The object of our going there was that the Bishop, in conjunction with Bishop Dealtry of Madras, and Bishop Smith of Victoria, should consecrate my husband Bishop of Labuan; but the Bishops had not reached Calcutta, and their arrival was uncertain.
And Peter Dealtry was the same as ever, only he seemed perhaps shorter and thinner than of old, as if Time did not so much break as wear mine host's slender person gradually away. The horseman gazed for a moment, but observing Peter return the gaze, he turned aside his head, and putting his horse into a canter, soon passed out of cognizance of the Spotted Dog.
I've seen the world, Master Dealtry; the world, and be damned to you! augh!" "Fie, neighbour, fie! What's the good of profaneness, evil speaking and slandering? 'Oaths are the debts your spendthrift soul must pay; All scores are chalked against the reckoning day. Just wait a bit, neighbour; wait till I light my pipe."
He is grave enough to suit you. He does not laugh very easily, I fancy." "After my heart? Stoops like a bow!" "Indeed he does look on the ground as he walks; when I think, I do the same. But what a marvellous man it is! I hear, that he reads the Psalms in Hebrew. He's very affable and meek-like for such a scholard." "Tell you what. Seen the world, Master Dealtry, and know a thing or two.
As they strolled into the village, they were met by Peter Dealtry, who was slowly riding home on a large ass which carried himself and his panniers to the neighbouring market in a more quiet and luxurious indolence of action than would the harsher motions of the equine species.

There an empty stomach asserted itself, and told him he was a fool. "Evening, Mr. Bast." "Evening, Mr. Dealtry." "Nice evening." "Evening." Mr.

His feeling were exceedingly wounded at this cavalier treatment before the very eyes of his wife too what an example! He thrust his hands deep into his breeches pockets, and strutting with a ferocious swagger towards the Traveller, he said: "Harkye, sirrah!
