Ne'er was my work half undone, lest I should be nabbed Slow was old Bags, but he never ceased Till the whole was grabbed. CHORUS. Till the whole was grabbed. When the slow coach paused, and the gemmen stormed, I bore the brunt; And the only sound which my grave lips formed Was "blunt," still "blunt"! Oh, those jovial days are ne'er forgot!
Reaching behind me, I drew the keys from under my pillow and tossed them to the solemn black, lying still once more to watch him unlock my boxes and lay out my clothes and linen to the air. "Company to sup, suh; gemmen from de No'th an' Guy Pahk, suh," he hinted, rolling his eyes at me and holding up my best wristbands, made of my mother's lace. "I shall dress soberly, Cato," said I, yawning.
And not until he had been repeatedly assured that no harm should befall him did Wool gain composure enough to say, amid tears of cruel grief and fear: "Oh, marsers! my young missus, Miss Black, done been captured and bewitched and turned into somebody else, right afore my own two looking eyes and gone off in dat coach! 'deed she is! and ole marse kill me!'deed he will, gemmen!
He cleared his throat, and thus addressed the foe: "You, sir, Captain Lovett, alias Howard, alias Jackson, alias Cavendish, alias Solomons, alias Devil, for I knows you well, and could swear to you with half an eye, in your clothes or without, you lay down your club there, and let me come alongside of you, and you'll find me as gentle as a lamb; for I've been used to gemmen all my life, and I knows how to treat 'em when I has 'em!"
"Pray don't do that," replied Tommy Dott; "we shall be put to the expense of mourning." "And I shall weep my eyes out," continued one of the mercantile gentlemen. "Weep your eyes out is that all? I shall blow my brains out," said another. "And I will lie down on your grave and die," said the third. "Dat all very well, gemmen; you say dat and laugh but I no slave.
"An' den sich a breakfast an' sich dancin' an' co'tin': ladies all out on de lawn in der white dresses, an' de gemmen in fair-top boots, an' Mammy Jane runnin' round same as a chicken wid its head off, an' der heads was off befo' dey knowed it, an' dey a-br'ilin' on de gridiron.
But Georges drank the glassful, for he feared an argument. Then Nana remembered Louiset, who was sitting forgotten behind her. Maybe he was thirsty, and she forced him to take a drop or two of wine, which made him cough dreadfully. "'Ere y'are, 'ere y'are, gemmen!" La Faloise reiterated. "It don't cost two sous; it don't cost one. We give it away."
Did my relations tell you?" "Yes yes they told me all that is, they sent to tell me; so you see I'm d -d soft not to lay hold of you. But, perhaps, if they be gemmen, they'll act as sich, and cash me this here cheque!" But the last words were said to air. Philip had rushed from the yard.
Bill, what about the breeches?" "To be sure, Job, mine be worn thin; I'll have measter's breeches." "And what's for me?" growled the man at my feet. "There's only the shirt and the boots left," said Job, "for bein' gemmen we can't let him go bare. You take the boots, Topper."
