"Less likly nor ony man aboot the place," bawled Donal, half angry with his mistress for calling his friend dummie. "Gibbie kens better what he's aboot nor ony twa 'at thinks him a fule 'cause he canna lat oot sic stuff an' nonsense as they canna haud in." Jean went back to the kitchen, only half reassured concerning her brownie, and far from contented with his absence.
On the other side of the bed stood a little boy of about three years old, dressed as if belonging to the better classes, although the garb was somewhat tattered and discoloured. The poor child trembled violently, and evidently looked with a feeling of relief on the entrance of Dummie.
Artfully again did Dummie Dunnaker, nothing defeated, renew his attack; but fortune does not always favour the wise, and it failed Dummie now, for a twofold reason, first, because it was not possible for the dame to comprehend him; secondly, because even if it had been, she had nothing to reveal.

"To be sure and sartin I does," answered little Dummie, walking to the table where the robber sat. "Does not you know I?" Ned regarded the interrogator with a sullen glance, which gradually brightened into knowledge. "Ah!" said he, with the air of a Brummel, "Mr. Bummie, or Dummie, I think, eh! Shake a paw, I'm glad to see you. Recollect the last time I saw you, you rather affronted me.
"Great news! great news!" cried the urchin, imitating his vociferous originals in the street; "all about the famous Captain Lovett, as large as life!" "'Old your blarney, you blattergowl!" said Dummie, rebukingly, and seizing the journal. "Master says as how he must have it to send to Clapham, and can't spare it for more than a 'our!" said the boy, as he withdrew.
They want to do away with all distinctions in ranks, to make a duke no better than his valet, and a gentleman highwayman class with a filcher of fogles. But, damme, if I don't think misfortune levels us all quite enough; and misfortune brings me here, little Dummie." "Ah! you vants to keep out of the vay of the bulkies!" "Right.
"The werry same!" returned Dummie. The dame turned in her chair and refilled her pipe. It was evident from her manner that Mr. Dunnaker's suggestion had made an impression on her. But she recognized two doubts as to its feasibility: one, whether the gentleman proposed would be adequate to the task; the other, whether he would be willing to undertake it.
Dummie obeyed; and the woman, as she in a low tone uttered something about the unbecoming colour of the ribbons, adjusted the cap on her head, and then, saying in a regretful and petulant voice, "Why should they have cut off my hair? Such a disfigurement!" bade Dummie desire Mrs. Margery once more to ascend to her.
And how's poor Judy?" "Fearsome! she'll not be over the night, I'm a thinking." "Vell, I'll track up the dancers!" So saying, Dummie ascended a doorless staircase, across the entrance of which a blanket, stretched angularly from the wall to the chimney, afforded a kind of screen; and presently he stood within a chamber which the dark and painful genius of Crabbe might have delighted to portray.
