Creed, as that he had no opinion at all of him, but only he was forced to make use of him because of his present accounts. Thence to drink with Mr. Shepley and Mr. Pinkny, and so home and among my workmen all day. In the evening Mr. Shepley came to me for some money, and so he and I to the Mitre, and there we had good wine and a gammon of bacon. My uncle Wight, Mr.
"Three times seven's twenty-one, ain't it?" Mr. Fleming said this, and let out his elbow in a small perplexity, as Anthony took him up: "And fifty-two times twenty-one?" "Well, that's, that's how much is that, Mas' Gammon?" the farmer asked in a bellow. Master Gammon was laboriously and steadily engaged in tightening himself with dumpling.
Herein Gammon had the advantage; he learnt much more than it was in his power to communicate, for, whilst Greenacre had been playing a deliberate game, the man of commerce had become possessed of secrets only by chance, which his friend naturally could not believe.
Yah, ye can't gammon me! She's a Eve, ain't she, an' all Eves loves a bit o' kissy-cuddly. An' she looks a nice warm armful, so why not try? Better soon nor late!" "What d' you mean?" I demanded, trembling with indignation. "I mean as she's a Eve, an' all Eves loves a bit o' kissy-cuddly an' " "That will do!" cried I, clenching my fists.
Angry agitation again took hold of Polly's aunt, who was very easily swayed by an opinion from Mr. Gammon. The landlady, too, gave willing ear to his words. "Do you mean," she asked, "that we should really break the door open?" "I do; and what's more I'll pay the damage. Go up, Mrs. Bubb, and just say what I told you; and let's see how she takes it." Mrs. Clover began a faint objection, but Mrs.
The wolf, I thought, winked his wicked eye, as much as to say, "That's all gammon; don't suppose you can do an old soldier like me;" but I cannot say positively, as it was growing dark. Still he would not move, and I had no wish to get nearer his fangs. I continued shouting, and he went on howling, and a sweet concert we must have made, for I had bawled till I was hoarse.
Master Gammon, a thoughtful eater, was always last at the meal, and a latent, deep-lying irritation at Mrs. Sumfit for her fidgetiness, day after day, toward the finish of the dish, added a relish to his engulfing of the monstrous morsel. He looked at her steadily, like an ox of the fields, and consumed it, and then holding his plate out, in a remorseless way, said, "You make 'em so good, marm."
She cast on me a glance of severe disapproval, and denounced my conduct as shameful; but uncle Jay-Jay's eyes twinkled as he dexterously turned the subject. "Gammon, mother! I bet you were often kissed when that youngster's age. I bet my boots now that you can't count the times you did the same thing yourself. Now, confess."
But who knows what may be her machinations, or Isabel's sense of obedience? 'Does she forbid it? 'No. She went to speak to Isabel. I fancy she found it unwise to test her power too far; so she came down and palavered me, assured me that I was personally all that heart could wish she loved her dear child the better for valuing solid merit. Faugh! how could I stand such gammon?
You may always reckon on a slow man like Gammon for waitin'. Robert comes too?" "Father, we have business to do. Robert gives me his rooms here for a little time; his landlady is a kind woman, and will take care of me. You will trust me to Robert." "I'll bring Rhoda down on Monday evening," Robert said to the farmer. "You may trust me, Mr. Fleming." "That I know. That I'm sure of.
