But maybe the chief reason is that I've some little skill of arms, so that the lad that questions me is apt to fare like Cosh." There was a kind of boastful sincerity about the man which convinced me. But his words put me in mind of my own business. "I came seeking you to ask help. Your friends have been making too free with my belongings.
They had each an umbrella, large and bulgy, and altogether were a pair of objects to whom no one would have lent a shilling. Cosh, whose attack on Nestie made him a social outcast, had declared himself a convert to natural science, and was sucking up to Byles, and two harmless little chaps, who thought that they would like to know something about flowers, made up the Botanical Society.
"Ernest Molyneux, yir father's a good man, and it does not matter two brass peens what Robert Cosh says about him, and ye're no an ill-disposed laddie yersel. Ye may go to your seat. "Peter McGuffie, ye're aye meddlin' wi' what doesna concern ye, and ye seem to think that Providence gave Nestie into yir chairge.
Cosh writes to them all most ardently every week sometimes oftener and Bobby Little, as he ploughs wearily through repeated demands for photographs, and touching protestations of lifelong affection, curses the verbose and susceptible youth with all his heart. But this mail brings him a gleam of comfort.
"Look what's in here, boys!" They thrust forward their heads and peered in at the recumbent form. "Honest to grandma it's old Patsy!" The voice of Big Medicine brought heads out all along down the car. "Come out uh that!" Four voices made up the chorus, and Patsy opened his eyes reluctantly. "Py cosh, I not cook chuck for you fellers ven I'm sick," he mumbled dazedly.
Hence we find traces of them also in the names of places, such as Churis, Chusares, upon the coast: and a river Chusa, and a city Cotta, together with a promontory, Cotis, in Mauritania, all denominated from Chus; who at different times, and by different people, was called Chus, Cuth, Cosh, and Cotis. The river Cusa is mentioned by Pliny, Lib. 5. c. 1. and by Ptolomy."
Such an one was the man Cosh, and that Teach, surnamed Blackbeard, of whom we hear too much to-day. But, on the whole, we of Virginia suffered not at all from these gentlemen of fortune, and piracy, though the common peril of the seas, entered but little into the estimation of the merchants.
Old Patsy knew a lot about sickness and wounds. "Py cosh, dot vos lucky for you, alreatty," he had pronounced. "So you don't git plood-poisonings, mit fever, you be all right pretty soon. You go to shleep, yet. If fix you oop till der dochtor he cooms. I seen fellers shot plumb through der middle off dem, und git yell. You ain't shot so bad. You go to shleep."
"Py cosh, I vould keel der fool vot made her first von of der automo-beels, yet!" he exclaimed unexpectedly, after a long silence, and cast his pipe vindictively toward his bunk in one corner. The Happy Family looked around at him, then understandingly at one another. "Same here, Patsy," Jack Bates agreed. "What they want of the damned things when the country's full uh good horses gits me."
Private Tosh says "Bonjourr!" in husky tones last week he would have said "Hey, Bella!" and proceeds to wash his hands in invisible soap and water. As a reward for his ingenuity he receives a basin of water: sometimes the water is even warm. Meanwhile Private Cosh, the linguist of the platoon, proffers twopence, and says: "Doolay ye unnerstand?"
