'Damme, she ought to be glad to marry any one of us! he said, as he packed the cards and handed them to the others that each might shuffle them. 'If she is not, the worse for her! We'll put her on bread and water until she sees reason! 'D'you think Dunborough knew, Tommy? said Lord Almeric, grinning at the thought of his friend's disappointment. 'That she had the money?
You'll find a bird there, that's got their cry as pat as any of 'em, and bawls "No Popery," like a man or like a devil, as he says he is. I shouldn't wonder. The devil's loose in London somewhere. Damme if I wouldn't twist his neck round, on the chance, if I had MY way.
"I don't care, I know it was a man. I knew the face. I have seen it in madame's book of photographs." "The dooce you did." "Who was it?" "One of the brigands. The likeness was taken in prison." This made the gallant tars laugh again. "That's the natural bogey hereabouts," said Joe Basalt; "damme if I believe half their yarns about the brigands." "Nor I neither."
"'Tis the train of provisions," Edgar said. "We may as well go out and see the sight, and give such aid as we can to the council, for the famishing people may well be too eager to await the proper division of the food." In a few days there was an abundance of everything in Ghent, for Damme and Sluys opened their gates at once.
And long after Smathers and Petrie had left him, the wondering crowd had dispersed, and point duty at "Dead Man's Corner" was just point duty again and nothing more, P. C. Collins stood there, chewing the cud of bitter reflection over those words and trying to reckon up just how many pounds and how much glory had been lost to him. "But, damme, sir, the thing's an outrage!
I was raised on hard knocks, and now I must git my livin' by 'em. But I axes no'un's help, I'm that proud, anyways. I go my own road, and a straighter one, too, damme, than I git credit for, but I let other people go their'n. You might have wuss company than me, though I say it." These words hinted at an inward experience in some respects so surprisingly like his own, that Gilbert was startled.
As he came out of Great Russell Street, by gads life! the horse broke and ran out the Tottenham Court Road all the way to Hampstead. And the fiend picked out a big stone water trough and tossed Miller against it. Then they gathered up the fragments. Damme if I like to see suicide, Mr. Carvel. If Chartersea wants to kill you, let him try it in the fields behind Montagu House here."
Young Tom must himself have possessed unusual attractions, or a boldness in wooing which his son does not inherit, for at the end of a week he disturbed his father at his morning dram to inform him that he and Mistress Patricia had decided to get married. "Married!" cried the elder Stewart. "Why, damme, sir, do you know who the Wyeths are?"
The first words that reached his ears, were these: 'Why is he brought here then, if he has to be taken away again so soon? 'Why where would you have him go! Damme, he's not as safe anywhere as among the king's troops, is he? What WOULD you do with him?
And Flitter Bill muttered to himself: "Atter he's gone long enough fer these things to blow over, I'm going to bring him back and give him another chance yes, damme if I don't git him back." And Bill dropped his remorseful eye to the order in his hand.
