'Yes, sir. 'Did you strike him first? 'Yes, sir. 'What with? 'A stool, sir. 'Hard? 'Middling, sir. 'Did it knock him down? 'He he fell, sir. 'Did you follow it up? Did you do anything further? 'Yes, sir. 'What did you do? 'Pounded him, sir. 'Pounded him? 'Yes, sir. 'Did you pound him much? that is, severely? 'One might call it that, sir, maybe. 'I'm deuced glad of it!
It seemed rather cruel to poor Guy, as he sauntered along towards his office, that the plans he had so easily made for the next fortnight's distraction, should be frustrated thus in a moment. It is so "deuced" hard for a conceited sensitive fellow to bear the taunts of his more free and independent companions, when he is forced to decline their invitation to "come along."
Hawbury stopped, and sighed. "I tell you what it is, Dacres," said he, "there never lived a nobler, more generous, and at the same time a braver soul than Ethel Orne. She never said a word about gratitude and all that, but there was a certain quiet look of devotion about her that gives me a deuced queer feeling now when I think of it all." "And I dare say But no matter." "What?"
"A deuced queer sort of thing this, too," said he, "this manuscript. I can't quite make it out. Who ever dreamed of people living at the South Pole and in a warm climate, too? Then it seems deuced odd, too, that we should pick up this copper cylinder with the manuscript. I hardly know what to think about it." Melick smiled. "Why, it isn't much to see through," said he.
Exactly the same name as poor "Cousin Jim" who disappeared. Did he remember her old playmate Jim? But her brother thought something else was a deuced sight more odd, namely, that this same Don Diego Fletcher was said to be very sweet on Clementina now, and was always in her company at the Ramirez.

"I don't object to telling you, old chap," he continued, "that I went in a little deeper than I intended. A good deal deeper, in fact. Miss Trevor is a deuced fine girl, and all that; but absolutely impossible. I forgot myself, and I confess I was pretty close to caught." "I congratulate you," I said gravely. "That's the point of it. I don't know that I'm out of the woods yet.
They're deuced good fair-weather friends but never stand by a fellow in distress!" "I have not much more to tell you," went on the Spaniard after those little reciprocities between him and the captain. "It was one morning that the French vessel abandoned me and the next that yours came to my help. Dios, I could not believe I was in my senses when I heard the voices of your officers!
'Afraid not eh-hh! very much afraid I shall not, Elfride. Piph-ph-ph! I can't bear even a handkerchief upon this deuced toe of mine, much less a stocking or slipper piph-ph-ph! There 'tis again! No, I shan't get up till to-morrow. 'Then I hope this London man won't come; for I don't know what I should do, papa. 'Well, it would be awkward, certainly.
I was at a big 'shine' last night at Miss Teazle's, and feasted my eyes on all Ottawa has to show in the way of female loveliness." "And you have come to spend the gush of your emotions consequent to such a feast on me, have you?" "No, Honor, I have not.
