"I may have occasion to question thee farther," he said, in a voice that had lost most of that compass and depth for which it was so remarkable. "Stand there, sirrah, and be in readiness to answer. And now, Mr. Francis, I desire to know why my niece declines taking the breakfast with myself and my guest?"
"A living man," said one; "a living man," said the other; and they came thronging about me like caterpillars from every corner. "How did you come hither, sirrah?" said a little morkin of a death who was there. "Truly sir," said I, "I know no more than yourself." "What do they call you?" he demanded.
These words rankled, though they were said offhand and with the license of coffee-house talk at so late an hour. Beau Wilson rose, in a somewhat unsteady attitude, and, turning towards Law, addressed him with a tone which left small option as to its meaning. "Sirrah!" cried he, "I know not who you are, but I would have a word or two of good advice for you!"
You have cause to be angry, but still I think the knave mistook more out of conceit than of purpose; and I judge you will have the better service of him another time, if you overlook this fault Get you gone, sirrah I'll make your peace." "Go, then," said his master, "and get out of my sight."
Clip, clip, went the shears until at last all of her ringlets lay, a mass of ruddy gold, in a great heap among the rushes. Francis looked at them, and then at the mocking face of the lady, and her heart throbbed with wrath. "Madam," she said as the Lady Priscilla untied her bonds and she was once more free, "I will never forgive this." "Thou art rude, sirrah," laughed the lady.
But no, not fatal. Friedrich did lock him in Magdeburg for some months; then let him out: 'Home to Glogau, sirrah; stick to your Canonry henceforth, and let us hear no more of you at all! Which shall be his fate in these pages also." Good, my friend; no more of him, then! Only recollect "September, 1752," if dateless Royal Letters in De Prades's hand turn up.
Any fantastic, much more any suspicious-looking person, might fare the worse. An idle lounger at the street-corner he has been known to hit over the crown; and peremptorily despatch: "Home, Sirrah, and take to some work!" Dandiacal figures, nay people looking like Frenchmen, idle flaunting women even, better for them to be going.
The innkeeper gaped like a fish. "How now, sirrah? Dost think I cannot pay thy score?" quoth Carew, sharply. "Nay, nay," stammered the host; "but, sir, where where will ye put it all without bursting into bits?" "Be off with thee!" cried Carew, sharply. "That is my affair. Nay, Nick," said he, laughing at the boy's, astonished look; "we shall not burst.
The King let this pass; but when the thief returned for a second handful, he quietly said, "Sirrah, you had better take care, for if Hugolin, my chamberlain, catches you, he will give you a sound beating." Hugolin soon came in, and was much concerned at the loss. "Never mind," said the King; "the poor man wants it more than we do."
You are a warm fellow now. What, you've made no hole in Madame Alison's money bags yet." "You're offensive, do you know?" Harry said. "I have been itching to tell you so." Colonel Boyce's face set. "What now? Are you against me, sirrah?" "Ods fish, you're a martyr, ain't you?" Harry laughed. But we are beginning at the end, I think.
