We had our cab, and two riding horses; our banker's book, and a thousand pound for a balantz at Lafitt's; our club at the corner of the Rew Gramong; our share in a box at the oppras; our apartments, spacious and elygant; our swarries at court; our dinners at his excellency Lord Bobtail's and elsewhere. Thanks to poar Dawkins's five thousand pound, we were as complete gentlemen as any in Paris.
"'Stop, Brownie! he cried; 'let me look at this place! Surely I've been here before. That red curtain, that flower-stand in the window, that Oh! oh! there's my own little house! Why, Captain Bobtail's Brownie, you've brought me home! "Now, all this time Tufty's mistress had been in great trouble.
Bobtail's face being rather smutty, he washes it, and Rag's boots being rather tight, he puts them on at leisure, during which process he has time to smoke three pipes. Bobtail. Bub-bub-bub-bub ... whew ... pouf!... Rag. How many?"
"I did, my lord, in the presents of Mr. Brown, Lord Bobtail's man; who can swear to her having had it." I must tell you that my lord had made me read a paper which Lady Griffin had written, and which I was comishnd to give in the manner menshnd abuff. It ran to this effect:
Let us look in upon the Patchwork Quilt Society toward the close of this last afternoon. "I was sewing on this very block," Mollie Elliot is saying, leaning back in her chair to survey her work, "when Aunt Ruth was telling us how Captain Bobtail's Brownie brought Tufty home.
But Tufty moped for a day or two, and, as long as he lived, showed great excitement at the sight of a flock of sparrows; and it is my private opinion that, if a second opportunity had been given him, Kittie Grant's Tufty would have gone off for good and all with Captain Bobtail's Brownie."
A local pack will consist of Rag, Tag, and Bobtail, with all of Bobtail's friends and connections. One of them is known to be best and takes the lead. They call him the trailer. The rest rush yelping after, and as fast as possible follow the hunters, with torches or lanterns or by moonlight, carrying axes and hatchets, guns, and antidotes for snake-bite in flat, black bottles.
Captain Bobtail's Brownie, they call me, because Brownie is such a common name in our family. It's pleasant out-of-doors, isn't it? Oh, never mind the fuss over there! for Tufty's attention was constantly diverted to the scene of the quarrel 'they are always at it, scolding and fighting. Come, let's you and I have a good time! "'What is the fuss about? said Tufty.
It was a comfort to look at him. Efry old tabby and dowyger at my Lord Bobtail's turned up the wights of their i's when they spoke of him, and vowed they had never seen such a dear, daliteful, exlent young man. What a good son he must be, they said; and oh, what a good son-in-law! He had the pick of all the English gals at Paris before we had been there 3 months.
Was it not Bobtail's but another man's hand that was clutching his wrist? Thank Heaven, it was Bobtail's! There never was an occasion, before or after, I feel absolutely sure, when du Maurier was more truly glad to see me.
