'Young sonny, don't you answer up to me when you baint in the story stopping my words in that fashion. I won't have it, David. Now up in the tallet with ye, there's a good boy, and down with another lock or two of hay as fast as you can do it for me. The boy vanished under the archway, and the hostler followed at his heels. Meanwhile the carriage bearing Mr.
After he had sat down for some time, and talked over several old affairs with my lord, one of the captains asked him if he could get him a good pointer. Ay, ay, that he can, replied his lordship; for, by my saul, mon, he and I have stolen many a dog, and lain in many a hay tallet, in our youthful days. Then turning to Mr. Carew, he told his fame was spread as much in Ireland as in England.
"Stand so a minute!" cried Jan, and seizing a lump of charcoal, with which he had made his outlines, he rapidly sketched Master Swift's figure on the floor of the tallet. Thinned down to what he declared to have been his dimensions in youth, it was transferred to Jan's picture, and the touch of red was the culminating point of the innkeeper's satisfaction.
There is a little hole cut in the bottom of the door, and you will see one like it in the door of the granary. It is made so that old Tib and the other cats can go in and catch mice. Growing between the stones of the wall just by the tallet door is the plant I want to show you now. It is the Stonecrop. Some of the stems grow upright, while others are trailing.
And our Capt'n posted some on us at top of cellar steps and led the rest on us up the stairs to a kind o' tallet where thuck machine-gun was. And what d'ye think we found, sir?" he said, raising himself on his elbow. "What?" "There was a poor girl there half daft she wur wi' nothing on but a man's overcoat.
Then they thought of the tallet over the stable, perhaps he had climbed up there again from the manger, over the heads of the great cart-horses, quietly eating their hay, while he put his foot on the manger and then on the projecting steps in the corner, and into the hayrack and so up. He had done it once before, and could not get down, and so the tallet was searched.
Towards the end of the week they were disturbed by a scuffling on the tallet stairs, and Rufus bounced in, followed at a slower pace by the schoolmaster, crying, "Unearthed at last!" "Come in, come in! That's right!" shouted Master Chuter. "Let Master Swift look, Jan. He be a scholar, and'll tell us all about un." But Jan shrank into the shadow.
Master Chuter provided him with sheets of thick whitey-brown paper, on which he made water-color studies, from which he painted afterwards. By his desire no one was admitted to the tallet, though Master Chuter's delight increased with the progress of the picture till the secret was agony to him.
Built round the foldyard are the stables for the cart-horses, the cowhouses, and the great barn. Behind the stables is the rickyard. That, like the garden, is above the foldyard; from it there are only two or three steps to the door of the loft or "tallet" above the stables. It is there that we will go now. The wall of the tallet is of stone and is very old; the roof is tiled.
None had heard this, for Bonus, his meal ended, went off to the little tallet over a cattle-byre which was his private apartment. "You'd rip that up again you, who swore never to open' your mouth upon it?" "You're frightened now." "Not of you, anyway. But you'd best not to come up here no more.
