The judge walked away. He did not care to be mixed up in intrigue, even hypothetically, and especially with a member of the lower orders. "I'd do for her what I'd do for a daughter of my own, sir, neither more nor less." "Quite so, Tripe. If she gave you a letter to bring to me, you'd bring it, eh?" "Excepting barratry, the ten commandments, earthquake and the act of God, sir, yes."
They devoted but a moment to visiting the other blocks of tumble-down old houses, the Rue Pirouette, the Rue de Mondetour, the Rue de la Petite Truanderie, and the Rue de la Grande Truanderie, for they took little interest in the shops of the dealers in edible snails, cooked vegetables, tripe, and drink.
The commissioner was actually glad to meet Tripe in the circumstances. If the man should suppose that because Sir Roland Samson and a judge of appeal engaged in a three-cornered conversation with him at a garden party, therefore either of them would speak to the maharajah's drill-master when next they should meet in public, he might guess again, that was all.
Few people are made so delicately that they lose color and rail at the sight of raw tripe brought in by a proud hostess to show her resources for dinner; or at a chicken coming upon the table with its head tucked beneath its wing. "We are fed with poulet, poulet, nothing but poulet," said Doctor Chantry, "until the poulets themselves are ashamed to look us in the face!"
My associates were all in the same debilitated state and poor Hood was reduced to a perfect shadow from the severe bowel complaints which the tripe de roche never failed to give him. Back was so feeble as to require the support of a stick in walking, and Dr. Richardson had lameness superadded to weakness.
He went out and cutting the strings close to the door, ran off laughing. "You will get enough of your living alone, you crazy boy," and saying this he ran into the woods. Rabbit thought he would like to get some fresh water and try the string paths so that he would get accustomed to it. He bumped around the room and finally found the tripe water bucket. He took hold of the string and started out.
Things grow worse every day. Boiled tripe for dinner ugh!" Miss Castlevaine's face wrinkled with repugnance. "And only potatoes to go with it," sighed Mrs. Albright. "It's too bad we can't have green vegetables and fruit now, in the season." "I heard something yesterday," resumed Miss Castlevaine, "that I guess you won't like I don't know what we're coming to!
Why not keep the carriage here; my husband won't mind." "Might make talk, ma'am. I'll leave Trotters here to watch for you. He'll bring word in less than a minute." Tom Tripe dismounted to help her out of the dog-cart. The Rajput struck the iron gate as if he expected to have to wake the dead and take an hour about it.
The lower part of Saffron Hill was known at first as Field Lane, and is described by Strype as "narrow and mean, full of Butchers and Tripe Dressers, because the Ditch runs at the back of their Slaughter houses, and carries away the filth."
D'ye understand? Kill him! There there's the turban for you to lie on an' memorize the smell! Kill him! Ye understand?" A deep growl was the answer, and Tom Tripe marched off toward the stables for his horse, whistling Annie Rooney, lest some too enthusiastic watcher knife him out of a shadow.
