There was no feature in it with which a man could have any right to find fault; that she was a 'doosed fine girl' was a fact generally admitted; but nevertheless you might look at her for four hours consecutively on a Monday evening, and yet on Tuesday you would not know her.
Now it certainly was the case that Dobbs Broughton would sometimes drink at improper hours. "What the devil are you doing here?" said Dobbs Broughton to his friend the artist. "You're always here. You're here a doosed sight more than I like." Husbands when they have been drinking are very apt to make mistakes as to the purport of the game.
I wanted him to water the horses, but I can't see him anywhere the infernal, crawling, doosed idiot!" ejaculated uncle Julius. "Never mind, uncle, let him have his holiday. I suppose he'd like to have time to spoon with his girl. I can easily water the horses." "That would suit Joe, I have no doubt; but I don't pay him to let you water the horses. I'll water 'em myself."
But when a gentleman is sur ses terres, he must give an example to the country people: and if I could turn a tune, I even think I should sing. The Duke of Saint David's, whom I have the honour of knowing, always sings in the country, and let me tell you, it has a doosed fine effect from the family pew. And you are somebody down here.
Of Undy's wife Alaric saw nothing and heard little, but it suited Undy to make use of his sister-in- law's house, and it suited Alaric to be intimate with Undy's sister-in-law. Moreover, had not Clementina Golightly L20,000, and was she not a 'doosed fine girl? This was nothing to Alaric now, and might not be considered to be much to Undy.
But at any rate it was clear that there was no room in his heart for the beauteous Clementina, 'doosed fine girl' as she undoubtedly was, and serviceable as the L20,000 most certainly would have been. On the morning after this conversation with Alaric, Charley left his lodgings with a heavy heart, and wended his way towards Mecklenburg Square.
"Talk, yes; they're talking a doosed sight, I should say. There's no mistake about the money, I suppose?" "Oh, none," said Archie, shaking his head vigorously. "Hugh managed all that for her, so I know it." "She don't lose any of it because she enters herself for running again, does she?" "Not a shilling. That's the beauty of it." "Was you ever sweet on her before?" "What! before Ongar took her?
When, in answer to this, Mrs. Clavering with considerable energy declared that anything of that kind would be a misfortune of which there seemed to be no chance whatever, he recovered himself as he thought very skilfully. "Oh, yes; of course; that's just what I meant; a doosed nice girl I think her; a doosed nice girl, all round."
As to Mr Merdle, he was so much wanted by the men in the City and the rest of those places, and was such a doosed extraordinary phenomenon in Buying and Banking and that, that Mr Sparkler doubted if the monetary system of the country would be able to spare him; though that his work was occasionally one too many for him, and that he would be all the better for a temporary shy at an entirely new scene and climate, Mr Sparkler did not conceal.
And this sort of work is very up-hill, generally, I take it unless, you know, a fellow has a fancy for it. If a fellow is really sweet on a girl, he likes it, I suppose." "She's a doosed handsome woman, you know, Doodles." "I don't know anything about it, except that I suppose Ongar wouldn't have taken her if she hadn't stood well on her pasterns, and had some breeding about her.
