"No no!" answered Barrymaine, speaking in a thick, indistinct voice and rocking unsteadily upon his heels, "I'm not n-not drunk, only dev'lish sleepy!" and swaying to the wall he leaned there with head drooping. "Then you'd better lie down, Ronald."
Hall ought to be VERY fond of you then, sure enough!" said Mr. Corporal. "Very fond; ha, ha! Corporal, you wag you and so she IS very fond. Yesterday, after the knife-and-beer scene no wonder I threw the liquor in her face: it was so dev'lish flat that no gentleman could drink it: and I told her never to draw it till dinner-time " "Oh, it was enough to put an angel in a fury!" said Brock.
"Arthur in God's name in your father's, who, by Heavens, was the proudest man alive, and had the honor of the family always at heart in mine for the sake of a poor broken down old fellow, who has always been dev'lish fond of you don't fling this chance away I pray you, I beg you, I implore you, my dear, dear boy, don't fling this chance away. It's the making of you. You're sure to get on.
As far as a few pounds goes say five pounds I don't say and shall be most happy, and that sort of thing: and I'll give it you in the morning with pleasure: but but it's getting late, and I have made a railroad journey." "God's will be done, sir," said the poor woman, drying her tears. "I must bear my fate." "And a dev'lish hard one it is, and most sincerely I pity you, Mrs. Brixham.
"Sir," said Barnabas, "whom do you mean?" "Mean? ha! ha! oh damme, hark to that, Dig! Dev'lish witty I call that oh c-cursed rich! Whom do I mean? Why," cried Barrymaine, starting up from the couch, "whom should I mean but Gaunt! Gaunt! Gaunt!" and he shook his clenched fists passionately in the air.
Begad, let us be thankful," said the old fellow, with a shudder, "that we are out of the business, and leave it to those it concerns." "I hope to Heaven she'll tell him," said Pen. "Begad, she'll take her own course," said the old man. "Miss Amory is a dev'lish wide-awake girl, sir, and must play her own cards; and I'm doosid glad you are out of it doosid glad, begad. Who's this smoking?
"I like you, old boy," said the other. "I was dev'lish lonely in chambers, and wanted somebody, and the sight of your honest face somehow pleased me. I liked the way you laughed at Lowton that poor good little snob. And, in fine, the reason why I cannot tell but so it is, young 'un.
"It's you who are cruel to him," said the old moralist. "Why, sir, you'll ruin him yourself inevitably in three years." "Yes, but perhaps I won't have such dev'lish bad luck, you know; the luck must turn: and I'll reform, by Gad, I'll reform. And if you were to split on me, it would cut up my wife so; you know it would, most infernally."
"Yes, I'll lie down, dev'lish drowsy p-place lie down," mumbled Barrymaine, suiting the action to the word; yet after lying down full length, he must needs struggle up to his elbow again to blink at Mr. Chichester, heavy eyed and with one hand to his wrinkling brow. "Wha-what w-was it we came for? Oh y-yes I know Bev'ley, of course! You'll w-wake me when he c-comes?" "I'll wake you, Ronald."
Begad, you look dev'lish well and healthy, sir. I always said my brother Jack would bring the family right. You must go down into the west, and buy the old estate, sir. Nec tenui penna, hey? We'll rise again, sir rise again on the wing and, begad, I shouldn't be surprised that you will be a baronet before you die." His words smote Pen.
