A friend had read Lord Monboddo's view that men had sprung from apes, and suggested that the inhabitants of Gom Broon had tails, so that the brother told him that his subjects had not emerged from apedom and he must invent arts to eliminate the tails. They must be made to sit down for six hours a day as a beginning. Abdicate he would not, though all his subjects had three tails apiece.
"You bedder haf some glothes, eh?" and he kindly brought forth some very large leather breeches, which the Dodo, after some hesitation, consented to put on. Next the Walrus took down a rough, hairy coat, with mittens attached to the sleeves. "Gom, put your arms in dis," he said, "and trow avay dose gloves you got on." "What!" cried the Dodo, "take off my gloves? Never!"
How many heirlooms and dusky portraits the romantic thoughtfulness of the ladies had managed to crowd into this apartment for the occasion were hard to compute; enough, certainly, one would think, to inspire the most sluggish-blooded Tulliwuddle with a martial exultation. Instead, the chieftain groaned again. "Tell zem I am ill. I cannot gom to dinner.
Gom, she did that'n." "Your Nance is a darling," said I, stroking her disordered hair. At my request backed by a promise to turn the crown into half a guinea, the butler got them some breakfast. Fortunately the Squire and the parson were due at a duck-shooting ten miles off by seven o'clock, and so were stirring early. My matter was soon settled.
She must try again! "Mon-ty! Mont gom ery!" Nothing save the wind soughing dismally among the rafters responded to her call, uttered with her loudest voice, and a fresh shiver of fear crept over her. Then she rallied, growing angry, which, under the circumstances, was the best thing that could have happened.
"Thank you, sir!" she said, with evident relief. At a trace of doubt in my words or face, she would have broken down. "Don't be a goose, ghostie," said I. "Sit down and get warm! And how are you. Job? Much obliged to you both." "We'n ridden main hard to get here, sir. Your mon didna get t'our 'ouse afore one o'clock, an' we wor on the way afore ha'f-past. Gom! We wor that'n. Our Nance nearly bust.
I vill dake care dot you und your beople shall not be hurt, because I do loaf you ferry mooch. Der master of der Mary Ann vill dell you I vas ferry goot to him for your sake. I did but take his gargo, and did give him und his grew liberdy to go to Sydney und dake this letter to you, mein vrau, in der dime to gom, as I did dell him. I remain your loafing Richard Portveldt."
Then, leading my companions into the yard, I pushed into the inn and, by good hap, lighted on the host, nearly out of his five wits with trying to understand one word of English in a score of Gaelic. "Hello, surry!" said I. "Gom!" said he, "Staffordsheer at last." "I've heard a lot about Leek ale," said I. "Draw me a mug of it!"
Schneider gutturally, 'to vot do I attribute dis honour? Have a cigar sit down. Mr. Schneider shifted his cigar to the corner of his mouth, and laughed immoderately. 'Ha, ha, ha! he roared, leaning forward, and thrusting a long, dirty finger into Selwyn's chest. 'That is vot I call mine adjustable creed. For most peoples vot gom' here Nix. But for fine fellers like you'
The Baron, on his part, was evidently still suffering from his attack of stage fright; but again the Count's gifts smoothed the creases from the situation. "You have not introduced me to our host, Tulliwuddle," he said, with a gay, infectious confidence. "Ah, so! Zis is my friend Count Bunker gom all ze vay from Austria," responded the Baron, with no glimmer of his customary aplomb.
