"For instance come, an instance!" he laughed. I saw Stuart was talking to rest himself. "Well, at Mine Run, when you rode up to that fence lined with sharpshooters and they fired on us at ten paces, nearly." "In fact, you might have shot a marble at them but I am not afraid of any ball aimed at me." "Then you believe in chance, general?" "There is no chance, Surry," he said, gravely.
Dade was just finishing the rite of shaving, and thinking the while that he would give all that he possessed, including Surry, if he could whisk Jack and himself to the cool, pine slope in the Sierras where was their mine.
Which was Dade's method of wiping off the scowl. "Say, Dade," Jack began irrelevantly, "I'm going to use Surry. You don't mind, do you? He's the best horse I ever threw a rope off from, without any exceptions. I've been training him up a little, and I tell you what, Surry's going to have a lot to do with that duel." Dade sat up in bed as if he had been pulled up.
Yellow gauntlets reached his elbow, he wore a shiny new satchel, and in his hand carried a brown felt hat, caught up with a golden star. Stuart grasped his hand warmly. "Here you are, old fellow!" he exclaimed. And turning to the company, he added: "My new aid-de-camp, Lieutenant Herbert, ladies. A fop but an old soldier. Take that seat by Colonel Surry, Tom."
If you let a little thing like this upset you, how do you expect " "It ain't a little thing!" gritted Jack, loading his pistols hurriedly. "That six-strand riata has got a different feel, a different weight oh, you know it's going to make all the difference in the world when I get out there with José. Whoever took it knew what it meant, all right! Some one " "Where's Surry?"
'The daft old carle, muttered he to Sir Patrick, 'why cannot he let me gang my ain gate, instead of bringing all their prying eyes on me? If Jean casts me off the noo, it will be all his fault. These small vexations, however, soon faded out of sight when the drooping, half-hoisted banner was seen on the turrets of Chateau le Surry, and the clang of a knell came slow and solemn on the wind.
Mohun, of the ancient family of the Mohuns, he is the husband and the dupe of a thief!" "She was splendid as she uttered these words, Surry. They thrilled me, and made my blood flame. I half rose, nearly beside myself then I resumed my seat and my coolness. A moment afterward I was as calm as I am at this moment, and said, laughing:
Instead, Dade coaxed him down from the tree and onto Surry, swearing solemnly that the horse was quite as safe as the limb to which Bill showed a disposition to cling.
In five minutes the camp was buzzing, and "Lady Margaret" was led up. "Come on, Surry! Come on, Davenant! I will beat you to the Court-House!" And Stuart buckled on his sword, drew on his gauntlets, and mounted his horse. I was beside him. Not to be ready when Stuart was was to be left behind. He waited for nobody. His staff soon learned that.
In the year 1623 he was made batchelor of divinity, and preferred to a living in Surry called East-Clanden: there he married a wife who proved as great a plague to him as a shrew could be; she was a true Xantippe to our ecclesiastical Socrates, and gave him daily opportunities of puting his patience to the proof; and it is believed by some, that this domestic scourge shortened his days.
