He could hardly have known of the two G's, from the sound; but the omission of the cross-bar from the one that was de rigueur was certainly a lapsus calami, and a serious one. The last syllable was merely phonetic, and unrecognisable; but the G that looked like a C was fatal.
"A few g's!" I cried in shuddering entreaty. "If you love me, a g' or two." "Well, I suppose so," said she. "You can't go ridin' without gees, can you?" Apparently one could go driving without any, but I did not pursue the subject. "It's only in stories that people are in love when they marry," observed Miss Phaeton reflectively. "Yes, and then it's generally with somebody else," said I.
And now I see they're the only cards you've got in your hand I don't want any more dealt out to me Hook up my little finger when I come to grips with a coffee-cup! No, thank you! I see myself doin' it or any other of the pussy-catisms you've been tryin' to unload on me. And you drop your 'g's' just as bad as I do.
Her talk was all in n's, g's and d's, and in mute e's strongly accented, as autré, théâtré, splendidé the last being an epithet she applied to everything the Capitol contained, and especially to a horrible picture representing the famous Clémence Isaure, the reputed foundress of the poetical contest, presiding on one of these occasions.
You do it with petrol and a small piece of flannel, and the result isn't bad, though somewhat streaky. G's part is to sit on my bed and watch me do it, assisted by Bella on the floor. It reminds me of the inhabitants of the Scilly Islands, who, it is said, earn a precarious livelihood by taking in each other's washings! Calcutta, Dec. 26.
Stebbins had shouted across the table: "never drops his 'g's, never slights his first syllable; says 'HUmor' with an accent on the 'HU. But for the fact that he pronounces 'bonnet' 'BUNNIT' and 'admires' a thing when he really ought only to 'like' it, you could never discover his codfish bringing up. Out with your wallets how much do you chip in?"
He was pacing up and down, his hands behind him. "There was a time in my life," he began at last "when I had er the regrettable habit of er using foul language, as your Uncle Jacko may have told you. Never filthy language! never that. I always swore like a gentleman. Chucked the d's and b's and g's about a bit too merry.
"There were no plays, no operas, no masquerades, no balls, no publick shews, except at the Little Theatre in the Hay Market, then known by the name of F g's scandal shop, because he frequently exhibited there certain drolls, or, more properly, invectives against the ministry; in doing which it appears extremely probable that he had two views; the one to get money, which he very much wanted, from such as delighted in low humour, and could not distinguish true satire from scurrility; and the other, in the hope of having some post given him by those he had abused, in order to silence his dramatick talent.
Naturally he would use a different hand." "Or he would wish to disguise it. It was likely he would so wish," further remarked the Judge. "You admit, then, that there is a difference?" argued the General, shrewdly. "But there is more than a disguise. The best disguise leaves certain unchangeable features. Some letters, capital G's, H's, and others, will betray themselves through the best disguise.
They have a castle there a castle, something like well, like the old Schloss at Heidelberg. Did you ever hear about or read about Heidelberg University?" But K. D. B. was all abroad now. Gibraltar and Heidelberg were unknown subjects to her, as were also inoculation, Japan, and Kosciusko. Above the G's she was sound; below that point her ignorance was benighted.
