Cuff's fight with Figs, and the unexpected issue of that contest, will long be remembered by every man who was educated at Dr. Swishtail's famous school. Swishtail's young gentlemen. His parent was a grocer in the city: and it was bruited abroad that he was admitted into Dr.
"Tell Sergeant Cuff," he rejoined, "that I say the discovery of the truth depends on the discovery of the person who pawned the Diamond. And let me hear what the Sergeant's experience says to that." So we parted. Early the next morning, I set forth for the little town of Dorking the place of Sergeant Cuff's retirement, as indicated to me by Betteredge.
"I'll give you the worst thrashing you ever had in your life," Dobbin said, in reply to the first part of Cuff's sentence; and little Osborne, gasping and in tears, looked up with wonder and incredulity at seeing this amazing champion put up suddenly to defend him: while Cuff's astonishment was scarcely less.
I wrote at once to quiet the old gentleman's mind, by telling him of Sergeant Cuff's visit: adding that Gooseberry was at that moment under examination; and promising to inform Mr. Bruff, either personally, or by letter, of whatever might occur later in the day.
How different would have been the case, however, had we not benefited by Dr Cuff's instructions, and had the example of Sills and Brown not been set before out eyes to warn us from eating the fish which so nearly killed them! At last one day, as I was running down from the top of the peak, I put my foot in a hole, and fell to the ground.
At the moment when I crossed the threshold of the door, I heard Sergeant Cuff's voice, asking where I was. He met me, as I returned into the room, and forced me to go back with him to the bedside. "Mr. Blake!" he said. "Look at the man's face. It is a face disguised and here's a proof of it!"
"Oh," says the Sergeant, "that's all you have to tell me, is it?" Sergeant Cuff's dismal eyes looked me hard in the face. "Mr. Betteredge," he said, "have you any objection to oblige me by shaking hands? I have taken an extraordinary liking to you." I showed Sergeant Cuff into my own room, and then called the servants together in the hall. Rosanna Spearman appeared among them, much as usual.
Begbie the gardener is to go to Dorking, and own that the Sergeant has beaten him at last." "It doesn't much matter," I said. "I must do without Sergeant Cuff's help. And I must trust to you, at starting." It is likely enough that I spoke rather carelessly. At any rate, Betteredge seemed to be piqued by something in the reply which I had just made to him. "You might trust to worse than me, Mr.
The two together had a curious effect on me as we went in to supper. I shook off Sergeant Cuff's arm, and, forgetting my manners, pushed by him through the door to make my own inquiries for myself. Samuel, the footman, was the first person I met in the passage. "Her ladyship is waiting to see you and Sergeant Cuff," he said, before I could put any questions to him.
And when in the winter horses and sleighs meant life or death to the doughboys, the peasants were true to their American soldier friends. After the fatal ambush of Lieutenant Cuff's patrol at Ust Padenga, "C" Company, was relieved about the first of December by Company "A." During the remainder of the month there was more or less activity on both sides of the line.
