There was that in the Spaniard's manner that aroused my sleeping doubts of him; and I soon fell silent and sought to be alone. My gallant gentleman had withdrawn himself in a pique, and, in the company of old Captain Baulk and the lad Poole, seemed to have wholly forgotten my existence. I made Dame Barbara sit beside me, and, feigning headache, leaned my head upon her shoulder and closed my eyes.
" be the Captain's lady!" and I knew it must be a friend. So I made haste thither and peered out into the street. Sure enough it was old Captain Baulk, and with him a gentleman whose face, even in the twilight, was well known to me, he being none other than Mr. They both greeted me most kindly and inquired earnestly how I did and if I was well treated.
The Jews posted on the roof of the house poured arrows on the men who strove to work the ram, and killed many of them, till they were able to push the instrument so close that it could no longer be commanded. Now it got to work and with three blows of the great baulk of timber, of which the ram was fashioned, burst in the gates.
"There's the Betty," said Tommy, pointing to a smart-looking little clinker-built craft away at the end of the line. "I've had her painted since you saw her last." "And from what I remember, Tommy," I said, "she wanted it badly." Joyce seated herself on a baulk of timber and began composedly to take off her shoes and stockings. "How deep does one sink in?" she asked.
"We shall see him better in there," said Carver, in his horrible gruff voice, like the creaking of the gallows chain; "sit there, behind holly hedge, lads, while he cometh down yonder hill; and then our good-evening to him; one at his body, and two at his head; and good aim, lest we baulk the devil."
I could see but the one way before me: to profit by an excellent bed, to try to sleep soon, to be stirring early, and to hope for some renewed occasion in the morning. To have said so much and yet to say no more, to go out into the world upon so half-hearted a parting, was more than I could accept. It is my belief that the benevolent fiend sat up all night to baulk me.
"Of course not, of course not," said Mr. Wain hurriedly. "Of course not. I don't know why I asked. All this is very unsettling. What are you doing here?" "Thought I heard a noise, please, sir." "A noise?" "A row, sir." If it was Mr. Wain's wish that he should spend the night playing Massa Tambo to his Massa Bones, it was not for him to baulk the house-master's innocent pleasure.
'Tut! will you baulk a man in the career of his humour? Therefore, that a man may not be ruined by his humours, he should be too dull and phlegmatic to have any: he must have 'no figures nor no fantasies which busy thought draws in the brains of men. The fact is, that the ingenuity or judgment of no one man is equal to that of the world at large, which is the fruit of the experience and ability of all mankind.
She said, It hath reached me, O auspicious King, that quoth Ali Shar to himself, "This man is a tributary Unbeliever and he asked me for a draught of water; by Allah, I will not baulk him!" So he entered the house and took a gugglet of water; but the slave-girl Zumurrud saw him and said to him, "O my love, hast thou sold the curtain?"
Frank King followed Madge, and it was most extraordinary how she was always missing by a hairsbreadth, and leaving balls over pockets. 'What do you mean, Madge? Mr. Tom protested. 'Why didn't you put the white ball in and go into baulk? 'I don't play Whitechapel, said Madge, proudly.
