Damer, who was already becoming rather tired; "but I'm sure he's a very honest man in trying to protect us from being robbed." "That he is," said Miss Dawkins. "What a delightful trait of national character it is to see these men so faithful to their employers." And then at last they got over the ferry, Mr.
"Are there more of the set?" said Lord Glenallan. "Two, my lord, one rising four, the other five off this grass, both very handsome." "Then let Dawkins bring them down to Monkbarns to-morrow," said the Earl "I hope Captain M'Intyre will accept them, if they are at all fit for service."
Dawkins had been the least bit wiser, it would have taken him six months befoar he lost his money; as it was, he was such a confunded ninny, that it took him a very short time to part with it. Dawkins, as I said, gev his party, dinner at 7. Mr. Blewitt and the two Mr. D.'s as befoar. Play begins at 11.
He strolled off on a tour of inspection. After a time he lighted upon the St Austin's Gym Instructor, whom he had not seen since they had parted that morning, the one on his way to the dressing-room, the other to the refreshment-bar for a modest quencher. 'Well, Mr Graham? 'Hullo, Dawkins. What time does this show start? Do you know when the middle-weights come on?
The Frenchman looked as though he did not quite understand her, but he said that it would be magnifique. "You have already made up your party I suppose, M. Delabordeau?" M. Delabordeau gave the names of two Frenchmen and one Englishman who were going with him. "Upon my word it is a great temptation to join you," said Miss Dawkins, "only for that horrid Englishman." "Vat, Mr. Stanley?"
Blewitt knew this too: and bein very fond of pidgin, intended to keep this one entirely to himself. It was amusin to see the Honrabble Halgernon manuvring to get this poor bird out of Blewitt's clause, who thought he had it safe. In fact, he'd brought Dawkins to these chambers for that very porpos, thinking to have him under his eye, and strip him at leisure.
I therefore sent Dawkins to them to make a bargain if he could, but on going back he saw most of the natives running off with spears in their hands, and could not make his object understood by those who remained.
He had never been here but once before, having met Duval elsewhere. "He's up in his room. John show the young gentleman up to No. 9. Won't you have a glass of something this evening?" "No," said Dawkins, abruptly. The boy preceded him up a dark and dirty staircase. "That's the room, sir," he said. "Stop a minute," said Dawkins, "he may not be in." He inwardly hoped he might not.
He knew how to play as well as to study, and his laugh on the playground was as merry as any. His cheerful, obliging disposition made him a favorite with his companions. Only George Dawkins held out; he had, for some reason, imbibed a dislike for Paul. Paul's industry was not without effect. He gradually gained position in his class.
Dawkins approached our hero menacingly, but Paul did not look in the least alarmed, and he concluded to attack him with words only. "I understand you have set yourself up as my rival!" he said, mockingly. "Not just yet," said Paul, "but in time I expect to be." "So you expect my place," said Dawkins, glancing about him. "We'll talk about that three months hence," said Paul.
