Blackey was a fair specimen of his tribe; they are often pleasant and plausible in a certain way, and it is really a pity that they cannot be forcibly drafted into the army, for they are always men of fine physique. They are vermin, if you like, but how admirably we protect them, and how convenient are the houses of call which we provide for them.
Next day we met very early. I had stayed out all night with some poachers, and I was in The Chequers by half-past seven in the morning. Master Blackey was there also, and we exchanged greetings. He was blotchy and his eyes seemed heavy; moreover, he was without a drink, and I correctly guessed that he had no money.
I can't abide living in a country where an honest man must toil a whole day for a mouthful of meat; it would never do for me. Down Blackey, down Judith, down dogs. Old boy, take the scalping-knife and skin the beast under the red oak."
Two circumstances contributed materially to immortalize this particular spring in my recollections: I then completed my tenth year, which I thought left me on the very threshold of womanhood, and we had two pet squirrels, who inhabited the locust trees in front of the house, with a tin cage to retire to at night one of whom we called "blackey," and the other "browney," from their different colors.
"Don't be too sure of that," replied Nell, gliding into the apartment "You can say little, blackey, or think little, avourneen, that I'll not know. As to who she is, you needn't ax she won't be long troublin' you; an' in regard to myself, I'm what you see me. "Where did you come from now, granny?" "From her room; she's sick that was what prevented her from meetin' Lamh Laudher."
Well, my lads and lasses, how are you all? Where's Blackey, who has stood near London Bridge these five-and-twenty years, with a painted skin to represent disease? Here he is, Mr. Field! How are you, Blackey? Jolly, sa! Not playing the fiddle to-night, Blackey? Not a night, sa! A sharp, smiling youth, the wit of the kitchen, interposes. He an't musical to-night, sir.
"Blackey knew what it meant, and, before a blow was struck, trembled from head to foot. Father cut across the back two smart blows, which proved so effectual a cure that she never troubled him afterward." "There is no animal more susceptible to kind treatment," remarked uncle Harry. "I imagine half the obstinacy and unruly conduct of some horses is the result of cruelty and mismanagement.
He never takes the trouble to show any deference towards his admirers; their amorous glances and giggling are inevitable tributes to his fascinations, and he takes it all as a matter of course. Like Blackey and the Ramper, Jerry never does any work, and he is supposed to have private means.
"Please do not ask it of me." "Then let me take you away. You cannot remain here." "I must," she answered, simply, and turned to St. Vincent, who seemed dreaming. Blackey was tying the hangman's knot in the rope's end, preparatory to slipping the noose over St. Vincent's head. "Kiss me, Gregory," she said, her hand on his arm.
It was creased and dripping, and before eating he opened it, carefully took out the papers, and spread them on the counter of the bar to dry. "You wouldn't guess there might be a fortune in these, would you, Blackey?" "Not Blackey! No negar-wool!" She shook her long black hair, and her blacker eyes glittered. "No Mexicano, no red squaw your woman."
