And who will take my work? and what work can I do?" Warrington burst out laughing. "Suppose we advertise in the Times," he said, "for an usher's place at a classical and commercial academy A gentleman, B.A. of St. Boniface College, and who was plucked for his degree " "Confound you," cried Pen.
Monsieur Tudesco, entirely at his ease among these fine people, did not seem at all aware of the young usher's hideous embarrassment. To the latter's "Come outside; we can talk better there," the old man replied unconcernedly, "Oh, no, I don't think so." He welcomed each lady who came in with a profound bow, and distributed friendly taps on the cheek among the young aristocrats around him.
First I cast my eyes along the two rows of beds that stretched away down the dormitory two parallel lines in long perspective; my comrades huddled under their blankets in shapeless masses, gray or white according as they lay near or far from the windows; the smoky glimmer of the oil lamp half-way down the room; and at the end, in the deeper shadows, the enclosure of yellow curtains surrounding the usher's bed.
If too much attention to dress is in evidence, we at once conclude that the attire is first in importance and the message secondary. The orator is a man we hate, fear or love, and are curious to see. His raiment is incidental; the usher's clothes are vital. The attire of the usher may reveal the man but not so the speaker.
Her name was Lily Leavitt, and as Sadie had already told Win she was "chucking herself" at Earl Usher's head. At first Miss Leavitt "lamped" Miss Child "something awful." But on the English girl's third Toy day a thing happened which converted the enemy into a friend an all too devoted friend.
'King Easter courted her for her lands, King Wester for her fee, King Honour for her comely face And for her fair bodie'; and Percy would no doubt have been tempted to 'polish' such more than average touches as Margaret's 'turning, without waking, in the arms of her lover as he receives his deathblow, or as the incomparable stanza in 'The Wife of Usher's Well' which tells how
"Burr Major and Burr Junior been having it out, sir," cried half a dozen voices at once, and the colour began to burn in my cheeks as I met the usher's eye. Mr Rebble stepped up into the loft, closely followed by Mr Hasnip, who stared from one to the other with a peculiar smile upon his lip. "Fighting, eh?" said Mr Rebble. "Disgraceful!
Prout; but when you deliberately stop me to tell me you've been makin' arrangements behind our back in secret with Prout I I don't know really what we ought to do." "That's beastly unfair!" cried Craye. "It is." McTurk had adopted a ghastly solemnity that sat well on his long, lean face. "Hang it all! A prefect's one thing and an usher's another; but you seem to combine 'em.
It was a false and feeble imitation of his old heartiness. Over a supper of cold ham and cheese and beer they discussed Ransome's father's health and his mother's health, and Mrs. Usher's health, which was poor, and Mr. Usher's prospects, which were poorer, not to say bad.
Mrs. Rosenfeld absolutely refused to take the usher's arm which was offered her, and said she guessed she was able to walk up alone. Johnny Rosenfeld came, as befitted his position, in a complete chauffeur's outfit of leather cap and leggings, with the shield that was his State license pinned over his heart. The Street came decorously, albeit with a degree of uncertainty as to supper.
