"You white-livered son of a sea-cook, you double-dyed, concentrated essence of a skunk," and at that moment young William pushed him and the two-nosed gentleman lurched forward, and bending his head to avoid contact with the clerk's face, it rested against the latter's bosom for a moment.
They swindle us, and pay their priests for absolution with our money. If you're a double-dyed sinner, you can easily get yourself whitewashed over there. Confound them! When that fellow sent no remittance last month, I told you I suspected him. Who was, the shrewdest then? As for pluck, I never failed in that yet. But, I will see a thing clear.
If you did, you'd realise that the best way to 'get on' in the usual way of worldly progress, is to make up to all sorts of social villains and double-dyed millionaire-scoundrels, find out all their tricks and their miserable little vices and pamper them, David! pamper them and flatter them up to the top of their bent till you've got them in your power and then then use them use them for everything you want.
"If you will say such things and then run into the dark corners," he muttered. But when Solomon appeared with a water-pitcher they were ready for him. "Now what has kept you all this time?" glared Glover, insincerely. "I couldn't find any ice-water." "Ice-water!" "Every pipe is froze solid, but I chopped up some ice and brought that." "Ice-water, you double-dyed idiot! Go get your candle."
Hortebise appeared utterly overwhelmed by this display of consternation, of which he was the innocent cause. "Your letters, madame," replied he with evident hesitation, "this double-dyed scoundrel declares he has in his possession." With a cry like that of a wounded lioness, the Countess, taking no notice of the doctor's presence, rushed from the room.
His resentment against this double-dyed villain rose to a fearful pitch; his color deepened-his eye shot fire, and, as he clenched his hand convulsively, Nogher saw the fury which this intelligence had excited in him. "No," he proceeded, "it would be an open sin an' shame to let such an etarnal limb of the devil escape."
Stanley; "and yet the idea of entering into a suit of this kind is very painful!" "If it be a conspiracy, there is no treatment too bad for those who have put the plot together!" exclaimed Harry. "What a double-dyed villain Clapp must be!" "He will end his career in the State-Prison," said Mr. Wyllys. "The Hubbards, too; that is another disagreeable part of the business," said Harry.
"I'm sorry for that," said Harkaway, "for it would have been a good thing to take care of that double-dyed traitor, but no matter, we shall have nothing to fear from him now; we have had enough of this place." "Are we, then, to leave Greece, dad?"
If we have not been playing double-dyed traitor to ourselves, we have a preponderating field artillery; our yeomanry and volunteer horsemen are becoming a serviceable cavalry arm; our infantry prove that their heterogeneous composition can be welded to a handy mass, and can stand fire and return it, and not be beaten by an acknowledged defeat.
All the good claims had been taken up and worked out by the earliest comers. There was much sickness in the mines, and men were dying like flies. A man was a fool ever to leave home but a double-dyed fool not to return there as soon as possible. Thus the army of the discouraged.
