The impulse to tell who "George Headland" really was to this firm friend who had been more than a father to him, even in the old days, and who had made a point of dropping down upon him, informally, ever since the trouble over Dacre Wynne's disappearance, took hold of Nigel. But he shook it off. He had given his word.
As they passed the bungalow and adjoining mill there was a silence. I heard one man say: ''Ez Tom Wynne's ghooast bin seen here o' late? 'Nooa, but the Squoire's 'ez, said another. 'I say they've both on 'em bin seed, exclaimed a third voice, which I recognised to be that of old Lantoff of the 'Fishing Smack' 'leaseways, if they ain't bin seed they've bin 'eeared.
"Think of id, Laadham, der alchemisds tried for dhree thousand years to make a piece of gold so big as a needle-point und didn'd; und he made diamonds so big as your fist mit a liddle cordide und some elecdricity! Mein Gott, man! Think of id!" The jewelers accepted Mr. Wynne's proposition. Mr. Wynne bowed his thanks, and handed to Mr.
Reinforcements were brought up and defences were constructed during the night, while the Boers continually fired upon the confused units labouring in the darkness. The enemy had an entrenched position on Hart's Hill which enfiladed Wynne's Hill, and which Warren had not been able to take, as Buller hoped, with the 11th Brigade.
"At times we practised in our shirt-sleeves in the garden at Miss Wynne's, or fenced with Graydon, who was later the most expert small sword we had in the army. Hugh soon became nearly as skilful, but I was never as clever at it." One day we were busy, as Jack has described, when who should come out into the garden but Mistress Wynne and Darthea, and behind them the captain.
A footman was indeed within, waiting for him. "Mrs. Wilson says will you please come to her, sir," the man said, and led the way upstairs. The sound of gay music, growing louder as he advanced, filled Wynne's ears. He began to feel disquieted, and once half halted. "Are you sure there is no mistake?" he asked. "Oh, no mistake at all, sir," his guide answered. "Mrs. Wilson has arranged everything.
At the same time Wynne's Brigade moved forward in dispersed formation towards the enemy, and the Cavalry began to defile across the front and to mass near the three Infantry Brigades collected near No. 2 pontoon bridge.
There was no grate, but an open hearth, exactly like the one in Wynne's cottage, where Winifred and I used to stand in summer evenings to see the sky, and the stars twinkling above the great sooty throat of the open chimney. I now perceived the crwth and bow upon the table. Sinfi Lovell had evidently been here since we parted.
In such cases it is no wonder that unpleasant differences sometimes arose between Committees and inspectors. That Ennistymon was sorely tried appears from many communications to the Board of Works. A very short time after Captain Wynne's unpleasant quarrel with the Committee there, I find Mr.
As the train sped on, and the scenery became more familiar as he approached nearer to Montfield, Maurice naturally fell to thinking, in an irregular, detached fashion, of his youth. Both Wynne's parents had died in his childhood, and there had been little to keep firm the bonds of family.
