It either intoxicated or stupefied me; and I do think it overpowers one much sooner than so much wine would. The conversation now turned on many other different subjects. At last, when morning drew near, Mr. Maud suddenly exclaimed, "D-n me, I must read prayers this morning at All-Souls!"
"You ain't a d-n fool, anyway," he declared. "I'm beginning to think I am," said Austen. "Then you've got sense enough to know it," retorted old Tom. "Most of 'em haven't." And his glance, as it fell upon the younger man, was almost approving. Young Tom's was distinctly so. "I told you Austen was the only lawyer who'd talk common sense to you," he said.
"I am glad of it!" said Preston, savagely. "Why shouldn't he be wounded, when his betters are? Is he badly off?" I simply could not answer at the minute. "How's he wounded?" "I do not know." "You don't know! when you were attending to him. Then he hasn't lost a leg or an arm, I suppose? You would know that." "No." "D-n him!" said Preston.
"They be drunk as lords," said Weld, the butcher's apprentice, "and when they comes out we'll hev more than one broken head in this street." The songs continuing, he cried again, "Come out, d-n ye." Weld had had more than his own portion of rum that day. Spying me seated on the gate-post opposite, he shouted: "So ho, Master Carvel, the streets are not for his Majesty's supporters to-day."
Snivel having helped himself to a cigar, says: "D-n me, if she didn't faint in my arms last night. I made a discovery that brought something of deep interest back to her mind, and gave her timbers such a shock! I watched, and read the whole story in her emotions. One accustomed to the sharps of the legal profession can do this sort of thing.
D-n it, you have gone through enough of this kind of life to be accustomed to it. We think nothing of these things, in Charleston-bless you, nothing! Keep the Judge your friend-his position may give him a means to serve you. A man of the world ought at all times to have the private friendship of as many judges as he can." "Never! poor as I am-outcast as I feel myself! I want no such friendship.
As I was going away the waiter, who had served me with so very ill a grace, placed himself on the stairs and said, "Pray remember the waiter." I gave him three halfpence, on which he saluted me with the heartiest "G-d d-n you, sir!" I had ever heard. At the door stood the cross maid, who also accosted me with, "Pray remember the chambermaid."
The Borderer lost not a moment in taking his resolution, and boldly trotted against his enemies in front, who called loudly on him to stand and deliver; Charlie spurred on, and presented his pistol. "D-n your pistol," cried the foremost robber; whom Charlie to his dying day protested he believed to have been the landlord of Mumps's Ha'. "D-n your pistol care not a curse for it."
Heseltine-Wrigge, said only one word, but that word was profane. "I am sorry, of course, that you have lost the business," Peter concluded, "but surely it's better than losing your money?" Mr. Heseltine-Wrigge struck the table fiercely with his fist. There was a gray and unfamiliar look about his face. "D-n it, the money's gone!" he declared, hoarsely. "They changed the day. Kosuth had to go back.
"The same, as near as I can make out," answered the Prince; "unadulterated laziness." The President started. "D-n it," said he, "you must have something better than that." "I have no more money," added Florizel. "That is also a vexation, without doubt. It brings my sense of idleness to an acute point."
