'Think, said she, 'only think, Captain Scott, of all the money that this fete must cost. 'A doosed sight, said the captain, hardly articulating from under his thick, sandy-coloured moustache, which, growing downwards from his nose, looked like a heavy thatch put on to protect his mouth from the inclemency of the clouds above. 'A doosed sight, said the captain.
You pay taxes to have niggers educated, and made fit for such places and then won't let them fill them when they are pwepared to do so. I shall leave you, then, to tell them we can't take him. I'm doosed sowwy for it I like his looks." Whilst Mr. Western and his partner were discussing in one room, Charlie and Esther were awaiting with some anxiety their decision in the other.
"Well, yes, I believe I did get one;" and fumbling in his pocket, he succeeded in bringing to light that important document. This the chief took, and, without opening it, put it in his own pocket. "I'll take a luk at it prisintly," said he. "Perhaps ye can tell me about yer frind, the young man that's wid yez. Is he yer son?" "Son? Oh no; but he's a doosed fine young feller. His name's Rivers."
We were gazing out upon the vast ocean, you see; and a quotation from the poet ah a doosed odd sort of a thing, written by the poet what's his name? you know about an old salt that killed a wild goose, or some sort of a thing, and then had nothing to drink. I repeated the quotation, and both of the girls laughed: 'Water, water, all around, but not a drop of whiskey to drink."
Hugh believed in little but what he himself saw, and usually kept a very firm grasp upon his money. "That Madam Gordeloup is always with Julia," Archie said, trying the way, as it were, before he told his plan. "Of course she will help her brother's views." "I'm not so sure of that. Some of these foreign women ain't like other women at all. They go deeper a doosed sight deeper."
And his respect for the little woman rose a thousand per cent. "That's what she is," said Doodles, "and it's a doosed fine thing for you, you know! Of course you can make her safe, and that will be everything."
I call this doosed unhandsome treatment I do, going back on a feller like this!" "You audacious scoundrel!" roared the enraged young lord of Kingsland, "how dare you presume to answer me? How dare you stand there and look me in the face? If I called my servants and made them lash you outside the gates, I would only serve you right! You low-bred, impertinent ruffian, how dare you write to my wife?"
"I call it quite a tempting of Providence," said Doodles. But their conversation was chiefly about Lady Ongar and the Spy. It was only on this day that Doodles had learned that Archie had in truth offered his hand and been rejected, and Captain Clavering was surprised by the extent of his friend's sympathy. "It's a doosed disagreeable thing a very disagreeable thing indeed," said Doodles.
I don't care for quarrels in the parish, and so I shall let him know." "Upon my word she's a doosed good-looking little thing," said Archie, coming up to him, after having also shaken hands with her; "doosed good-looking, I call her." "I'm glad you think so," said Harry, dryly. "Let's see; where was it you picked her up? I did hear, but I forget."
She had always been good at talking, and he had paused for her to say something; but when she bowed to him in that stiff manner "doosed stiff she was; doosed stiff, and impudent, too," he told Doodles afterward he knew that he must go on himself. "Stuff and nonsense is the mischief, you know." Then she bowed again.
