But it was too late; and Claude came out, while the eldest-born of Anak stood sternly inquiring, "I say, what be you arter here, mak' so boold?" "Taking sun-pictures, my good sir, and you have spoilt one for me." "Sun-picturs, saith a?" in a very incredulous tone. "Daguerreotypes of the place, for Lord Scoutbush." "Oh! if it's his lordship's wish, of course!
Only tell me what you think should be done; for, of course, you know more about these things than I do can't know less." "Nothing, I assure you, Lord Scoutbush. I have always left those matters to Mr. Tardrew." "Ah, my dear fellow, you shouldn't do that. He is such a screw, as all honest stewards are. Screws me, I know, and I dare say has screwed you too." "Never, I assure you.
You shall go with me to Lord Scoutbush to-morrow, and and now we will talk of something more pleasant." And he began again upon the zoophites.
Valencia felt in a more solemn mood than usual as she walked home that day. "Well," said Claude, "I have here every line and shade, and she cannot escape me. I'll go on board and paint her right off from memory, while it is fresh. Why, here come Scoutbush and the Major."
For the rest, my only remaining hope lies in the last person whom one would usually depute on such an errand." "Who is that?" "The schoolmistress." "The who?" asked Scoutbush. "The schoolmistress; at whose house Major Campbell lodges." And Tom told them, succinctly, enough to justify his strange assertion. "If you doubt me, my lord, I advise you to ask Mr. Headley.
Scoutbush progresses up the street, bowing right and left, and stopped half-a-dozen times by red-cloaked old women, who curtsey under his nose, and will needs inform him how they knew his grandfather, or nursed his uncle, or how his "dear mother, God rest her soul, gave me this very cloak as I have on," and so forth; till Scoutbush comes to the conclusion that they are a very loving and lovable set of people as indeed they are and his heart smites him somewhat for not having seen more of them in past years.
It was as much as they could do to attend to the acute cases. And little Scoutbush? He could not nurse, nor doctor: but what he could, he did. He bought, and fetched all that money could procure.
Tell me a little about finer things than zoophytes perhaps about the zoophytes as well and you shall still be brave old Death, my good camp-comrade now for many a year." Was Major Campbell mad? That depends upon the way in which the reader may choose to define the adjective. Meanwhile Scoutbush had walked into Penalva Court where an affecting scene of reconciliation took place? Not in the least.
"They are my braces, I suppose, of course," said Scoutbush, who never understood a joke about himself, though he liked one about other people; while Elsley, who hated all jokes, made no answer at least none worth recording. In fact, as the reader may have discovered, Elsley, save tête-
"Miss Harvey," said Scoutbush, trying, as he said to Campbell, "to look as grand as a sheep-dog among a pack of fox-hounds, and very thankful all the while he had no tail to be bitten off" "Miss Harvey, I we have heard a great deal in praise of your school; and so I thought I should like to come and see it." "Would your lordship like to examine the children?" says Grace, curtseying to the ground.
