Mr. Vandepeereboom entering with me into the State of his Affairs, proved, as far as Ledger and Cash-book could prove any thing, that he was in a most prosperous way of business, in the Dutch East India trade, of which by this time I knew something; so that, although Captain Blokes was loth to part with his old Shipmate and Secretary, he was yet glad to see me better myself. And in truth Mr.
At the corner of Vere Street Harry said to Tom and Blakeston: 'I say, you blokes, let's go an' 'ave another drink before closin' time. 'I don't mind, said Tom, 'after we've took the gals 'ome. 'Then we shan't 'ave time, it's just on closin' time now. answered Harry. 'Well, we can't leave 'em 'ere. 'Yus, you can, said Sally. 'No one'll run awy with us.
An' then I remembered 'ow often 'e'd tol' me things thet seemed too 'istorical for sich as 'im to come by honest, tales about blokes in 'istory nanecdotes 'e'd use to pass acrost about Admiral Nelson, or Queen Bess she use to make 'im chuckle, she did an' a chap called Shilly or Shally, 'oo was drownded.
Our crew, however, were continually Marrying while we were at Cork, to the great Merriment of Self and Captain Blokes, who had seen enough and to spare of that Game; but they would be Spliced, although they expected to sail immediately; among others, there was a Danish man coupled by a Romish Priest to an Irish woman, without understanding a word of each other's language, so that they were forced to use an Interpreter; yet I perceived this pair seemed more afflicted at separation than any of the rest.
In the hospital you were almost too clean; and you didn't do it yourself. That made all the difference. Yet it was the memory of the hospital that made him say, "I wish I could 'ave a bath." "So you shall," said Mr. Beale; "a reg'ler wash all over this very night. I always like a wash meself. Some blokes think it pays to be dirty. But it don't.
"Billy and I are very good friends," I said, somewhat taken aback, however, by the prospect of being consigned to that young gentleman's charge for several hours every day. "Here you are, Billy," said Jack, as the boy entered. "You needn't have brought your blacking-box with you, though." "What, ain't none of the blokes here got no boots, then?" remarked the youth, depositing his burden.
He left the sentence unfinished, but he must have looked the rest for Cockney fell into a terrible funk. "Ow, s' 'elp me, Hi didn't mean no trouble. Hit was the nyme 'e called 'e called me old mother hout o' 'er blinkin' nyme, that's wot! Hi didn't mean for to do it but me temper the wy the blighter's used us blokes hand the nyme on top o' that "
It was a conductor, I'd never try them blokes myself; they're too downy. 'Let's have a look at 'em, said Bob, after musing. 'I thought myself as they wasn't quite the reg'lar. As he spoke he softly turned the key in the door.
'I'll tell you what's wrong, said the man. 'To start with, you can't get at the dog to fix him except by day, when they let him out. At night he's shut up inside the house. And suppose you do fix him during the day what happens then? Either the bloke gets another before night, or else he sits up all night with a gun. It isn't like as if these blokes was ordinary blokes.
A slight softening of the frigidity of the constable's manner became noticeable. There was a milder beam in the eyes which gazed into Psmith's. Nor did the conductor seem altogether uninfluenced by the sight. He added that, when they reached the trem, the two gents had got aboard, and was then set upon by the blokes.
