"He'll git his pay, honey, when they sot him to work in Georgey an' flog him right smart, an' we spend the price of him fur punch. He, he! lovey lad!" "I took this from him to-day when I searched him carefully," the captain said, handing Patty Cannon a piece of silver coin.
"When you were a child, and I hardly better than a boy. Now it's different. Let mine go first, Georgey. You may have a husband, who will not look on these things as we do." "How can I love a husband!" was all she said; and Merthyr took her in his arms. His gaiety had gone. "We can't go dancing into a pit of this sort," he sighed, partly to baffle the scrutiny he apprehended in her silence.
He's a sea-crab playin' the setter fur niggers. He sang beef to me in Princess Anne. I told him thar he'd pass for a nigger, Patty, and we'll sell him fur one to Georgey!" "All's fish that comes to our net, Joe," the woman chuckled; "he'll sell high, too."
But I don't know why I'm to let that stand in my way when so very little is done to make me happy. Of course you will write to me again, and I hope you will say something satisfactory about the house in London. Yours always sincerely, It probably never occurred to Georgey that Mr Brehgert would under any circumstances be anxious to go back from his engagement.
The boy had that notion of death which is generally imparted to children by their wise elders, and which always leads the infant mind to the open grave and rarely carries it any higher. "I should like to see him put in the pit-hole," Georgey remarked, after a pause.
"And accept what the noble creature chooses to bring to us in buckets," added Lady Charlotte. "What is your opinion, Georgey? I forget: Merthyr has thought you worthy of instruction." "Merthyr taught me in camp," said Georgians, looking at her brother her face showing peace and that confirmed calm delight habitual to it.
As far as stupidness goes they are about the same. But Dolly has a little more knowledge of the world. 'Of course we all know, Georgiana, rejoined the elder sister, 'that for cuteness and that kind of thing one must look among the commercial classes, and especially among a certain sort. 'I've done with you all, said Georgey, rushing out of the room.
He, Georgey, unkind that you are! he does not distrust me; but always advises and helps me: Merthyr waits for me. I cannot be instantly ready for every meaning in the world. What I want to do, is to see Wilfrid: if not, I will write to him. I will tell him that I intend to break my promise." A light of unaffected pride shone from the girl's face, as she threw down this gauntlet to sentimentalism.
She seemed to be plucking him from the hands of the dead, and half recognized that victory over uncontesting rivals claps the laurel- wreath rather rudely upon our heads. Emilia lost no time in running straight to Georgiana, who was busy at her writing-desk. She related what she had just heard, ending breathlessly: "Georgey! my dear! will you help them?"
So it was with poor Georgey Longestaffe. Something must be done at once, or it would be of no avail. Twelve years had been passed by her since first she plunged into the stream, the twelve years of her youth, and she was as far as ever from the bank; nay, farther, if she believed her eyes.
