Sir W. Then as you won't think of yourself, I must think for you. Your education, I find, has been well begun, and I will take care it shall not be left half done. Widow. Oh, I'm too happy this minute! But great joy can say little. Mabel. Mr. H. This day is the happiest I have seen since I left the land of cakes. Gilb. Thank you, Mr. Hope. And when I say thank you, why, I feel it.
Bo boo! bo boo! bo boo! there's a tantarara now; but never mind her, she takes them tantarums by turns. Now depend upon it, Mr. Gilbert, it's love that's at the bottom of it all, clane and clear. Gilb. It's very like, sir I can't say. Christy. Oh, but I can say I know her, egg and bird. The thing is, she's mad with you, and that has set her all through other. Gilb. All through other!
I am heartily glad to hear it, for then I can serve you directly. This young heiress, my niece, to whom this town belongs, has a new inn ready built. Gilb. I know, sir. Sir W. Then, Gilbert, write a proposal for this inn, if you wish for it, and I will speak to my niece. Gilb. As to a dishonest man, I can't say I value standing in his light, being that he has no right to have any, as I can see.
Mabel mavourneen, wear the rose he give you now I'll let you and see it's fresh enough. She put it in water oh! she had hope still! Mabel. And was not I right to trust him, mother? Gilb. Mabel, if I don't do my best to make you happy all my days, I deserve to be that's all! But I'm going to tell you about the new inn: that's what I have been about ever since, and I'm to have it for sixty guineas.
And if he should go up stairs, sir, why that's as bad again, and worse; for the half of them there stairs is rotten, and ever so many pulled down and burnt. Sir W. Burnt! the stairs? Gilb. Burnt, sir, as sure as I'm standing here! burnt, sir, for fuel one scarce year, as they says, sir.
That's all I have to say, if I was to talk till Christmas and fewest words is best in matters of business. Christy. Fifty guineas in gold! Don't part with a guinea of them, man, put 'em up again. You shall have the new inn without a word more, and into the bargain my good-will and my daughter and you're a jantleman, and can't say no to that, any way. Gilb.
Oh! she does well enough; and that's what her heart was living upon, till I killed the hope. Gilb. You! killed the hope! I thought you were my friend. Widow. And so I am, and was but when you did not speak. Gilb. If I had not loved her so well, I might have been able, perhaps, to have said more. Widow. Then that's enough.
Confound me if I understand one word the man is saying; but I will make him understand me, if he can understand plain English. Mr. I have my own thought. Gilb. Now, Mr. , to be plain with you at once here's fifty guineas in gold, and if you will take them, and give me up the promise you have got of the new inn, you shall be welcome.
Then I was and I can tell you that I found to my cost, love was all in all with me before I was married, and after I had been married a twel'-month, money was all in all with me; for I had the wife, and I had not the money, and without the money, the wife must have starved. Gilb. But I can work, sir, and will, head, hands, and heart, for the woman I love. Christy. Asy said hard done.
Sir W. I remember when we were talking of establishing you in England, that your father told me you would like to set up an inn. Gilb. Sir W. Could. spare you, Gilbert! I will spare you, whether I can conveniently or not. If I had an opportunity of establishing advantageously a man who has served me faithfully for ten years, do you think I would not put myself to a little inconvenience to do it?
