Blue and yellow ribands dangled from broad beaver hats, and there were rosettes of the true-blue mingled with yellow at buttonholes; and there was fun on the line of march.
Womanlike, she began probing. "Glad you liked my valley," she said. "We are told that blue is a wonderful aura to surround a person, and it's equally wonderful when it surrounds a whole valley. With the blue sky and the blue walls and a few true-blue friends I have there, it's naturally a very dear spot to me." "Yes," said Mr. Snow, "I can see that it is. I ran down on a business matter.
Yet it is the scarcely believable fact that in all these precious months, and after all the servile sycophancy they had given to the Liberals, neither Mr Redmond nor those true-blue Liberals, Mr Dillon and Mr O'Connor, had ever sought to extract from Mr Asquith an irrefragable statement of his intentions regarding the Irish Question, or whether he and his Government intended to make it a prime plank in the Liberal platform at the polls.
"Did he did he tell you anything?" asked Grace. "Anything to make you think that?" "No," he answered, adding with a sincerity that brought a light of unutterable gladness to Grace's eyes: "But I've met lots of fellows in my business, and have learned to size them up pretty well. And if there was ever a brainy, plucky, true-blue fellow in this world, his name is Will Ford!"
Bletson a true-blue Commonwealth's man, one of Harrison's Rota Club, with his noddle full of new fangled notions about government, the clearest object of which is to establish the tail upon the head; a fellow who leaves you the statutes and law of old England, to prate of Rome and Greece sees the Areopagus in Westminster-Hall, and takes old Noll for a Roman consul Adad, he is like to prove a dictator amongst them instead.
"Wait a moment about sweeping out offices and going to work," Steve insisted. "If you want to break the hoodoo you have just brought on yourself by smashing up wedding cake let me talk and act as high priest." She shook her head. "You promised, and you've been true-blue don't spoil it. Besides, it can do no good." "I want to ask a question," he insisted.
Thus instructed, the Captain put himself at the head of the line. "Now, then, Captain," said Lewis, "let's have a true-blue nautical word of command hoist yer main tops'l sky-scrapers abaft the cleat o' the spanker boom, heave the main deck overboard and let go the painter or something o' that sort." "Hold on to the painter, you mean," said Slingsby.
"This bein' a magistrates' matter, m' lord, an' me not wishin' to interfere " "Quite so." Lord Rattley felt in his pockets. "You have done us a considerable service, my man, and er that bein' so " "Forty shillin' it was. He's cheap at it" with a nod towards the Admiral. "A real true-blue old English gentleman! You can always tell by their conversations." "The fine shall be paid."
Other trumpeters and fiddlers, bearing the true-blue cockades and colours of Sir Barnes Newcome, Bart., would encounter the Colonel's musicians, on which occasions of meeting, it is to be feared, small harmony was produced. They banged each other with their brazen instruments. The warlike drummers thumped each other's heads in lieu of the professional sheepskin.
But not very long was she left in doubt. "How long you have been! And oh, where have you been? And how much longer will you be?" Among many other words and doings she insisted chiefly on these points. "I am a true-blue, as you may see, and a warrant-officer already," he said, with his old way of smiling at himself.
