Davenport had, it seems, thrown some useless article of food out of this window; and Bruin supposed, no doubt, that Blackey did it out of compassionate feeling for a fellow denizen of the forest, and repeated his visits to obtain something more substantial, rubbing himself, to get rid of the mosquitoes, as it was his custom of an afternoon, against the rough logs of the dwelling.
I've no langer any wonder at his taking a' this trouble wi' the blackey bairn." "What is it, Bill? What have you learnt now?" asked Terrence and Harry, in a breath. "I've larnt why Colly could not eat his dinner yesterday." "Well, why was it?" "I've larnt that the nager's anger with Colly is all a pretince, an' that she is an old she-schemer."
"Just look at him, mamma, stretched out on the sofa there like he was a king!" Full flung and from a tufted leather couch Isadore Binswanger turned on his pillow, flashing his dark eyes and white teeth full upon her. "Go chase yourself, Blackey!" "Blackey! Let me just tell you, Mr. Smarty, that alongside of you I'm so blond I'm dizzy." "Come and give your big brother a French kiss, Blackey."
Tell me, Nell fury of hell, woman can it be possible no well I'll murder him, though; but can it be possible that she's guilty? eh? She wouldn't prosecute him No no she would not." "She is not worthy of you, blackey. Lord save us! Well, troth, I remimber whin you wor in Lord S 's, you were a fine young man of your color.
My husband says he does not want me to undertake to keep anybody who is apparently innocent, after my late sore experience. He says the old black lady is probably as bad already as she ever will be. If you find the blackey not disinclined to come to such poor folks, I will take her in September. I cannot well ask dear Mary to visit me while my Hyperion is cook and maid.
We cannot make a mistake. What shall it be?" "Death!" "String him up!" "Stretch 'm!" were the cries. But the crowd suddenly turned its attention to the river, and even Blackey refrained from his official task. A large raft, worked by a sweep at either end, was slipping past the tail of Split-up Island, close to the shore.
Still I felt sure of dodging the gang, and I tried to appear innocent as possible while the artless Blackey offered me liquor after liquor; and he remarked at about ten, "My missus orfen says to me, 'Why don't you fetch him home? she says. If he brings a bottle we'll find our lot, and he'll be just as jolly as he is at Billy Devine's. What say to come down to-night?"
I call him 'Blackey' because he always wears a mask of black velvet lest he should be recognized, only his eyes and mouth are ever visible." And with such comforting assurances she escorted Henrietta and Clementina up the narrow staircase. They had to pass through the long tap-room before they came to the inner parlour.
Others seem to take their monicas in part from the color-schemes stamped upon them at birth, such as: Chi Whitey, New Jersey Red, Boston Blackey, Seattle Browney, and Yellow Dick and Yellow Belly the last a Creole from Mississippi, who, I suspect, had his monica thrust upon him.
Tartarin gave two hundred francs, the donkey being worth about ten at least that is the current price in the Arab markets. Then poor Blackey was laid to rest at the root of a fig-tree, and the Alsatian, raised to joviality by the colour of the Tarascon ducats, invited the hero to have a quencher with him in his wine-shop, which stood only a few steps off on the edge of the highway.
