Well, they told me the old gal's clothes could easily be spoiled, and her doll's face and all, with a penn'orth of vitriol." "The monsters!" "But it was all brag. These things are threatened fifty times, for once they are done." "I shall not risk it. My own skin, if you like. But not hers: never, Mr. Cheetham: oh, never; never!" "Well, but," said Mr.
"Because, if you ever do look at him steadily, you'll see care a-sittin' wery heavy on his long yeller face. There's somethin' the matter with that Count, either in 'is head or 'is stummick, I ain't sure which; but, whichever it is, it has descended to his darter, for that gal's face is too anxious by half for such a young and pretty one.
"Shut your mouth, boy, till I give you leave to open it. Do you hear? the gal's ten thousand dollars must be put ag'inst the ten thousand you've saved off the profits o' the farm; then, the rest you've made bein' properly accounted for, he must come down with the same amount. Then, you must find out to a hair what he's worth of his own not that it concerns you, but I must know.
If your Lammles or your Lightwoods had got at him anyhow, they would have asked him the question whether he hadn't something to do with that gal's disappearance. I knew a better way of going to work. Having got behind the hedge, and put him in the light, I took a shot at him and brought him down plump. Oh! It don't count for much, being a Jew, in a match against ME!
What do you mean by insinivatin' to the pore gal's conflicted mother as she p'raps ain't buried at all? You're a-makin' me cry ag'in. She lays comfable enough underneath a lot of other coffins, in the pauper part of the New North Cimingtary. 'Underneath a lot of others; how can that be? 'What! ain't you toffs never seed a pauper finneral?
She had married a man of the name of Carline, real rich and a big bug. "But my gal's got the looks, yes, indeed!" If I find her, I must be sure and tell her to write to her folks river romance! Nelia's face warmed as she read those phrases as well it might. She wondered what other things he had written in his book of notes, and her eye caught a page: House boatmen are a bad lot.
God bless her, did 'e look 'ow she flickered up when she seed faither's flags a flyin'?" "Theer's a right way an' a wrong o' doin' weddin's, Sarah, an' 'tedn' a question whether a gal's better pleased or no.
"Oh, it isn't at all necessary; I can do my own courting," Alfred replied, as he wiped his razor and laid it away. "Do it, then, boy, in short order! You're too old to stand in need o' much billin' and cooin' but the gal's rayther young, and may expect it and I s'pose it's the way. But I'd sooner you'd step up to the Doctor, bein' as I can only take him when he comes here to me loaded and primed.
"I won't waste words on you," he said, "but think twice before you make me such a proposition again." Holton's wrath rose vividly. "Damn him!" he muttered as he walked away. "I'll pay him back for that! I'll get that gal's land in spite of him, and I won't stop at that. I'll pay him back for ... everythin'! I'll teach him what it air to stir the hate o' hell in a man's heart!"
"What's that you got around your neck, Ned?" asked one of the men lying in the obscurity. Ned or Edmond mechanically fastened another button of his shirt and did not reply. He went on reading his letter. "Is it your sweet heart's picture?" "'Taint no gal's picture," offered the man at the fire. He had removed his tin cup and was engaged in stirring its grimy contents with a small stick.
