'Tally-ho Thompson, says Sergeant Witchem, after merely wetting his lips with his brandy-and-water, 'Tally-ho Thompson was a famous horse-stealer, couper, and magsman.
"Tally-ho Thompson," I said, "I'm willing to behave as a man to you, if you are willing to behave as a man to me. Give me your word that you'll come peaceably along, and I don't want to handcuff you." "I will," says Thompson, "but I'll have a glass of brandy first."
Often he heard the wild, ominous cry of the huntsman, "Eloa-in-hoick, hoick hoick, cover hoick!" as the hounds dashed into the furze; and the loud "Tally-ho!" as he himself, or, perchance, a less fortunate neighbour, broke into sight before the loud-tongued pack. And more than once, from a safe distance, he heard the awful "Whoop!" that proclaimed the death of one of his kindred.
Then the jet's navigation lights faded out on a bearing of 300 degrees. At the radar site they still had the target and there were many excited people watching the big pale, orange scopes as two little bright points of light began to close on a bigger blob of light. Then the pilots gave the "Tally-ho" they were in visual contact.
This turned him, but had no other effect, and the two animals thundered off together at a tremendous pace. Now for a "tally-ho!" Our stock of gum was scattered on the ground, and away went the aggageers in full speed after the two rhinoceroses. Without waiting to reload, I quickly remounted my horse Tetel, and with Suleiman in company I spurred hard to overtake the flying Arabs.
Every zebra jumped into the air, the brake footpiece escaped pa's foot, and the tally-ho run on to the heels of the wheel zebras, and it was all off. There never was such a runaway since the days of Ben Hur.
The great point is to get people under way. To the faithful Whitmanite this would be justified by the belief that God made all, and that all was good; the prophet, in this doctrine, has only to cry "Tally-ho," and mankind will break into a gallop on the road to El Dorado.
Then someone cries out, "Why, look, that's a tree!" and the tally-ho spills its occupants out helter-skelter; and someone steps off a long blood-red, bark-incrusted column hidden at both ends in the sand, and shouts out that the visible part of the recumbent trunk is 130 feet long.
It occurred to him that he was ready to give up the tally-ho, and the Berkshires, and the scramble of pretty girls for the place beside him, to sit quietly and watch her among her flowers. "I'm getting old old!" he said to himself, but he said it with a smile. For he knew that no boy's heart ever beat more swiftly, no boy's tongue ever sought more excitedly to find the right words.
As the girls stepped from the tally-ho, Hester grasped Helen by the arm, "I am afraid afraid," she whispered. "To meet Aunt Harriet? Why, little roommate, she is not a bit formidable. You will love her." "I think it is not just that " she began again. She could not finish. Aunt Debby and Miss Richards had come to meet them.
