'I will never break its heart, I will be a good boy, and never do so any more; I will never be naughty again; I beg its little pardon, said Mr Mantalini, dropping the handle of the mangle, and folding his palms together; 'it is all up with its handsome friend! He has gone to the demnition bow-wows. It will have pity? It will not scratch and claw, but pet and comfort? Oh, demmit!
Like to have you do it, but I guess we'll have to have a man to do the heavy lifting, I s'pose." "I s'pose not, sir! I am jest as able to yank a hawg as ever, sir; yes, sir, demmit demmit! Do you think I've got one foot in the grave?" Nevertheless, Daddy often failed to come to time on appointed days, and it was painful to hear him trying to explain, trying to make light of it all.
'I remember, said the gentleman, striking his nose with the knuckle of his forefinger as a chastening for his forgetfulness. 'Demmit, I remember what you come for. Step this way, Nickleby; my dear, will you follow me? Ha! ha! They all follow me, Nickleby; always did, demmit, always.
'She will not take poison, because she had a demd fine husband who might have married two countesses and a dowager 'Two countesses, interposed Madame. 'You told me one before! 'Two! cried Mantalini. 'Two demd fine women, real countesses and splendid fortunes, demmit. 'And why didn't you? asked Madame, playfully. 'Why didn't I! replied her husband.
"Fool of a fellow seemed infernally agitated, actually had a pistol ready for me, or so it seemed." "I noticed his desperate attitude also, and thought it very singular." "Demmit, yes, and what's more singular, I recognised the fool fellow for the fellow I thrashed two years ago at the 'Jolly Waggoner' Danby his name is." "Ah, to be sure!" I exclaimed. "I knew his face was familiar.
"I'm doing my best to show you that I haven't forgotten what I learned over at Stoneport, and to back up what I promised you and the commissioners after I gave you the tip as to what could be done with that hill. Much obliged to you for allowing me all the dynamite I need. But, demmit! I haven't got anybody with brains to help me handle it. It's notional stuff, sir. It hates a blasted fool."
His shrill laugh rang high above the rest at the table, as he said: "I'm the youngest man in this crowd, sir! Demmit, I bet a hat I c'n dance down any man in this crowd; yes, sir. The old man can do it yet." They all took sides in order to please him. "I'll bet he can," said Hugh McTurg; "I'll bet a dollar on Daddy."
'What a demnition long time you have kept me ringing at this confounded old cracked tea-kettle of a bell, every tinkle of which is enough to throw a strong man into blue convulsions, upon my life and soul, oh demmit, said Mr Mantalini to Newman Noggs, scraping his boots, as he spoke, on Ralph Nickleby's scraper. 'I didn't hear the bell more than once, replied Newman.
'Let me see the names, replied Ralph, impatiently extending his hand for the bills. 'Well! They are not sure, but they are safe enough. Do you consent to the terms, and will you take the money? I don't want you to do so. I would rather you didn't. 'Demmit, Nickleby, can't you began Mr Mantalini. 'No, replied Ralph, interrupting him. 'I can't.
"No, it is not," said Garrison heavily. "It is entirely my fault." The major heartily sighed his relief. "Eh, demmit, I said as much to your aunt, but she knows I'm an old sinner, and she has her doubts. I told her if you could neglect Sue for Dixie your love wasn't worth a rap. I knew there was something back of it. Well, you must go over to-night and straighten it out.
