'Where, he said grimly, as he pulled them down, 'are Master Trivett and Master Eames? 'Both arrested, of course, I replied. 'Sir George' I gave The Infant's full title as a baronet 'is a Justice of the Peace. He'd be very pleased if you dined with us. There's a room ready for you. I picked up the sack. 'D'you know, said Mr.
Mr Trivett was the first to return. He brought six pounds from Miss Toombs, with a note saying that it was all she could lay hands upon. This, with the four which Mavis possessed, made ten. Gunner smiled amiably and set about collecting his clay pipes, which he had left in odd corners of the cottage.
It happened at the moment that Woodhaven was very short of eligible bachelors. We marry young in this delightful spot, and all the likely men were already paired off. It seemed that, if Amanda Trivett intended to get married, she would have to select either Ralph Bingham or Arthur Jukes. A dreadful choice.
Don't let any one find out that we know each other, and we shall get on all the better. I'll tell Tom Trivett, and he'll bring you the coffee if I can't manage it; meanwhile you stay quiet in the bunk, even if you feel well enough to get up." "There is no chance of my being able to do that for some days," I answered, "for I don't think I could stand if I were to try."
But it's nothing to the roof of the granary. May I ask you to direct your attention to that?" Mavis walked towards the granary, to see that thatch had been superimposed upon the tiles; this was worn away in places, revealing a roof of every variety of colour. She looked at it for quite a long time. "Zomething of an artist, miss?" said Trivett. "Quite uncreative," laughed Mavis.
'Who's scored now? And he sat upon them. The tension broke in a storm of laughter, led, I think, by Ipps. 'Asinine absolutely asinine! said Mr. Wontner, with folded arms from his lively chair. But he drank in the flattery and the fellowship of it all with quite a brainless grin, as we rolled and stamped round him, and wiped the tears from our cheeks. 'Hang it! said Bobby Trivett.
His face was flushed, his eyes staring and wide awake; but Mavis put down these manifestations to the trying journey from town. She went downstairs to eat a few mouthfuls with Mr and Mrs Trivett before returning to his side. She found them much altered; they had aged considerably and were weighted with care. Music teaching in Melkbridge was a sorry crutch on which to lean for support.
It's going to burst." Mrs Trivett held the girl's burning head firmly in her hands. "Tighter! tighter!" cried Mavis. "Oh, deary, deary! Why isn't your husband here to comfort you?" sobbed Mrs Trivett. Mavis's face hardened. She repressed an inclination to laugh. Then she became immersed in a stupor of despair.
Upon Mavis asking what was amiss, Mrs Trivett told her that they were overwhelmed with debt and consequent difficulties to such an extent, that they did not know from one day to another if they would continue to have a roof over their heads.
He is very good at golf. He won a medal at Little-Mudbury-in-the-Wold the day before he left." There was a tense silence. I had the delicacy not to look at Ralph or Arthur. Then the silence was broken by a sharp crack. Ralph Bingham had broken his mashie-niblick across his knee. From the direction where Arthur Jukes was standing there came a muffled gulp. "Shall I ask him?" said Amanda Trivett.
