Meyrick went to his room, and satisfied herself he had not passed the night there. Then she went to the foreign gent's shed. He was not there. Then she went out, and called loudly to them both. No answer. Then she went into the nearest meadow, to see if they were in sight. The first thing she saw was the foreign gent staggering toward her.
Aside from his bein' mostly drunk, which, no matter what some may say or think, I holds impairs a gent's valyoo as a social factor, Huggins is avaricious an' dotes on money to the p'int of bein' sordid. He'd gloat over a dollar like it was a charlotte roose, Huggins would. So, as I says, I ain't fond of Huggins, an' takes no more pleasure of his company than if he's a wet dog.
I wonder if they is any one that ain't looney sometimes?" Which is a Dago word I got out'n a newspaper and it means: "Who was the dead gent's lady friend?" And we all set and sweat and got the fidgets waiting fur that perfessor to come back. Which he done with that Sister Estelle grin onto his face and a pill box in his hand. They was two pills in the box.
At the back of his cottage was a little bit of ground, with a few potatoes and stumps of cabbages in it, all very untidy; and he takes me to the end of this, and says, `There's my flower-garden. `Where? says I. `There, says he. `I can see lots of weeds, says I, `but scarce anything else. `Oh, he says, `it only wants the weeds clearing off, and you'll find more flowers than you think for. It were pretty much the same with the gent's lecture.
"Sure, when I found out that I had to. I never liked shooting much. Hated to think of having a gent's life right inside the crook of my trigger finger. But, when I seen that I had to get good, why I just let go all holds and practiced day and night. And I still got to practice." "I seen that," said Bill Gregg. "Every day, for an hour or two, you work with your guns."
Never knows it to fail; an' I allows, as a s'lootion that a-way, it's owin' to the sooperior merits of our nose-paint. It's a compliment they pays us. "However, this Red Dog gent's drinkin' is his own affairs. An' his earnestness about licker may have been his system; then ag'in it may not; I don't go pryin' none to determine.
Trewilyan's handwriting, which will no doubt be familiar characters, leastways to Mrs. T., if you don't know the gent's fist." Mr. Outhouse, after looking at the paper for a minute, and considering deeply what in this emergency he had better do, did take the paper and read it. The words ran as follows: "I hereby give full authority to Mr.
There's a shop in the Fore Street where they do you everything complete for three rooms for thirty pounds, with a velvet suite for the parlour. Lady's chair, gent's chair, sofa, and four uprights, with chiffonnier, and overmantel, and all. You couldn't wish for anything better. The girl I lived with had only a few odd bits I'd be ashamed to have such a poor sort of parlour.
It's been before the court a hundred times. He'll get the child fast enough if he'll go before the court." "Anyways it ain't your business, Bozzle, and don't you meddle nor make. The money's good money as long as it's honest earned; but when you come to rampaging and breaking into a gent's house, then I say money may be had a deal too hard."
But I'm in no sech fix financial as makes it right for me to get put in the hole for fifty thousand dollars by no stranger, however intimate we be. But yere's what I'm willin' to do: If this sharp wears hobbles so he can't up an' canter off, why, rather than see a young gent's neck a foot longer, I goes this bail myse'f.
