Bob Strong's Holidays (1897)Author: John Conroy Hutcheson (1840-1897)Keywords: Hutcheson; Bob; Strong; HolidayLanguage: EnglishThe noise of the train, however, drowned Nellie voice ; besides which Master Bob was further prevented from hearing this appeal to him by reason of his head and shoulders being at that precise instant projected out of the window of the rail- way carriage, in utter defiance of the Company's bye laws to the contrary and of his sister's solicitous entreaties to the same effect poor Nellie, fearing, in her feminine anxiety, that the door would fly open unexpectedly, from the pressure of Bob's person, and precipitate her brother as suddenly out on the line. " Bob ! " she therefore repeated on finding her first sum- mons disregarded, speaking? in a louder key and giving a tug to his jacket the better to attract his attention ** I say, Bob ! " "Hullo! What's the row?" shouted back the delinquent, hearing her at last, and wriggling himself in from the window like a snail withdrawing itself into its shell, turning round the while his face, slightly flushed with the exertion, to hers ** Anything wrong, eh ? " Little Miss Nellie had not expected her timid and tentative conversational advances to be taken up in this downright fashion.

Strange to say, this was a song of which, Bob noticed, the involuntary musicians never completed the second bar. They re commenced all over again from the beginning, when they reached some particularly crucial point, where the 'click' or the * clack ' of the ever echoing * click clacking ' chorus proved too much for their overworked axles !
