I hope you don't mind my having made the remark? . . . Demmed bad form making remarks. . . . I hope you don't mind?" "No, no, not at all hem! I hope Lady Blakeney is well," said Chauvelin, hurriedly changing the topic of conversation.
"Just whichever you demmed well prefer, sir," rejoined Blakeney impatiently. And once more stretching out his long limbs, he buried his hands in the pockets of his breeches and apparently prepared himself for another quiet sleep. Chauvelin looked at him for a moment, vaguely wondering what to do next.
Britt, will explain matters to you after I have retired. He " "Your attorney? What does this mean?" gasped Deppingham, visions of blackmail in mind. "What's up, Britt? I deny every demmed word of it, whatever it is!" "Just a little private affair," murmured Britt, uncomfortably. "Private?" sniffed Miss Pelham, involuntarily rearranging her hat. "I think it has been quite public, Mr. Britt.
"At present we are but wasting our valuable time over so trifling a matter.... If you'll excuse me, sir... I am so demmed fatigued " "Then you will be glad to have everything settled quickly, I am sure." "Exactly, sir." Heron was taking no part ill the present conversation.
"As to anywhere, where I could sit more comfortably than on this demmed sill.... It must be very dusty, and I vow 'tis terribly hard..." "I presume, Sir Percy, that you did my colleague and myself the honour of listening to our conversation?"
Blakeney, not content with being the richest among my father's subjects, has also the most outrageous luck. By the way, where is that inimitable wit? I vow, Madam, that this life would be but a dreary desert without your smiles and his sallies." Supper had been extremely gay. All those present declared that never had Lady Blakeney been more adorable, nor that "demmed idiot" Sir Percy more amusing.
"La, friend Deroulede! you had not thought, I trust, that I would leave Mademoiselle Juliette in such a demmed, uncomfortable hole?" And there, close beside Deroulede and Juliette, stood the tall figure of the Jacobin orator, the bloodthirsty Citizen Lenoir.
Demmed miserable time I had out there. But this fellow fights. That's more than the beastly natives did when we were out there. Marching isn't fighting, you know." "Confound it, you forget the time " "Mon Dieu, are we to compare ze Hindoo harem wiz ze American feest slugger?" cried the count, with a wry face. "What's that?" demanded two noblemen in one voice. The count apologized for his English.
I have been in Paris but a few hours, and yet already I have realised that there is not one demmed citizen within its walls, who does not at this moment suspect some other demmed citizen of conniving at the Queen's escape. Even the sparrows on the house-tops are objects of suspicion. No figure wrapped in a mantle will from this day forth leave Paris unchallenged."
The sound caused the aristo to turn, and the next moment a loud and merry laugh roused the dormant echoes of the old chateau, whilst a pleasant, drawly voice said in English: "I am demmed if this is not my dear old friend M. Chambertin! Zounds, sir! who'd have thought of meeting you here?" Had a cannon suddenly exploded at Chauvelin's feet he would, I think, have felt less unnerved.
