"Will we pin him in this house, then?" inquired Davy, again resuming the conversation. "No; they might deny him. We'll wait whar we are a bit, till he comes oot. Dog him, if he taks the direction o' the jail, and nab him at a convenient opportunity." "He may bilk us." "We'll tak care o' that. We'll gie him heels for't, Davy, if that's his gemm."
"I was going to say," he resumed more quietly, "that it's the first prize-fight I have ever attended and will be the last. But in point of fact there has been no fight." "Indeed, sir?" I heard the first lieutenant murmur compassionately. "The men did not turn up; neither they nor their trainers. The whole meeting, in fact, was what is vulgarly called a bilk. But where is Sir John?"
The beggar, with a livid face and clinched cane, confronted the Congressman like a maniac. "You bilk!" he cried. "You supper customer! I'll brain you! I had rather parted with my shoes at a dolly shop and gone gadding the hoof, without a doss to sleep on a town pauper, done on the vag than to have made been scurvy in the sight of that child and deserve his words of shame!"
"I suppose the gipsies have all gone?" inquired Bilk, as unconcernedly as he could. "Yes, I suppose so," answered Dell, offhand. "Anyhow, they've cleared off the common." "But I was told," said Bilk rather nervously, "they'd gone quite away." "Not all of them, anyhow," said Dell. "But of course they can't now show up the way they used to."
Have you set another man on the track with a view to bilk me of my promised fee? Explain, or I throw up the business." Herewith, Mr. Grabman gave a minute description of the stranger, and related pretty accurately what had passed between that gentleman and himself. He then added the progress of his own inquiries, and renewed, as peremptorily as he dared, his demand for candour and plain dealing.
