Youghal, who was wrapped up in her servants, began talking at houses where she called of her paragon among saises the man who was never too busy to get up in the morning and pick flowers for the breakfast-table, and who blacked actually BLACKED the hoofs of his horse like a London coachman! The turnout of Miss Youghal's Arab was a wonder and a delight.
One of them, a visitor I remember in my early years, was the man who first put me on horseback, and his four-horse bachelor turnout, his perfect horsemanship and general skill in manly exercises, was one of my earliest admirations.
Fourth Maggie Murphy with a new red feather in her old straw hat, happy and self-conscious, in the Grand Street turnout. Of course, the rabbits do not count. Nor the Easter eggs, since the higher criticism has hard-boiled them. The limited field of its pictorial possibilities proves that Easter, of all our festival days, is the most vague and shifting in our conception.
"What name did that woman in the kitchen give?" she demanded, viciously ripping out the offending sleeve. "Bliss. Mattie Bliss," I replied. "Bliss. M. B. Well, that's not what she has on he suitcase. It is marked N. F. C." The new cook and her initials troubled me not at all. I put on my bonnet and sent for what the Casanova liveryman called a "stylish turnout."
They make all the trouble in the world." It was daybreak when the coup reached Paris. Pierre heard, as they passed the barrier, a laborer say to his mate "That's a fine turnout. I wish I was in the place of the one who is riding inside!" "So do I!" returned the other. And Pierre thought, philosophically: "Poor fools! If they only knew!"
So if you keep your hand to your nose he will know you are not smelling anything, so he'll keep quiet." "I don't ah know as I like that," stammered William Philander. "Carriage for the college!" called the driver, approaching, and before he could say anything the Rovers had Tubbs in the turnout. "Mr. Smith, Mr. Tubbs," said Dick, introducing the students. Smith bowed, and so did Tubbs.
An hour later Peleg Snuggers started away from Putnam Hall with his prisoner. Aleck looked the picture of misery as he sat on a rear seat, his wrists bound together and one leg tied to the wagon seat with a rope. "Dis am a mistake," he groaned. "I aint guilty nohow!" Some of the boys wished to speak to him, but this was not permitted. Soon the turnout was out of sight.
He was a famous guide once; but he met with misfortune, and took to carriage work as a means of livelihood. He has damaged his turnout twice this year; so this morning he was dismissed by telephone, and another driver is coming from St. Moritz to take his place." Spencer looked at Stampa. He liked the strong, worn face, with its half wistful, half resigned expression.
Jim Irving, who, before our party separated, had opened three bottles of wine. Before leaving I had asked him to call on me at the St. Nicholas. The next day he came and invited me to take a drive with him to Fordham the following Sunday. On Sunday he appeared behind a fast trotting horse, and in every respect an elegant turnout.
How many handkerchiefs a day are put to use may be judged from the fact that the average sale of tea at Upper Fort Garry is four large boxes daily all, be it remembered, brought by ship to Hudson Bay, and thence by batteaux and portage to the Red River. The caravan by which we and a number of others were carried back to civilization was a stylish enough turnout for Red River.
