When jolly Butcher Billing, who was one of the limited company which had sat with Robert at the Pilot last night, reported that he had quitted the army, he was hearkened to dolefully, and the feeling was universal that glorious Robert had cut himself off from his pension and his hospital.
But this I will confess to you, that these birds which tell us news are seldom very credible, and are often not very creditable, You must take a bird's word for what it may be worth. It is said that they have quarrelled. I daresay, if the truth were known, they are billing and cooing in each other's arms at this moment."
How was it that no one laughed outright at such billing and cooing as this? Mr. Webster. A Senator, "He is here." Mr. Webster. "I am very happy to hear that he is; may he long be here, and in the enjoyment of health to serve his country!" And this: Mr. Webster. "The honorable member did not disguise his conduct or his motives." Mr. Calhoun. "Never, never." Mr. Webster.
Ricketts at the corner, gave that justly aggrieved gentleman the surprise of his life. Elk Street thrilled to the fact that Mr. Billing had broken out again, and spoke darkly of what the evening might bring forth.
Billing knowing this story all that time and keeping it to herself; how sly! "Oh, only lately," replied the visitor in an apologetic key; "an old aunt of mine lives in Oxford, and I met her in town last Easter. Somehow the name of Shafto cropped up, and I heard the whole tale.
"Not so much as you might think," said Dr. O'Grady. "Once people get married, you know, Mr. Billing, it often happens generally in fact not necessarily twins, but more or less that kind of thing. I can quite understand Thady making the mistake. And the girl young Kerrigan's going to marry really is a grandniece of the General's. Thady was quite right there." "I'd like to see her," said Mr.
Billing's eyes moist with admiration. It was over at last. The aggressor went limping off, and Mr. Purnip, wiping his bald head, picked up his battered and dusty hat from the roadway and brushed it on his sleeve. He turned with a start and a blush to meet the delighted gaze of Mr. Billing. "I'm ashamed of myself," he murmured, brokenly "ashamed." "Ashamed!" exclaimed the amazed Mr. Billing.
And you can coördinate your directory work with the chief clerk at Files. You've got excess people here, Kirk. We don't need any of them." He looked at the desks and felt a wave of consternation. Kirk spread his hands. "But we have the information we need close at hand, sir. Our directory has been coming out on time, and in accurate condition. And our billing is well organized.
Billing, simply. He finished the evening in the Blue Lion, where he had one bar almost to himself, and, avoiding his wife's reproachful glance when he arrived home, procured some warm water and began to bathe his honourable scars. "Mr. Purnip 'as been round with another gentleman," said his wife. Mr. Billing said, "Oh!" "Very much upset they was, and 'ope you'll go and see them," she continued.
Here was no billing and cooing, certainly, but a terse, biting phraseology, about which there could be no misconception. By the same messenger the Queen also sent a formal letter to the States-General; the epistle 'mutatis mutandis' being also addressed to the state-council.
