"No, you don't. No, you certain sure don't. Because you looked pretty and a bit coaxing I gave up Miss Dunstable and the Dook of Mauleverer-Wolverhampton two hours ago, but not another minute will I spare from them. It's in their select society that I spend my haristocratic evening." Verena knew that it would be useless to coax Betty any further.
"That's a very fine pair in the break yonder, if you want anything showy for a mail-phaeton. They've been exercising in the park. All blood, sir, and not an ounce too much bone. A pair of hosses that would do credit to a dook." Reginald asked to see Mr. Spavin's hunters, and the grooms and keepers were soon busy trotting out noble-looking creatures for the inspection of the three gentlemen.
"Get up! get up yourself; where are you? where is your Here, there, bebee, here's the door; there, make haste, they are coming." "He'll get up yet," said Mrs. Herne, recovering her breath; "the dook tells me so." "Never mind him or the dook; he is drabbed; come away, or we shall be grabbed both of us." "One more blow, I know where his head lies."
"Na, na, lads," cried John Watt, rolling up his sleeves, and baring his brawny arms as if about to engage in a fight, "it'll raver do to interfere wi' the law; but what d'ye say to gie them anither dook?"
Well, when the last night come I lay me down to sleep as peaceful as an angel, and I folded my hands and shut my eyes, and wondered what his beautiful name would be, and if he'd be a dook or a marquis. I incline to a dook myself, having, so to speak, fallen in love with the Dook of Mauleverer-Wolverhampton of blessed memory. But what do you think happened? It's enough to cure a body, that it is."
He wore a corporal's stripes and a British aviator's fatigue cap. Cohan made room for him on the bench. "What are you doing in this hole, Dook?" The man twisted his mouth so that his neat black mustache was a slant. "G. O. 42," he said. "Battle of Paris?" said Cohan in a sympathetic voice. "Battle of Nice! I'm going back to my section soon.
"After some conversation he said he thought I certainly ought to try for your situation, and that if I succeeded to come and let him know, and he would see about the character without troubling the Dook. "As you know, sir, you were good enough to entertain my application, and I then went straight away to Mr. Saumarez to ask him what I was to do.
The sergeant blew a cloud of smoke. "Oo-oo-oo, yer," he said; "I did, sir spotted 'im, I did. Feeflee good at spottin', I am, sir. Dook of Connaught, he used to say, ''Ere comes Sergeant Collard, he used to say, ''e's feeflee good at spottin'." "What did you do?" "Do? Oo-oo-oo! I shouts 'Oo-oo-oo yer, yer young monkey, what yer doin' there?" "Yes?"
What if we was to take the road a bit, mate where there's room to stretch a chap's legs without kickin' a dog or knockin' the crockery over? There's the ole pram up-stairs in the back room as lively as ever she was only wants a little of paint to be fit for a dook, she does. An' 'ere's me, an' 'ere's you, an' 'ere's the pick of the dogs.
"You, turned fifteen year old, and been back'ard and forrud 'twixt Hardway and the Gosport shore for a matter of five years or more, and not for to know and read a common signal like that, which you must 'a seed run up at the semaphore or on board the Dook a hundred times at least. Lor'! I'm jest 'shamed of you, that's what I be!"
