Baugh Allen, the last of the Special Pleaders; Professor Henry Smith, the mathematician; Lord Justice Fry, and Lord Balfour of Burleigh. There was another man, too little and too lately known, with whom I wanted to deal at length, for he exercised a distinct and special influence on my life. I mean Donald Hankey, "The Student in Arms."
"Must a man who follows a profession, necessarily cheat, then?" "Baugh! can your honour ask that? Does not the Lawyer cheat? and the Doctor cheat? and the Parson cheat, more than any? and that's the reason they all takes so much int'rest in their profession bother!" "But the soldier? you say nothing of him."
As Seigerman started to follow, Baugh tapped him on the shoulder to wait, as he had something to say to him. Baugh now confirmed everything said, using the German language. He added, "Now, my friend Stubb is too modest to admit who his people really are, but the Ohio Cattle Company is practically the Standard Oil Company, but they don't want it known.
A Sowar has just brought a letter to me from the Colonel saying that the General has got a telegram that the 19th Native Infantry at Berhampore have refused to use the cartridges served out to them, and that yesterday a Sepoy of the 34th at Barrackpore raised seditious cries in front of the lines, and when Baugh, the adjutant, and the sergeant major attempted to seize him he wounded them both, while the regiment stood by and refused to aid them.
They used up considerable time scoring for the free-for-all running race Christmas Day, during which delay Baugh not only got all his money bet, but his watch and a new overcoat.
The next day Baugh moved into his new quarters, and the day following Stubb was so pleased with his Sunday dinner that he changed at once. "I'm expecting a man from Kansas City to-morrow," said Baugh to Louie on Sunday morning, "who will know the sentiment existing in cattle circles in that city. He'll be in on the morning train."
"'Cause what's the use of security, if one's innocent, and does not mean to take advantage of it baugh! One does not lock the door for nothing, your honour!" "You shall enlarge on that honest doctrine of yours another time; meanwhile, call that shepherd, and ask the way to Mr. Elmore's."
But it has humbug you have no humbug, Jacobina. On the faith of a man, Jacobina, you be better than the world! baugh! You takes care of your own interest, but you takes care of your master's too! You loves me as well as yourself. Few cats can say the same, Jacobina! and no gossip that flings a stone at your pretty brindled skin, can say half as much.
Hold jaw! tell you what, tell you what: am going away on Wednesday at day-break, and in my absence you shall " "What? my good Corporal." "Take charge of Jacobina!" "Take charge of the devil!" cried Peter. "Augh! baugh! what words are those? Listen to me." "I won't!" "You shall!" "I'll be d d if I do!" quoth Peter sturdily. It was the first time he had been known to swear since he was parish clerk.
Neither, your honour, does the art of succeeding with the ladies 'quire all those finniken, nimini-pinimi's, flourishes, and maxims, and saws, which the Colonel, my old master, and the great gentlefolks, as be knowing, call the art of love baugh! The whole science, Sir, consists in these two rules 'Ask soon, and ask often." "There seems no great difficulty in them, Bunting."
