Mother she means well, but but she's got a sorter curious way of showin' it. She's got a high sperrit, an' we'd ought to 'low fur it, and not take it so much to heart. Mis' Dimar here knows how high-sperrited people is sometimes, I dessay, an' mother she's got a powerful high sperrit." But the poor child only wept more hopelessly.
But she subdued it, because of the danger there was in him, and more, perhaps, because of the beauty of his head and his level drawn brows, which she could not bear to forfeit. 'That's more than I can say of you, she said. 'I've heard more harm than good about you. 'Ay, I dessay, he said, looking in the fire. It was a long time since he had seen the furze burning, he said to himself.
There's room enough for improvement, I dessay." Now, instead of his lordship sending the man to prison, as I thought to be sure he must do, he speaks to him as mild as a lamb, and tells him he commends his spirit, and actually asks him what he valued the flowers at. A Judge condescending to do that!
I dessay it'll wear off, all right; but oh, Mr. Bossom " "Would you mind callin' me Sam? It's more ushual." "Oh, Mr. Sam, this mornin' I'm feelin' it all over. If I got a pailful out o' the canal, now?" "I wouldn' recommend it not 'ereabouts." Sam, eyeing her with his head cocked slightly aside, spoke gently as one coaxing a victim of the drink habit.
"But she's tough, an' can't be got to believe things easy. She'll hold out till I turn up, I dessay, and when I present myself she'll say, `I know'd it!" "But to return to the cable," said Sam, with an apologetic smile. "Is there any great difference between it and the old ones?" "Not very much.
"Startin' so soon, Mas'r Harry!" he said quietly. "I thought you'd be in good time this morning." Then, paying not the slightest heed to my discontented looks, he knocked the ashes out of his pipe, shook himself together, and prepared to follow me. "But I don't want you with me, Tom," I said. "Dessay not, Mas'r Harry; but I'm a-coming all the same, and got my gun cleaned up ready."
"'E only wants to make you drunk at 'is expense. Dessay 'e'll stand you all a drink. Come up an' look at 'im. 'E don't bite." A square man, with remarkable eyes, entered at the head of six large bluejackets. Behind them gathered a contingent of hopeful free-drinkers. "'E's the only one I could get. Transferred to the Postulant six months back. I found 'im quite accidental." Mr. Wessels beamed.
You're not lost, I suppose? You knows your way home?" "Ugh!" the Indian grunted, taking a step nearer and glancing curiously at the plan. "Dessay you've got no savee fer what I'm tellin' you," Rube went on, signing a dismissal, "but I can't help that. You gotter quit, see? Go away. Make yerself scarce. Vamoose."
"You see," ses Charlie, "if I was robbed, which ain't at all likely, it 'ud only be me losing my own money; but if you was robbed of it you'd never forgive yourselves." "I dessay I should get over it," ses Mrs. Cook, sniffing. "I'd 'ave a try, at all events." Charlie started to laugh agin, and old Cook, who had struck another match, blew it out and waited till he'd finished.
Dessay, though, there's plenty up the Amazons. They'll do." "That's a comfort," said Brace, smiling in spite of his annoyance, for the man was as cool as he was imperturbable. "Is it?" he said. "Glad of it. Glad too that you young Englishmen are so enterprising. As a rule you're downright sleepy and leave nearly everything in the finding out way to us Amurricans.
