"Well?" said I. "You'm right!" he nodded, "and a man wi' eyes the like o' yourn bean't one as 'tis easy to turn aside, even though it do be Black Jarge as tries." "Then," said Job, as I took up my staff, "if your back's broke, my chap why, don't go for to blame me, that's all! You be a sight too cocksure ah, that you be!"
"Then you've finished the deed, Pringle?" just as the clerk was in the act of passing through the door leading to the room where he should have been at work. "The deed, sir? no, not quite, sir. Shan't be long, sir." "You shall be long out of work, Mr Pringle, if you indulge in the bad habit of idling and gossiping as soon as my back's turned."
Lieutenant Irving's death had not occurred when they first left the vicinity of Cape Jane Franklin, or it would have been mentioned in Captain Crozier's record, which was written the day before they started for Back's River. That the boat on Erebus Bay drifted in, is evident from its being found just at high-water mark, where the debris are still visible.
"Her back's broken, Jim, no doubt about it," said Miss Toland grimly. "I think her side hurts," Miss Pierce submitted eagerly. "Well, we'll see we'll see!" Doctor Studdiford said soothingly. For an anguished moan from the sufferer coincided with his discovery that the little left arm hung limp.
Resuming our march after breakfast we followed the track of Mr. Back's party and encamped early as all of us were much fatigued, particularly Credit who, having today carried the men's tent, it being his turn so to do, was so exhausted that when he reached the encampment he was unable to stand.
I 've lost her by the Lord, I 've lost her! 'Pro tem., said the captain. 'A plate of red beef and a glass of port wine alters the view. Too much in the breast, too little in the belly, capsizes lovers. Old story. Horses that ought to be having a mash between their ribs make riders despond. Say, shall we back to the town behind us, or on? Back's the safest, if the chase is up.
So jest give 'em a flick over me pore old back's too stiff t' let me reach 'em, what wi' me rheumatiz an' a floatin' kidney or so " "Kidneys!" snarled Joe, drawing out a large bandanna handkerchief and polishing the old man's natty shoes until they shone resplendent. "What's the matter with ye blessed kidneys now?" "Don't I tell ye they floats, Joe, they floats!" "Float!" growled Joe.
"What is the matter, Master Dunlop? Have you hurt yourself on that naughty tree? I'll beat it for you. Don't you cry." Dunlop paused in his wailing to say: "It's that girl over there. She stopped telling a story. And I told her to keep on. And she didn't." "Oh, Master Dunlop! A-talking to them charity chillen!" exclaimed the nurse. "You're in mischief soon as my back's turned.
Marrapit pointed: "They grow thick at your feet, sir!" In round-eyed astonishment Frederick peered low. "They spring up the minute your back's turned, them weeds. They want a weed destroyer what you pours out of a can." "You are the weed-destroyer," Mr. Marrapit said sternly. "Be careful. It is very true that they spring up whenever my back is turned. Be careful." He passed on.
All the time we're gone, she'll be there, in perfect bliss with simply thinking of the good time we're having." "But her back's bad to-day." "Then she'll be glad that we're not there to feel it. Her back will add to her happiness, if anything." She drew in a sharp breath, as if he had hurt her. "Oh, Walter, how can you?" He replied with emphasis.
