"What deed?" "V'y the deed. The deed as all London is a-talking of, the murder o' Jasper Gaunt, the money-lender." "Ah!" said Barnabas thoughtfully. "And so you are quite sure that I didn't murder Jasper Gaunt, are you. Mr. Shrig?" "Quite oh, Lord love you, yes!" "And why?" "Because," said Mr.
"Here's where I ought to act as if I wore long pants," said he; "now, what's to hinder me from going out there and get a-talking?" And then he sat down hastily, more disgusted than ever, and smote the air with his fist. "You'd think the nicest, quietest woman that ever lived was a wild beast, the way I act; yes sir, you would!" Meantime the chance drew nearer.
When they had started a minute or two George, who had been sitting by the fire listening to the talk, got up and stretched himself preparatory to going to bed, and said in his usual slow way: "Oi wonders what they be a-doing tonoight. Twice while ye ha' been a-talking oi ha' seen a chap a-looking in at t' window." "Thou hast!" Luke exclaimed, starting up. "Dang thee, thou young fool!
I was a-buying some silk, sir, in at Mother Duff's shop, and Susan Peckaby was in there too, she was, a-talking rubbish about her white donkey, when Dan flounders in upon us in a state not to be told, a-frightening of us dreadful, and a-smashing in the winder with his arm. And he said he'd seen a dead man." Jan could not make sense of the tale.
"Bosche is only thirty yards away, and they are plugging this corner pretty thoroughly; they're fairly whizzing through the sandbags, as if they warn't there, sir. They caught my Captain this morning, clean through the head. I was a-talking to him, sir, at the time; the finest gentleman that ever lived; and the swine killed him. I'll get six of them for him, sir."
"They say marriages were made in Heaven, my dear, and let us trust that mine has been arranged there," says George. "I suppose there was no such thing never known, as a man having two sweethearts?" asks the artless little maiden. "Guess it's a pity. O me! What nonsense I'm a-talking; there now! I'm like the little girl who cried for the moon; and I can't have it.
Then the imaginary spectators would fall a-talking of the fashionableness of bicycling, how judges And stockbrokers and actresses and, in fact, all the best people rode, and how that it was often the fancy of such great folk to shun the big hotels, the adulation of urban crowds, and seek, incognito, the cosy quaintnesses of village life.
We all fell a-talking of my grandfather's fête de grandpère of next month, and went to have some coffee. When we separated, and my uncle and my cousin Achille Grandissime and Doctor Keene and myself came down Royal street, out from that dark alley behind your shop jumped a little man and stuck my uncle with a knife. If I had not caught his arm he would have killed my uncle."
They were no sooner gone, than Julia drew the nurse into a room apart and asked her eagerly if her father had said nothing. "Said nothing, Miss? Why he was a-talking all the night incessant." "Did he say anything particular? think now." "No, Miss: he went on as they all do just before a change. I never minds 'em; I hear so much of it." "Oh, nurse! nurse! have pity on me; try and recollect."
"Well, sir, as true as I'm standing here a-talking to you, at the very instant the guns belched out their fire and smoke, and the cannon-balls with which they were loaded, there was a most treemenjus roar and a dash of water alongside the ship, and the waves came over us as if we were on a lee shore; and then, as the men stood appalled at the things going on around them, which was what no mortal ever seed before, Gil clasped my arm more tightly, loosening his right hand from the lanyard of the gun which he had now fired, and shrieked out, `There! there!
