he said, presently. "Then that's pretty soon told," replied Luke, with a harsh, grating laugh. "Of all the dull holes as ever a man set foot in, this is about the dullest.
I won't stand it!" Phoebe Marks shrugged her shoulders, folded her work, shut her work-box, and crossing her hands in her lap, sat with her gray eyes fixed upon her husband's bull-like face. "Then you don't particularly care to live at Mount Stanning?" said Robert, politely, as if anxious to change the conversation.
Is your husband such a precious bargain that you should be groveling there, lamenting and groaning for him? What is Robert Audley to you, that you behave like a maniac, because you think he is in danger? How do you know the fire is at Mount Stanning?
"Well, don't get caught, then." Sheen registered an internal vow that he would not. "He wanted us to go again on Monday. Will you come?" "I don't think I will, Stanning," said Sheen. "It isn't worth it." "You mean you funk it. That's what's the matter with you." "Yes, I do," admitted Sheen.
He slowly sipped the pale golden liquid and thought of Clara Talboys, of that earnest girl whose brother's memory was now avenged, whose brother's destroyer was humiliated in the dust. Had she heard of the fire at the Castle Inn? How could she have done otherwise than hear of it in such a place as Mount Stanning?
Think what Stanning might have done if only he hadn't sprained his poor wrist just in time. "Look here, Linton " "Some are born with sprained wrists," continued the speaker, "some achieve sprained wrists like Stanning " Stanning took a step towards him. "Don't forget you've a sprained wrist," said Linton.
The tomb inside the rails near the altar belongs to one of the knights of Audley, but I have never taken the trouble to remember his achievements. Are you going to wait here for your friends, Miss Talboys?" "Yes; they are to return here for me after they have finished their rounds." "And you go back to Mount Stanning with them this afternoon?" "Yes."
