"His excellency " began the page, when Jarvis snatched the shoes from his hand and hurled them to the other end of the shop. His white beard positively bristled. "Tell his excellency," he shouted, "to go to the devil, with my compliments!" So positively ferocious was his aspect that the boy, with upraised arm, backed hastily out into the street. Safety won: "Blimey!" exclaimed the youth.
The wounded man peered at him and then at his cap badge. "Now 'oo the blank is this?" he demanded. "Blimey, Joe, if 'ere ain't a blooming Universal Plum-an'-Apple Provider. 'Ere, 'oo stole the strawberry jam?" "You let me in on this ball game," said Rawbon. "Light 'em and pass 'em quick, and see me put the Indian sign on that bunch."
"Hullo, Bill!" replied the invisible 'Pidgin. "Allee samee dlunk again!" A red-bearded ship's fireman, wearing sea-boots, a rough blue suit similar to that which Stuart wore, a muffler and a peaked cap, lurched into view at the head of the steps. "Blimey!" he roared, over his shoulder. "Drunk! Me drunk! An' all the pubs in these parts sell barley-water coloured brown! Blimey! Chuck it, Pidgin!"
"Niver a word about it 'ave I breathed to a livin' soul till this day," wailed Mrs Yabsley, mopping her eyes with her apron. "Rye buck!" said Jonah. "'Ere goes! I'll find it, if the blimey house falls down. Gimme that axe." The floor-boards cracked and split as he ripped them up. Small beetles and insects, surprised by the light, scrambled with desperate haste into safety.
As he turned, the light of a neighboring lamp shone down upon the savage face, and a smothered yell came from the shorter ruffian: "Blimey, Bill! It's Red Kerry!" Whereupon, as men pursued by devils, the pair made off like the wind! Kerry glared after the retreating figures for a moment, and a grin of fierce satisfaction revealed his gleaming teeth.
To be misunderstood in the circles in which Mr. Buffin moved meant something more than the mere risk of being treated with cold displeasure. He began to explain with feverish eagerness. "Strike me, Sid," he stammered, "it ain't like that. It's all right. Blimey, you don't fink I'm a nark?" Mr. Marks chewed a straw in silence. "I'm layin' for him, Sid," babbled Mr. Buffin. "That's true.
But outside, Adrian Conrad passed carelessly along the line of sullen men and led up the bank and through the woods to the standing train. And not a knife showed. Torrance and Murphy and the train crew watched the line file from the cook-house and up the path. "'Blimey! as me friend, 'Uggins, o' Whitechapel, would say," exclaimed Murphy. "And then some!" Torrance only rubbed his hands.
"Tell the truth abaht that big fat 'ed starting the row to the police, and I'll pay for the smash," said the little Jew. "And while we're waiting for the police let's have a drink," he continued. "Here's your health, guv'nor; blimey, but you're a bit useful in a scrap!" By this time the police were pounding at the door. "My money my money!" again pleaded the bar-keeper.
"Then push it 'ere, an' likewise them bloomin' 'igh-falutin' lar-de-dar giddy fag-papers you fumble wiv'. Blimey! ain't a honest clay good enough for yer now? I knows wots the matter wiv you, Billy Jones! You've got a weather-heye on the Quarter Deck you 'ave. You fink you're agoin' to be a blighted perishin' orficer you do!
Couldn't make it out when we saw all the signs in English. I says to a chap, as we was walking along, ''I, I says, 'is this Boolone? 'Naow, 'e says, 'it's Ireland." "And what did you say?" said Henry. "I said 'Blimey!" He moved to the kerb as the soldier further along the street called "Pass these men along" and when he had called the warning to the next soldier, he returned to Henry.
