Half an hour later he discovered that Richmond Road was nothing better than a mean street of lodging-houses, and, my word, didn't he reel off his instructions to me like texts out of a copy-book. "Dot's a shame, Britten," he said, coming round by the bonnet of the car, which I was tuning up for the trip "I was deceived by the dabe of the street. We must have our modey before they have the goods.
"I'm going to Lord Badington's," says he, with a roar of laughter, "why not? I'm going to ask for Miss Phyllis More, and say she's an ode fred of the family. Ha, ha! what do you think of that, Britten? Will I get the modey or won't I? Well, we'll see, my boy so start her up, and be quick about it." I said "Yes, sir," and went round to the front of the car.
"If she don't pay, she goes to prison I dow too much about the peerage to be stuffed with promises. Either the modey or the writ. I'll feed here, Britten, and go back to Sadwich, if she's not on the boats. Perhaps we were a couple of fools to come at all." I said nothing, but was pretty sure that one fool had come along in the car, anyway.
Is this a round trip to see the beauties of Surrey, Mr. Moss, or do I return to my little cot after the ball is over? I'd like to know on account of taking my Court suit, if you don't mind." "Oh," says he, "you're ordered for ded o'clock, so I suppose id's the light fadastic toe, Britten. But mide you get your modey or I'll stop your salary, sure.
"I won't have his dabe in it but I'll tell him about her directly I get the chadce, and she won't be long in his house, dow will she?" "Perhaps not," said I; "but if she marries his lordship's son, the boot will be on the other leg. You'd better think of that, Mr. Moss." "What I want is my modey," he rejoined.
