That's why I'm asking you to go on to Vienna and pose as Roxbury Medcroft while I steal back to London and set the charge under these demmed bloodsuckers. Really, you know, it's a terribly serious matter, Brock. It means fortune and honour to me, as well as millions to the rate-payers of Greater London.
"Zounds, my dear fellow," he added, smothering a slight yawn, "did you ever see such a beastly day? Demmed climate this." With a quaint little laugh, half of embarrassment and half of sarcasm, Marguerite had turned towards her husband, and was surveying him from head to foot, with an amused little twinkle in her merry blue eyes.
"But you, milor," stammered pere Lenegre, "and your friends ?" "La, man," retorted Blakeney lightly, "have I not told you before never to worry about me and my friends? We have more ways than one of giving the slip to this demmed government of yours. All you've got to think of is your wife and your daughter.
That demmed, elusive Pimpernel" Sir Percy's BON MOT had gone the round of the brilliant reception-rooms. The Prince was enchanted. He vowed that life without Blakeney would be but a dreary desert. Then, taking him by the arm, had led him to the card-room, and engaged him in a long game of hazard.
Don't you want it any longer?" "Certainly, sir. I wouldn't part from it." "Then why don't you come over and get it? Do you expect me to break the rule by coming over on to your land to hand it to you?" "I shouldn't call that trespassing, don't you know," began his lordship. "Ah? Nevertheless, if you want this watch you'll have to come over and get it." "By Jove, now, that's a demmed mean trick.
A mad, insane, senseless tragedy, with but one issue? the guillotine for you all." "The why did you come?" "To What shall I say, my friend?" rejoined Sir Percy Blakeny, with that inimitable drawl of his. "To give your demmed government something else to think about, whilst you are all busy running your heads into a noose." "What makes you think we are doing that?"
But I will help to get you all out of the demmed hole, when you have failed." "We'll not fail", asserted the other hotly. Sir Percy Blakeney went close up to his friend and placed his long, slender hand, with a touch of almost womanly tenderness upon the latter's shoulder. "Will you tell me your plans?" In a moment Deroulede was all fire and enthusiasm.
"It has not been thought advisable as yet," said the Minister, guardedly, "for England to break off diplomatic relations with France, and we cannot therefore refuse to receive with courtesy the agent she wishes to send to us." "Diplomatic relations be demmed, my lord!
"He's a demmed cad," Said his lordship conclusively. "Because he chucked your men into the river?" asked Penelope sweetly. "She's dooced pretty, eh?" whispered the duke to Mrs. De Peyton without taking his eyes from his young countrywoman's face. "Who?" asked Mrs. De Peyton. Then he relinquished his gaze and turned his monocle blankly upon the American beside him.
Whereupon the old man was silent, petite maman murmured a short prayer, and Rosette began to cry. The hero of a thousand gallant rescues had received his answer. "You, too, are on the black list, Pere Lenegre?" he asked quietly. The old man nodded. "How do you know?" queried the Englishman. "Through Jean Baptiste, milor." "Still that demmed concierge," muttered Sir Percy.
