"He may have failed to get the concession. If that were so you'd have an equal chance. Will you call them off if I give you that?" "But you can't, my dear," said Torrington gently. "And even if you could, you mustn't," snapped Cassis. "Mustn't!" There was something magnificent in her scorn. "Why I'd wreck the whole crowd of you for one sight of him. Here you " and she swung round on Ezra Hipps.
Kinsella with her baby, the three small Kinsella boys, Frank Mannix, who, to the further injury of his ankle, had hobbled down the hill, and in the far background, the Reverend Barnabas Pennefather. Lady Isabel rushed upon her father, flung her arms round his neck and kissed him passionately with tears in her eyes. Lord Torrington did not seem particularly pleased to see her.
Cranbourne has a bee in his bonnet." "A whole hive," Lord Almont interjected. "Perhaps," Mr. Torrington smiled, "but let us at least do him the justice to admit that they buzz very merrily." Cassis shrugged his shoulders. "Buzzing is of no value in the present circumstances." Mr. Torrington continued to smile. "Except so far as it helps our young friend here to buzz off," he said.
"It's for your sake entirely that it's being done," said Priscilla. "You're the most ungrateful beast I ever met. It would serve you jolly well right if we left you here to have your own arm twisted by Lord Torrington." Miss Rutherford was kneeling in front of a beautiful canteen, fitting aluminium plates and various articles of cutlery into the places prepared for them.
Now, there are other things to say " But there was no time to say them, for the taxi stopped. The time seemed so short since the Savoy that Annesley couldn't believe they were in Torrington Square. Perhaps the chauffeur had made a mistake? She looked out, hoping that it might be so; but before her were the darkened windows of the dull, familiar house, 22-A. The great moment was upon them.
It was a very temporary display of force. Five years later Sir John Narborough, instead of bombarding, was meekly paying sixty thousand "pieces of eight" to the Algerines for slaves and presents. In 1681 Admiral Herbert, afterwards Lord Torrington, executed various amicable cruises against the Algerines.
The Dutch squadron under Cornelis Evertsen bore the brunt of the fight and suffered heavily. They received little help from the English contingent; and the English Admiral Torrington was accused of having wilfully sacrificed his allies. The effect was serious, for the French enjoyed for a while the rare satisfaction of holding the command of the Channel.
Our opponents have made certain dispositions to prevent his safe arrival those dispositions they are prepared to remove in consideration of a third interest." Cassis snorted violently. Actual propinquity with danger, the clash of mind against mind had in a large measure restored his self-possession. "Preposterous," he ejaculated. Hilbert Torrington continued.
Fate seemed bent in forcing him to live his tragedies rather than write them; but Rickman, free of Flossie, faced the desperate prospect with the old reckless spirit of his youth. For the first year the prospect did not look so very desperate. He had found cheap rooms unfurnished in Torrington Square where the houses are smaller and less sumptuous than Mrs. Downey's.
Torrington frowned and placing a piece of sugar from the saucer of his coffee cup in a spoon held it out at arm's length. "Present this sugar to your feathered friend with my compliments," said he. "And ask him to excuse you for a moment." Hugo Van Diest returned to the table wreathed in smiles. "So you wish to talk. Proceed." "If Barraclough has the concession what have you to gain?"
