Deuceace's character would conduce to my stepdaughter's happiness, and therefore REFUSE MY CONSENT. I will beg you to communicate the contents of this note to Mr. Deuceace; and implore you no more to touch upon a subject which you must be aware is deeply painful to me. "I remain your lordship's most humble servant, "Hang her ladyship!" says my master, "what care I for it?"
"Yes, sir," says I; and in he walks. I, in coars, with my ear to the keyhole, listning with all my mite. "Well," says Blewitt, "we maid a pretty good night of it, Mr. Deuceace. Yu've settled, I see, with Dawkins." "Settled!" says master. "Oh, yes yes I've settled with him." "Four thousand seven hundred, I think?" "About that yes."
Pray, Charles, say that Lady Crabs and I will be very happy to see Mr. and Mrs. Deuceace; and that they must excuse us receiving them en famille. Sit still, my blessing take things coolly. Have you got the box with the papers?" My lady pointed to a great green box the same from which she had taken the papers, when Deuceace fust saw them, and handed over to my lord a fine gold key.
It's a game where only 2 plays, and where, in coarse, when there's only 3, one looks on. Fust, they playd crown pints, and a pound the bett. Dawkins had won 2 pounds; Mr. Blewitt 30 shillings; the Honrabble Mr. Deuceace having lost 3L. l0s. After the devvle and the shampang the play was a little higher. Now it was pound pints, and five pound the bet.
Deuceace at onst, and held out her arms she had a heart, that old Kicksey, and I respect her for it. The poor hunchback flung herself into Miss's arms, with a kind of whooping screech, and kep there for some time, sobbing in quite a historical manner. I saw there was going to be a sean, and so, in cors, left the door ajar.
Year after year he quietly and modestly amassed money, and when at length that snug and complete bachelor's residence at No. 201, Curzon Street, May Fair, lately the residence of the Honourable Frederick Deuceace, gone abroad, with its rich and appropriate furniture by the first makers, was brought to the hammer, who should go in and purchase the lease and furniture of the house but Charles Raggles?
Deuceace: his jor dropt, he turned chocky white, and then burnin red, and looked as if a stror would knock him down. "My dear Mr. Blewitt," says my master, smilin and offring his hand, "how glad I am to see you. Mr. Dawkins and I were just talking about your pony! Pray sit down." Blewitt did; and now was the question, who should sit the other out; but law bless you! Mr.
"Perfectly you made love to her, and she was almost in love with you; you jilted her for money, she got a man to shoot your hand off in revenge: no more dice-boxes, now, Deuceace; no more sauter la coupe. I can't think how the deuce you will manage to live without them." "Your lordship is very kind; but I have given up play altogether," says Deuceace, looking mighty black and uneasy. "Oh, indeed!
"Well, sir, and has she not got it now? Has she spent it in a week?" Deuceace sunk down in a chair; and I never see such a dreadful picture of despair as there was in the face of that retchid man! he writhed, and nasht his teeth, he tore open his coat, and wriggled madly the stump of his left hand, until, fairly beat, he threw it over his livid pale face, and sinking backwards, fairly wept alowd.
Deuceace to grant him mercy. My master looked at him quite steddy. Blewitt slunk down, as misrabble as any man I ever see. As for Dawkins, heaven knows where he was! "Charles," says my master to me, about an hour afterwards, "I'm going to Paris; you may come, too, if you please." It was a singular proof of my master's modesty, that though he had won this andsome sum of Mr.
