Following him were some seven or eight packhorses, all heavily laden with hides. And behind the packhorses rode three or four naked blacks and a Chinaman. Hugh's guide at once made himself welcome in his happy-go-lucky style. He introduced Hugh as Mr. Lambton, from New South Wales.
A pair of inseparable friends, Happitt and Larkins, nicknamed Happy-go-Lucky, were rolling arm-in-arm, declaring they were perfectly sober, and, for a proof of it, trying to direct their feet upon a lump of chalk, and marching, and missing it. Up came Chaunter to them: 'Fat goose? he said-no more. Both the boys rushed straight as far as they could go; both sung out, 'I'm done! and they were.
I was a careless, happy-go-lucky young fool." The sky outside also had attraction for Warrington. A thousand times a fool! "How long ago did this happen?" "Ten years this coming April." "And now, after all this time, you wish to go back?" "I have wished to go back many times, but never had money enough. I have plenty now. Oh, I made it honestly," smiling. "In oil, at Prome.

Maybe it's first aid, or maybe it's signaling.
Geoffrey was out shooting, and the old Castle seemed full of ghosts ghosts of the living, not of the dead of those dear, gay, loving, teasing, happy-go-lucky brothers and sisters who had filled the rooms with echoes of song and laughter.

"Dick," he said one day when Blake thought he was too ill to perceive that he was casting a reflection on his son, "I wish my personal means were larger, so I could give Bertram enough and leave Sandymere to you; then I'd know the place would be in good hands.
