"I didn' think it worth mentionin' at the time, sir; but these instruments aren't intended for carryin' about." "No, no," Captain Cai agreed hastily. "Here, 'Bias! Look around an' see who's the first to welcome ye! Tregaskis, of all men! And this here's his missus." "How d'e do, Mr Tregaskis," said Captain Tobias, shaking hands.
These signs of excessive nervous sensibility warned him to limit the child's visit to a short space of time. Neither Miss Minerva nor Teresa were in the room: Carmina could have Zo all to herself. "Now, my dear," she said, in a kiss, "tell me about Scotland." "Scotland," Zo answered with dignity, "belongs to uncle Northlake. He pays for everything; and I'm Missus." "It's true," said Mr.
And the Princess thought better of it, and was proud of her little hero, and they lived happily ever afterwards. Once upon a time there was a miller who had three sons, Charles, Sam, and John. And every night when the servant went to bed he used to call out: "Good-night, Missus; good-night, Master; Good-night, Charles, Sam, John."
At last he turned and patted her with his great hand, just as some sage, mild Newfoundland dog would coax into peace the attacks of a wild young kitten. "Nay, now, Missus don't'ee, love; I'm busy. And you see, Nathanael, as your brother is sure not to canvass or try for the town, and as Mr. Trenchard is such a fine fellow, your father's friend too, don't you think we could coax him round?
I was married, and a kid had come before I was thirty. Not that I ever regretted it; by James! no. But for long enough I was never able to provide for the missus in the way I'd like, and I can tell you it was terrible gall to me to know that our set at the chapel looked down on her because she could only keep a poor home. Yes, my lad, you'll have a lot to go through."
Uncle never heerd any thing more of 'Oh Lord Missus' arter that Yes, they ought to be shamed out of it, those Blue Noses. When reason fails to convince, there is nothin left but ridicule. If they have no ambition, apply to their feelings, slap a blister on their pride, and it will do the business. Its like a puttin ginger under a horse's tail; it makes him carry up real handSUM, I tell you.
As he emerged from the throng he let his great-coat fly loose, and showed that he was dressed in his full fighting kit black drawers, chocolate stockings, and white shoes. "I'm right sorry to be so late, Sir Charles," he cried. "I'd have been sooner, but it took me a little time to make it all straight with the missus.
I went 'ome in the morning with a load lifted off my mind; but I 'adn't been in the 'ouse two seconds afore my missus started to put it on agin. Fust of all she asked me 'ow I dared to come into the 'ouse, and then she wanted to know wot I meant by leaving her at 'ome and going out for the day with another woman. "You told me to," I ses. "Oh, yes," she ses, trembling with temper.
He shook his head. "No. Not even to-night. He told the missus he was going to spend the day out of town with his consignee, but he tipped me the wink. This evening he will send a note that the consignee detains him for the night, because the letters are not ready, and I'll have to go to her and lie, the best I am able, that it's quite the usual thing. Damn!" I was appalled. This was too bad.
"Toward night the old man come to, and begun to ask questions as ugly as ever, only as weak as a baby. 'Bout midnight I was comin' out of his room, and I seen the missus in a gray dress, with her eyes shinin' like coals of fire, dive out of her room and up the stairs, and nobody never seen her afterward.
