Anne, you have seen it, I am sure." They scanned the doll eagerly. The shabby black suit was made of some indescribable material that might have come from anywhere. The red velveteen waistcoat they had already identified. Then came a little white cotton dickey, with a high standing collar and then "The tie!" cried Nora. "The green tie! Is that it, Jessica?" "You are right," answered Jessica.
There is now a hospital ship provided, to which they are removed, and good attention paid." A Boston paper dated September 2nd, 1779, has the following: "Returned to this port Alexander Dickey, Commissary of Prisoners, from New York, with a cartel, having on board 180 American prisoners. Their countenances indicate that they have undergone every conceivable inhumanity."
The highwayman glanced over it, saw it was written according to form, and then with a bow of cool respect, returned the watch, and shut the door of the carriage. Meanwhile the servant had been shivering in front, boxed up in that solitary convenience termed, not euphoniously, a dickey. Him the robber now briefly accosted. "What have you got about you belonging to your master?"
I tell you, Phil, she is something worth looking at forever," said Lord Bob. "I never saw such eyes, such a complexion, such hair, such a carriage," cried Lady Frances. "Has she any teeth?" asked Dickey, and was properly frowned upon by Lady Jane. "You describe her as completely in that sentence, Lady Frances, as a novelist could in eight pages," said Quentin.
"But I have a er sort of an engagement," remonstrated Quentin, reluctantly. The duke gave him a sharp look. "Do not be afraid," he said, laughing easily. "We will not permit the dancing girls to harm you." "He's not afraid of girls," interposed Dickey. "Girls are his long suit. You didn't tell me you had an engagement?" Quentin gave him a withering look.
Now, he must rush the wedding. Dickey Bulmer's Lancashire canniness might stipulate for cash on delivery as the essence of the marriage contract. Not a penny would the old miser part with until he was sure of the girl. So David Verity, having much to occupy his mind, lingered over the second glass of port, for this was a Sunday dinner, served at mid-day.
He was jet black, with white paws and dickey, and he had as much dignity as ten cats. Jims' fingers tingled to stroke him. Jims had never been allowed to have even a kitten because Aunt Augusta had a horror of cats. And you cannot stroke gobblers!
"Very well, mes Americains; we will not implore you longer," responded the count, carelessly. "May your evening be as pleasant as ours." The two Italians bowed deeply, linked arms and strolled away. "Say, those fellows know you haven't an engagement," exclaimed Savage, wrathfully. "What sort of an ass are you?" "See here, Dickey, you've still got something to learn in this world.
Master Spry was leaning against a lamp-post in an attitude of deepest dejection, looking down into the gutter as if he expected to see there some help arise to aid him in his evident trouble. Now Dickey Spry was the founder of the house in which Ben and Johnny took so much pride.
Marble, totally without credit or means, found it impossible to obtain a craft of any sort to go to the wreck in. We were without money, too, and, a homeward-bound Calcutta vessel coming in, we joined her to work our passages home, Mr. Marble as dickey, and the rest of us in the forecastle. This vessel was called the Tigris, and belonged to Philadelphia.
