Its ringing cadence and the trend of his whole discourse gave him evident pleasure, and even caused him to continue further with his rebuke. "There you have it," said Mr. Aiken, "the Captain's own words, b'Gad. 'Mr.
"Now, as to yourself, my dear Beverley," continued the Marquis authoritatively, "you 're doocid late, y' know; but then " "He can ride," said the Viscount. "And he's game," nodded the Captain. "And, therefore," added the Marquis, "we'll see what can be done about it." "And b'gad, here's wishing you luck!" said the Captain.
"Hold your tongue, Ailsa I will not be interfered with! It's time that somebody spoke out plainly and let this establishment know what the public has a right to expect of it.

As soon as the Frenchies opened fire, I began to run, so did Crichton, but being longer in the leg, I was at the breach first, and began to scramble over the debris.

"You drive a very handsome turnout," said he at last. "It is neat, isn't it?" nodded Slingsby, his eye brightening. "Very!" said Barnabas, "and the horses " "Horses!" cried the Captain, almost himself again, "ha, b'gad there's action for you and blood too! I was a year matching 'em. Cost me eight hundred guineas and cheap at the money but " "Well?"

"Well, it will mayhap grow finer later on, remember." "Hope to heaven it does!" "It would make things a little pleasanter, Anthony."
"After all, Beverley, they aren't mine, you see." "Not yours?" "No. They're his!" "You mean Gaunt's?" The Captain nodded gloomily.
