The tall man awoke, came over and grasped the captain by the throat. "If you laugh again I'll kill you," he said. The captain gurgled and waved his legs and arms. "In the first place," the tall man continued, "you rescued us in a deucedly shabby manner. It makes me ill to think of it. I've a mind to mop you 'round just for that.
Imitate me. Let us say together that we are justly punished for having committed a horrible crime." "Bah!" roughly answered Laurent, "you can say what you please. I know you are deucedly clever and hypocritical. Weep, if that diverts you. But I must beg you not to worry me with your tears." "Ah!" said she, "you are bad. You reject remorse. You are cowardly. You acted as a traitor to Camille."
But she had done nothing of the sort. She was deucedly game now just as she had been the night of the smash. And by a queer trick of his mind her very gameness made Ted Holiday feel more quiet and responsible, a frame of mind he heartily resented. Hanged if he could see why it was his funeral! If that old Hottentot of a grandfather of hers chose to turn her out without a cent it wasn't his fault.
Still, a fellow who never did anything wrong in his life is rather uninteresting; don't you think so?" "Has he never done anything wrong? That seems rather incredible." "If he has, he has kept it deucedly close. But you are right; it is very incredible." They drove on for a while in silence.
Another grudge I have to settle with that bloody thief, when I unearth him." "After all, Dunbar, you are a deucedly lucky fellow, and Hello! historic Hebrew! Bedney, have you seen a ghost?" "Yes Mars Alfred two of 'em." Spent with fatigue, panting, with an ashen pallor on his leathery, wrinkled face, the old negro ran in to the office, and leaned heavily against the oak table.
Men like himself; men, too, like poor Evans, for instance, with his red face, his coal-black whiskers, and his restless eyes, who had set up the first patent slip for repairing small ships, on the edge of the forest, in a lonely bay three miles up the coast. Mr. Denham had encouraged that enterprise too, and yet somehow poor Evans had ended by dying at home deucedly hard up.
He spared no pains to show his personal esteem and to flatter their national pride; he spoke in the highest terms of the Austrian army and of the bravery it had displayed in the last campaign. He said to them: "You will always remain the first continental power, after France; you are deucedly strong.
There used to be all sorts of attempts on the part of low blighters to sneak him away from me. Young Reggie Foljambe to my certain knowledge offered him double what I was giving him, and Alistair Bingham-Reeves, who's got a valet who had been known to press his trousers sideways, used to look at him, when he came to see me, with a kind of glittering hungry eye which disturbed me deucedly.
"We were just going to ask you," retorted D'Artagnan. "Are we going to give ourselves up as prisoners?" cried Aramis, with an affection of hilarity. "Ah! ah!" said D'Artagnan; "it is true the walls smell deucedly like a prison. Monsieur de Baisemeaux, you know you invited me to sup with you the other day." "I?" cried Baisemeaux.
And it appears that Edward Ashburnham led the girl not up the straight allée that leads to the Casino, but in under the dark trees of the park. Edward Ashburnham told me all this in his final outburst. I have told you that, upon that occasion, he became deucedly vocal. I didn't pump him. I hadn't any motive. At that time I didn't in the least connect him with my wife.
