This is young 'Arry Bobbery, already favourably known on the Indian Turf as an enterprising and successful defaulter. You will know 'Arry Bobbery, if you meet him, dear Vanity, by the peculiarly gracious way in which he forgives and forgets should you commit the indiscretion of lending him money.
"'Oh cuss him, it was him then was it? "'What, Sir? "'That woke them confounded rooks up, out o' their fust nap, and kick't up such a bobbery. Where is the Parson? "'Which one, Sir? "'The one that's so fond of fishing. "'Ain't up yet, Sir. "'Well, the old boy, that wore breeches. "Out on a sick visit to one of the cottages, Sir. "When he comes in, send him to me, I'm shockin' sick.
And so, sodger, if you conscientiously thinks thar has been walloping enough done on both sides, I'm jist the man to help you all out of the bobbery; though, cuss me, you might as well have cut me out of the beech without so much hard axing!"
To this military and matter-of-fact correspondence the auditors listened in silence. "Not much about that to stir up such a bobbery!" said the major, presently. "How did you hear about McLean's wanting to join the pursuit?" inquired Mr. Holmes. "Captain Terry seems to make rather slight mention of him and the other wounded.
"If that is the Kaiser's Christmas greeting to his loving followers," observed Wagstaffe drily, "I think he might safely have left it to us to deliver it!" "They say," interposed Bobby Little, "that the Kaiser is here himself." "How do you know?" "If that is true," said Wagstaffe, "they probably will attack. All this fuss and bobbery suggest something of the kind.
You may be sure that he will never allude to the matter again, but will rather wear a piquant do-it-again manner, like our irresistible little friend, Conny B . I don't believe, however, that Bobbery will ever become a Commander-in-Chief, though his distant cousin, Scindia, is a General, and though they talk of pawning the 'long-shore Governorship of Bombay to Sir Cursinjee Damtheboy. No.
I not able to speak, so I help myself, and not show my face. She not like dat and make a bobbery, but I lift up my cloak and show my black face and white teeth, and den she tink me de debil. She ran out of de house and I help myself very quick, and den set off and come close here yesterday morning.
The old woman again made her appearance, and asked us if we were going to take her sons. “If you dare do it,” said she, “I will prosecute the whole of you for breaking through my premises, and have you all put into gaol.” “Hold your tongue, mother,” said one of the men we had taken, “what’s the good of your kicking up such a bobbery about it? You only make it worse.
The lieutenants are good officers and pleasant messmates: the doctor is a little queer, and the purser thinks himself a wag; the master, an old north-countryman, who knows his duty, and takes his glass of grog. The midshipmen are a very genteel set of young men, and full of fun and frolic. I'll bet a wager there'll be a bobbery in the pig-sty before long, for they are ripe for mischief.
"Upon my word! It is always full of people." "What if it is?" "But... we shall be late. It's ten o'clock already." "You can't be too late to go there." "But I shall be late! They are expecting me back." "Well, let them; but it would be stupid of you to go to them. With all your bobbery I've had no dinner. And the later you go to Kirillov's the more sure you are to find him."
