"A clean Post for Tuesday's Times!" bellowed one. "I want the Hurl! "Bell's Life for the Bull! The Spectator for the Sunday Times!" The approach of our sportsmen was the signal for a change of the chorus, and immediately Jorrocks was assailed with "A hunter! a hunter! crikey, a hunter! My eyes! there's a gamecock for you! Vot a beauty! Vere do you turn out to-day? Vere's the stag?
The Secretary, raging, rent it open, and found written inside it: "When the herring runs a mile, Let the Secretary smile; When the herring tries to fly, Let the Secretary die. Rustic Proverb." "Why the eternal crikey," began the Secretary, "did you let the man in? Do people commonly come to your Exhibition riding on mad elephants? Do " "Look!" shouted Syme suddenly. "Look over there!"
Then, still masticating, he executed a species of solemn war-dance in the middle of the floor. "Crikey!" he said aloud. "That means war, that do! Bloody war!" He snatched up a telescope and ran outside, still talking aloud to himself after the manner of men who live much alone. "I see a bloke an' 'is young woman along there this afternoon.
Butteridge and his lady, was rushing up into the sky at the pace of a racing motor-car. "My crikey!" said Bert; "here's a go!" He looked down with a pinched face at the receding beach, and reflected that he wasn't giddy; then he made a superficial survey of the cords and ropes about him with a vague idea of "doing something."
In the uncertain moonlight, I could just make out the mark of a great lump on his forehead, where the foot of the sail must have caught him when it knocked him over. As we stood there a moment, taking our breath, I caught the sound of the Second Mate's voice close beneath us. Williams glanced down; then he looked up at me and gave a short, grunting laugh. "Crikey!" he said. "What's up?"
'O crikey, yes! He looked across at Herrick with a toothless smile that was shocking in its savagery; and his ear caught apparently by the trivial expression he had used, broke into a piece of the chorus of a comic song which he must have heard twenty years before in London: meaningless gibberish that, in that hour and place, seemed hateful as a blasphemy: 'Hikey, pikey, crikey, fikey, chillingawallaba dory.
So they waved more and more wildly, and Robert's tea-cloth caught the golden egg and whisked it off the mantelpiece, and it fell into the fender and rolled under the grate. 'Oh, crikey! said more than one voice. And every one instantly fell down flat on its front to look under the grate, and there lay the egg, glowing in a nest of hot ashes.
Now when my senses were full of her, it seemed incredible that I could ever have forgotten.... "Oh, Crikey!" said my aunt, reading a letter behind her coffee-machine. "HERE'S a young woman, George!" We were breakfasting together in the big window bay at Lady Grove that looks upon the iris beds; my uncle was in London. I sounded an interrogative note and decapitated an egg.
'I was just going to ask you that, said Jane. And then Cyril cried: 'Why, it's YOU! I know the hole in your pinafore! You ARE Jane, aren't you? And you're the Panther; I can see your dirty handkerchief that you forgot to change after you'd cut your thumb! Crikey! The wish has come off, after all. I say, am I as handsome as you are?
Out of the envelope I took the map that had been so closely connected with the history of Doubloon Spit. When I say the men were surprised, I do them less than justice. One could have knocked their eyes off with a stick. "Crikey! I didn't know that was there," Jimmie cried.
