Berkeley was in Addison's box at the first performance of "Cato," and tasted of the author's champagne and burgundy there, and listened with curious delight to the mingled applause and hisses that greeted Mr. Pope's prologue. A little later Berkeley went to Italy as the travelling tutor, the bear-leader, of the son of Ashe, Bishop of Clogher. In Italy he passed some four enchanted years.
No, no, you will do bear-leader to the youngster, and keep Sher Singh and the Rani from scratching each other's eyes out, and I'll knock down some more robber castles in Darwan, and demand your help when I stir up a more vicious hornets' nest than ordinary.
Lucien burst out laughing; he thought of his talk with Lousteau that evening in the Luxembourg Gardens. "He has taken on a bear-leader," continued Blondet, "one Etienne Lousteau, a newspaper hack who sees a five-franc piece in a column.
I do not mean to recount all the little troubles and annoyances which thronged upon Tom at the beginning of this half-year, in his new character of bear-leader to a gentle little boy straight from home. He seemed to himself to have become a new boy again, without any of the long-suffering and meekness indispensable for supporting that character with moderate success.
From the young princeling of some native State sauntering about Clubland with his bear-leader to the lascar off a P. and O. boat, among East London drabs, or the middle-class Mohammedan student who compares the civic achievements that surround him with the dingy dining-room of a Bloomsbury boarding-house, all are apostles of life in London as it seems to them.
As we passed the music saloon, we paused for an instant to look through the port-hole at a pale-faced girl with big eyes and a wonderful bright red dress, singing "The Angels' Serenade," while an excitable bear-leader turned her music for her.
Just at this moment Joco turned round with Ibrahim. The tall Servian peasant let the whistle fall from his hand, and the wild dance came to an end. Ibrahim understood that the performance was over, and, putting down his front paws on the ground, licked, as he panted, the strong iron bars of his muzzle. The Captain and Joco looked at each other. The powerful young bear-leader was as pale as death.
I don't mean you, because you'll never smash, and one don't turn bear-leader, even to the B. P., without the primary impulse of being hard-up. And I don't talk for myself, because, when I go to the dogs I have my own project." "And what's that?" "To be groom of the chambers at Meurice's or Claridge's," responded Bertie solemnly.
Moreover, he had been roused to madness by the noise of the preceding combats, and his master had good reason for not trusting himself much to him. "Let go the dogs!" cried the bear-leader, putting his head out of the granary skylight; "let them loose!" Then he added "If you are not satisfied this time it won't be my fault. There will be a battle now!"
"She ain't a very nasty one," quoted Jock from Newman Noggs, and as Janet appeared he received her with- "Moved by Barbara, seconded by Armine, that Miss Ogilvie become bear-leader to lick you all into shape." "What do you think of it, Janet?" said her mother. "It will not make much difference to me," said Janet. "I shall depend on classes and lectures when we go back to London.
