Curse on the alliance, that gave you a welcome to Bellfont. Ah Philander, could you not have stay'd ten short years longer?
Nor will I think Myrtilla's virtue lessen'd for your mistaken opinion of it, and she may be as much in vain pursu'd, perhaps, by the Prince Cesario, as Sylvia shall be by the young Philander: the envying world talks loud, 'tis true; but oh, if all were true that busy babbler says, what lady has her fame? What husband is not a cuckold? Nay, and a friend to him that made him so?
"But a mighty agreeable one," came from Spud, who had joined the crowd, while Tom hovered behind William Philander, grinning broadly over what was taking place. "Brill has wanted a really great pitcher for years.
With it you and Esmeralda will be comparatively safe in this cabin while I am searching for your father and Mr. Philander. Come, call the woman and I will hurry on. They can't have gone far." Jane did as he suggested and when he saw the door close safely behind them Clayton turned toward the jungle.
If you and I, just cruisin' this way across the broadside of creation, run across a man that knew Cousin Philander thirty-nine years ago, isn't it just as reasonable to suppose we'll meet a child who was born twenty-one years ago? I should say 'twas! Hosy, I've had a presentiment about this cruise of ours: We're SENT on it; that's what I think we're sent. Oh, you can laugh! You'll see by and by.
But never mind." The general-utility man started to put on the other sock. "If you think Great snakes, what's this? Oh, my foot! A hop-toad! Beastly!" And Peleg flung the toad at Larry. The ex-major dodged and the animal struck William Philander Tubbs full in the face. "Oh, ah what do you ah mean by such actions!" stormed the aristocratic cadet. "I shall report this."
"Nor the lassie they call the Egyptian?" Rob leaped from the dogcart, crying, "What does that mean?" "Hands off," said the precentor, retreating from him. "It means that Mr. Dishart neglected the prayer-meeting this nicht to philander after that heathen woman." "We're no sure o't, Tammas," remonstrated the kirk officer. Dow stood quite still.
And Elburtus wouldn't want it brought into court, anyway; for folks would be a wonderin' so what under the sun he wus a prowlin' round for up overhead in Philander Daggets'es barn. So he wus obliged to let the subject drop, and Philander has it all his own way. And they say his wive's brother give him ten silver dollars for his help.
He was gone and Jane turned to walk across the clearing to the cabin. Mr. Philander was the first to see her. It was dusk and Mr. Philander was very near sighted. "Quickly, Esmeralda!" he cried. "Let us seek safety within; it is a lioness. Bless me!" Esmeralda did not bother to verify Mr. Philander's vision. His tone was enough.
This note made him rise and haste to go out, when he received another from an unknown hand; which was thus: * To Philander. My Lord, I have important business with you, and beg I may speak with you at three of the clock; I will wait for you by the fountain in the park: Yours.
