"But, madam, all the rooms in the Castle are unfurnished, ruinous, and have been ruinous for fifty years. The Treachers occupy the only two in which it were possible to swing a cat." "Then we must borrow Mrs. Treacher and take her along to the Barracks for chaperon. You may leave it to me to persuade her."
He carried the offending waistcoat slung across his arm, and once or twice hesitated on the verge of indignant speech; but by-and-by seemed to recollect himself, halted, turned, and, parting from Treacher without more words, marched off for his customary evening walk around the fortifications. Let us follow him. The garrison occupied the heights of a peninsula connected with St.
I've known the time when the sound of a gun would have fetched forty men out of the Barracks to save life or to take it; and a gun within thirty seconds to alarm all the Islands. But we! What's the use of us?" "Get on your coat," said the Commandant, sharply, putting on his trousers. "Get on your coat and run to the bell that is, if Treacher "
Treacher caught her as she dropped, and with Miss Gabriel's help supported her up the slope to the Barracks, less than fifty yards above. "The Barracks?" exclaimed Miss Gabriel, halting as Mrs. Treacher's lantern revealed to her through the fast-thinning fog a portion of the whitewashed façade. "Oh, but I couldn't on any account whatever!" "You'll have to," answered Mrs.
They must have been heroes of abnegation, natures like Belisarius himself, not to be cankered by hatred and bitterness; only the most perfect goodness could save them from the most monstrous iniquity. No wonder then if we find them full of contempt for all sacred things, cruel and treacher- ous to their fellows men who cared nothing whether or no they died under the ban of the Church.
In Garland Town, if you walked with two ladies it was de rigueur to offer an arm to each. The stars in their courses seemed to be helping Miss Gabriel's design. Her one anticipated difficulty for she sought an interview with Mrs. Treacher, to pump her in the presence and hearing of the Lord Proprietor's agent had been a possible interruption by the Commandant.
As 'tis, when the woman's tongue becomes afflicting, I turns round and pities Treacher. There's more ways of doing that than in so many words, and you'd be astonished how they both dislikes it." "At any rate," said the Commandant, mildly, "they have saved you the trouble of being late with the fire this morning. So you may fetch me my shaving-water at once, please."
You won't?... Very well, then, I must deal with them, while you go off with the lantern and search for Mrs. Treacher." "You are a brave man," said she; "and and I think by the look of them you are going to have great fun." The Commandant stood for a moment rubbing his chin and staring after the lantern, as it vanished in the fog.
"Poor man!" she murmured, sympathetically, "did they really go so far as all that?" "I assure you " began Mrs. Pope stammering. "Oh, go your ways and take 'em home!" cut in Mrs. Treacher. "I'm a friend to my sex in most matters; but to come askin' me to back up such a tale as that, and for a shillin'!" She turned her palm over and let the coin drop on the soil at her feet.
Simpson and Treacher amputated a poor fellow's arm close to the shoulder, which, in the cramped space of the boat, was no easy operation. He was one of our best men, and captain of the forecastle on board the Dido. An accident had nearly occurred at this period.
