I wonder that they didn't add, "try Teheran," and I suppose they would at last, rather than abandon the pursuit. "But, Stubber," said I, as I conned over the various addresses on this incomprehensible cover, "are you sure this is for me?"
Something will surely happen, thought I, from my confounded ill luck, and all will be blown up. Wearied at last with thinking I fell into a sound sleep for about three-quarters of an hour, at the end of which I was awoke by my servant informing me that a chaise and four were drawn up at the end of the barrack lane. "Why, surely, they are too early, Stubber? It's only four o'clock."
"There was an expert as I showed it to says it is your handwriting, Captain 'Oshspur." "He lies!" said Cousin George, fiercely. "But when Stubber would have half the sale money, for the commission and wanted it all too! lord, how he did curse and swear! That was bad, Captain 'Oshspur." Then Cousin George swallowed his fierceness for a time, and proceeded to explain to Mr.
He had come up to town expressly to see Captain Stubber and Mr. Hart, and perhaps also to see another friend from whom some advice might be had; but on the following morning he found himself very averse to seeking any of these advisers. He had applied to Lady Altringham for assistance, and he told himself that it would be wise to wait for her answer.
For he understood that the success of his views at Humblethwaite must postpone the payment by Sir Harry of those moneys for which Mr. Hart and Captain Stubber were so unreasonably greedy.

"Gammon, Captain 'Oshspur! Vere is the moneys?" "What business is that of yours?" "Oh, very well. Bullbean is quite ready to go before a magistrate, ready at once. I don't know how that vill help us with our pretty cousin with all the fortune." "How will it help you then?" "Look here, Captain 'Oshspur; I vill tell you vat vill help me, and vill help Captain Stubber, and vill help everybody.

Boltby had already seen the Captain, all his labour would probably be too late. Where Captain Stubber lived, even so old a friend of his as Cousin George did not know. And in what way Captain Stubber had become a captain, George, though he had been a military man himself, had never learned. But Captain Stubber had a house of call in a very narrow, dirty little street near Red Lion Square.
