"It is to be carried twenty-one miles at the request of the gentleman we met last night, a most sensible man, Bunting." "Augh whaugh, your honour!" grunted the Corporal, thrusting the bridle very discontentedly into his pocket, where it annoyed him the whole journey, by incessantly getting between his seat of leather and his seat of honour.
"Lira, lira, la, la, la! lira, lara, la, la, la! augh! whaugh! bother!" "So my good-nature does not please you, Bunting." "Oh, Sir, it does not sinnify: we shall have our throats cut that's all. "What! you don't believe the story." "I? Bless your honour, I am no fool." "Bunting!" "Sir." "You forget yourself." "Augh!" "So you don't think I should have lent the horse?" "Sartainly not."
'Tis not out o' nature that the man may have some 'complices hereabout, and may think to way-lay us. The old Gipsy, too, what a face she had! depend on it, they are two of a trade augh! bother! whaugh!" And the Corporal grunted his most significant grunt.
Well, Sir, I seed her, and mighty handsome she looked, though a little thinner than she was; but, for all that, she be greatly changed." "How! for the worse?" "For the worse, indeed," answered the Corporal, assuming an air of melancholy and grave significance; "she be grown religious, Sir, think of that augh bother whaugh!" "Is that all?" said Walter, relieved, and with a slight smile.
"Whaugh, your honour! and is not that the very reason why I'd affront him? surely it is not my betters I should affront; that would be ill bred, your honour, quite want of discipline." "But we owe it to our great Commander," said Walter, "to love all men." "Augh! Sir, that's very good maxim, none better but shows ignorance of the world, Sir great!"
When all the hair had been pulled out, that belonging to each native was carefully rolled up in green boughs, the three lots being put together, and given to one of the wise or inspired men to be put properly away; bunches of green boughs were now placed under each arm of the boys as also in their hands, after which several natives took hold of them, and raised them suddenly and simultaneously to their feet, whilst a loud gutteral Whaugh was uttered by the other natives around.
I began scraping away as if I would be afther shaking me arm off. "`Whaugh! says they again, beginning to skip and leap about.
"Not to us who has gumption, Sir; but then there is summut in the manner of axing one can't be too hot can't flatter too much and, above all, one must never take a refusal. There, Sir, now if you takes my advice may break the peace of all the husbands in Lunnun bother whaugh!"
"`Whoo! says I. `Whaugh! says they, in chorus. `Whoo! says I again. On which they came nearer, flourishing their ugly-looking scalping-knives. "`Is that what you're going to be afther? said I, feeling uncomfortable on the top of me head. `Keep off, me beauties, till I give you another tune. And putting up me fiddle to me chin for I had let it drop, and small blame to me!
"Not to us who has gumption, Sir; but then there is summut in the manner of axing one can't be too hot can't flatter too much and, above all, one must never take a refusal. There, Sir, now if you takes my advice may break the peace of all the husbands in Lunnun bother whaugh!"
