I sat down, and cut up a cigar for my pipe. The situation did not please me at all. The more I thought it over, the more I remembered how uncertain Haigh was, and how likely he was to bring about some fiasco out of sheer devilry. If I'd had a boat I should have cut ashore there and then, and made off to Talaiti de Talt without delaying a single moment.
I'm a man of peace, sir, but I'd horsewhip any man who dared to say to my face that Anna Pendennis was a woman who lent herself to that devilry, or any other of the kind yes, I'd do that even now, after the lapse of twenty-five years!" "I know," I said huskily. "That's just how I feel about Anne. She must be very like her mother!"
It may have been some story of the Middle Ages which had come back to my mind, or it may have been that my eye had caught some red which was not that of rust upon the upper part of the lock, but to him and to me it will always seem an inspiration, so prompt and sudden was my action. "There's devilry here," said I. "Give me the crooked stick from the corner."
It was to her that Mary was still mainly indebted for news of what was going on. If there was any devilry afoot she would send a certain bottle to the Mission House with a request for medicine. It was a secret warning that she was to be ready to act at a moment's notice. As a result of these hints she was able to prevent many a terrible crime.
"Come on, Petrie!" he snapped. "There's some devilry here." Thrusting Beeton aside he rushed in at the open door upon which, as I followed him, I had time to note the number, 14a. It communicated with a suite of rooms almost identical with our own.
James was trying to browbeat him over them. 'No. I expect she went out with you. Hazel fled to the back of the house, but Foxy was not there. She whistled, but no smooth, white-bibbed personality came trotting round the corner. Hazel ran back to the hill. The sound of the horn came up intermittently with tuneful devilry. She whistled again.
"Did he work for the King of Prussia?" inquired a Boeotian of a second clerk. "He must have vamped up his prose," said a third. "That man is colossal!" cried the fourth, pointing to the Teuton. That gentleman, though a demonologist of the first rank, did not know the amount of devilry to be found in a notary's clerk.
And ne'er a bone broke, ne're a scrat on her body a pin could mak'. As healthy as a mon and yet dead as mutton!" *N.B. Stout Hearty. Jim, still trembling from the horror of his fear, came up, and knelt beside his friend. "Ah, but there's bin devilry in this!" he said; "I reck'ned they sheep had bin badly skeared, and not so long agone." "Sheep-murder, sure enough!" the other answered.
Some one the Rajah's heir who had been at Harrow, probably sent over for the regimental doctor, who happened to be Gillespie. He found all sorts of devilry going on while the Rajah writhed and turned black and green. Gillespie took him in hand I heard his treatment was nearly as weird as that of the native doctors.
There is a race of men at Malacca, who appear to be the descendants of some natives of Malabar who settled there a century ago, and Malay women; a bad breed certainly, and the men I speak of seem to possess all the devilry of both races. Numbers of them visit Singapore from time to time, bringing among other things, thousands of the Malacca canes which are so much esteemed in England.
