'I'm not doing so, Henry whispered in reply. The box trembled. 'I say, old chap, don't hold the door. They want to get on with the trick.

The distant laughter grew immense and formidable.
And little Doxey of the P.A. came in, rather shabby and insinuating as usual, and obviously impressed by the magnificence of his surroundings. 'My good Doxey, exclaimed the chatelaine. 'How delicious of you to have found us out so soon! 'How d'you do, Doxey? said Henry, rising. 'Awfully good of you to see me! began Doxey, depositing his well-preserved hat on a chair.
Doxey stated that he was going on to the Alhambra to 'do' the celebrated Toscato, the inventor of the new vanishing trick, who made his first public appearance in England at nine forty-five that night. 'You didn't mind my introducing him to you? He's a decent little man in some ways, said Geraldine humbly, when they were alone again. 'Oh, of course not! Henry assured her.

Patrick loved his Doxey, and Doxey loved her Patrick, and together they made as precious a pair of beggars as ever played Gipsy music at a country fair. Most of the time they were at the home of the bride's parents not by invitation but they were there. The place was a wayside tavern. The girl made herself useful in the kitchen, and Patrick welcomed the traveler and tended bar.
Nothing like making a good start. 'Ass! thought Henry, and determined once again, and more decisively, that Doxey should pass out of his life. His preoccupation with this matter had the happy effect of preventing him from worrying too much about the perils which lay before Geraldine.

I told her, but she says he need n't think quotin' from poets is goin' to inspire faith in him in her very soon again.
