Courtenay had the sense not to interfere. "I'll have you dishcharged, Gads death! so I will!" he shouted. "No damned airs wi' me, Mr. Carvel. I'll have you know you're not wha' you once were, but, only a cursht oversheer." He struggled to his feet, forgot his wrath on the instant, and began to sing drunkenly the words of a ribald air.
The old Gothic slang abounded in it. Do you want Italian? Here is spade, sword, which comes from spada; carvel, boat, which comes from caravella. Do you want English? Here is bichot, which comes from bishop; raille, spy, which comes from rascal, rascalion; pilche, a case, which comes from pilcher, a sheath. Do you want German? Do you want Latin?
Carvel expressed neither displeasure nor surprise. But he would not hear of my mother's request to settle a portion upon his younger son. "He has the Kent estate, Bess," said he, "which is by far too good for him. Never doubt but that the rogue can feather his own nest far better than can I, as indeed he hath already done. And by the Lord," cried Mr.
"Of course, Paul is a very good fellow. But yet" She hesitated. "After all, they are cousins," she added suddenly, "and that is a great objection." "I hope you will not think seriously of any such marriage, Mary," said John Carvel, with great decision. "They are cousins, and there are twenty other reasons why they should not marry." "Are there?
"It is written that the free should be brothers and equal," said the professor, with a laugh. "I never knew two brothers who were equal," said Carvel, in reflective tones.

"I cal'late that I can gather together enough to meet the notes, Colonel. Just a little friendly transaction." Here followed an interval of sheer astonishment to Mr. Carvel. "You have this money?" he said at length. Mr.
Did I not pull you into the coffee-room of the Star and Garter years ago, and tell you that same?" My face warmed, though I said nothing. "Oh, you sly dog! I'll warrant there has been many a tender talk just where I'm sitting." "Not one," said I. "'Slife, then, what have you been doing," he cries, "seeing her every day and not asking her to marry you, my master of Carvel Hall?"
The young man, although he showed no signs of excitement, reddened too as he came forward and took off his hat. But the sight of him had acurious effect upon Virginia, of which she was at first unconscious. A sense of security came upon her as she looked at his face and listened to his voice.

He slipped his hand into a pocket, as one used to such a motion, and drew out some papers. "I cal'late you ain't got much idea of the situation, Miss Carvel," he said; "the wheels have been a-turning lately.
Carvel did not move while she was in that attitude. He seemed scarcely to breathe. The glow in his eyes grew deeper the worship of a man for a woman.
