'No matter, answered Nixon, 'none but a friend heard you. You cannot have forgotten how Redgauntlet disarmed you this morning. 'Why, I would bear no malice about that only he is so cursedly high and saucy, said Ewart. 'And then, said Nixon,'I know you for a true-hearted Protestant. 'That I am, by G , said Ewart. 'No, the Spaniards could never get my religion from me.
'Had I a heart for falsehood framed, it would ne'er have injured you' if I had not been so cursedly hard up! And indeed, now, if you would but condescend to forgive and forget, perhaps some day or other we may be Darby and Joan only, you see, just at this moment I am really not worthy of such a Joan. You know, of course, that I am a widower not inconsolable." "Yes; I read of Mrs.
It must have been about midday when I decided on a move. In a way I suppose it was a rash thing to do, but I had got so cursedly cramped and cold again that I felt if I didn't take some exercise I should never last out the day. Even as it was, my legs had lost practically all feeling, and for the first few steps I took I was staggering about like a drunkard.
It was I that dreamed I heard without comprehension the rest of the captain's tale: how he had come, after a quick passage from Ceylon, to Falmouth with the barque James and Elizabeth, just in time to hear of this monstrous lie; how he was unmarried, and never had a day's illness in his life; how, suspecting foul play, he had hired a horse and gig with a determination to drive over to Polkimbra and learn the truth; how a horse and gig were the most cursedly obstinate of created things; with much besides in the way of oaths and ejaculations.
'I SUPPOSE this letter will find thee picking of daisies, or smelling to a lock of hay, or passing away thy time in some innocent country diversion of the like nature. I have however orders from the club to summon thee up to town, being all of us cursedly afraid thou wilt not be able to relish our company, after thy conversations with Moll White and Will Wimble.
"I am haunted by the thought of that day and night, for if ever one man loved another I loved Richard. And yet if I hadn't been so cursedly keen about the horse all this might never have happened. Oh! if you only knew how often I've wished myself dead since that ghastly morning. You must hate me, Kitty. You've cause enough. Yet how the deuce could I foresee what would come about?"
"You hauled a little too late, sir," observed the first-lieutenant, who had joined him. "You must box her off, sir, if you please." But Captain Carrington, although he could put the ship in irons, did not know how to take her out. "The ship is certainly most cursedly out of trim," observed he; "she'll neither wear nor stay.
An angry and bitter pang shot across that portion of Mauleverer's frame which the earl thought fit, for want of another name, to call his heart. "How cursedly pleased she looks!" muttered he. "By Heaven! that stolen glance under the left eyelid, dropped as suddenly as it is raised; and he ha! how firmly he holds that little hand!
"But this much you have done before?" said I hoarsely. "Before? My dear Bunny, you offend me! Did it look like a first attempt? Of course I have done it before." "Often?" "Well no! Not often enough to destroy the charm, at all events; never, as a matter of fact, unless I'm cursedly hard up. Did you hear about the Thimbleby diamonds? Well, that was the last time and a poor lot of paste they were.
I have no particular liking for you, but I am afflicted with a cursedly sensitive disposition, and there are things which I find it hard to watch with equanimity. There is a train for England at nine o'clock this evening, Sir George. Take it!" Duncombe rose from his seat. "I am very much obliged to you," he said.
