He certainly considered himself a singularly ill-used and injured man, and drawing himself up to his full height, as if it were a matter with which Heaven should be acquainted at the earliest possible opportunity, he indulged, as we before said, in the melancholy consolation of a whistled death-dirge, occasionally interrupted by a long-drawn interlude half sigh, half snuffle of his favourite augh baugh.
Plaskwith extricated himself from the gripe of Philip, and, hurrying from the shop, said, as he banged the door: "Beg my pardon for this to-night, or out you go to-morrow, neck and crop! Zounds! a pretty pass the world's come to! I don't believe a word about your mother. Baugh!" Left alone, Philip remained for some moments struggling with his wrath and agony.
"'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."
"And well, Sir," said the Corporal, slowly rising, "how did it go off? Wasn't the villain bash'd to the dust? You've nabbed him safe, I hope?" "Silence," said Walter, sternly, "prepare for our departure. The chaise will be here forthwith; we return to Yorkshire this day. Ask me no more now." "A well baugh!" said the Corporal. There was a long silence.
"You can haf any room in mine house, Mr. Baughman," said Seigerman. As Baugh was about to leave he once more impressed on Louie the nature of his call. "Now, Mr. Seigerman," said Baughman, using the German language during the parting conversation, "let me have your answer at the earliest possible moment, for we want to begin an active canvass at once.
Minnow! baugh! But ask pardon; your honour is very welcome to fish with a minnow if you please it." "Thank you, Bunting. And pray what sport have you had to-day?" "Oh, good, good," quoth the Corporal, snatching up his basket and closing the cover, lest the young Squire should pry into it. No man is more tenacious of his secrets than your true angler.
"Your reflections amaze me, Bunting," said Walter smiling; "but the night begins to close in; I trust we shall not meet with any misadventure." "'Tis an ugsome bit of road!" said the Corporal, looking round him. "The pistols?" "Primed and loaded, your honour." "After all, Bunting, a little skirmish would be no bad sport eh? especially to an old soldier like you." "Augh, baugh!
Birds of a feather flock together augh! Sir!" "A man cannot surely be answerable for the respectability of all his acquaintances, even though he feel obliged to offer them the accommodation of a night's shelter." "Baugh!" grunted the Corporal. "Seen the world, Sir seen the world young gentlemen are always so good-natured; 'tis a pity, that the more one sees the more suspicious one grows.
Some folks say that Mexicans are good people; it is the climate, possibly, but they can always be depended on to assay high in treachery." "What guard are you going to put me on to-night?" inquired old man Carter of Baugh. "This outfit," said Baugh, in reply, "don't allow any tenderfoot around the cattle, at night, at least. You'd better play you're company; somebody that's come.
"What fools them boys be!" thought he, very discontentedly; "howsomever, the man does seem like a decent country gentleman, and we are two to one: besides, he's old, little, and augh, baugh I dare say, we are safe enough, for all he can do." The Stranger possessed a polished and well-bred demeanour; he talked freely and copiously, and his conversation was that of a shrewd and cultivated man.
