I had him here eight year and he was the remarkablest cat I ever see. He was a large gray one of the Tom specie, an' he had more hard, natchral sense than any man in this camp 'n' a power of dignity he wouldn't let the Gov'ner of Californy be familiar with him. He never ketched a rat in his life 'peared to be above it. He never cared for nothing but mining.
His voice was firm, unwavering; the revolver had disappeared from the table and lay now in his pocket. "All right, gov'ner!" The other spoke with alacrity. "I'm game; a bargain is a bargain, and I'll take your word for it," leaning over and laboriously tracing a few letters on the paper. "You'll do your part. You'll find me square and above board, although you did use me a little rough.
But because things have been allowed to go all wrong for twenty-five years, it's no reason why they should be allowed to go wrong for twenty-five years and one day; and I was mighty glad to see Old Ham rubbing the sleep out of his eyes at last. "But, gov'ner," Percy began, throwing the cigarette away, "I really " "Don't you but me; I won't stand it. And don't you call me gov'ner.
Jewish children do not refer to their father as "the Gov'ner," and elderly women as "Salem Witches," because the Jews as a people recognize the rights of the child. And the first right of a child is the right to be loved. In the average Christian household, until a very few years ago, the child grew up with the feeling constantly pressed upon him that he was a usurper and an interloper.
There, here's your affadavy." John Steele moved back to a corner of the room and pulled a wire; in some far-away place a bell rang faintly. "Are ," he spoke a woman's name, obviously a sobriquet, "and her daughter still here?" "How?" "Never mind; answer." "Yes, they're here, gov'ner. You'll want them for witnesses, I suppose. Well, I'll not be gainsaying you."
De las' time he wus yere he tol' me thet he wint down ter Saint Louee hisself, an' done gif bof dem papers ter Gov'ner Clark. So yer don't need worry none 'bout dem no mor'." I sank back onto the hard pillow, greatly relieved by this information. The burden of official duty had been taken from me. I was now on furlough, and free to act as I pleased. I suddenly became conscious that I was hungry.
Gov'ner, suh!" was all he got out for a moment, fear at his own rashness seizing him in its grip at the sight of the six distinguished faces turned toward him. "Jackson! What do you want?" asked the Governor, not so very gently. Jackson advanced, with conspicuous lack of his usual style and sang-froid, a tray in his hand, and a quite second-class-looking envelope upon it. "Beg pardon, suh.
"Quite so, my son, quite so," nodded Old Ham approvingly; "it's the bottomless pit to-day, all right, all right." I saw it coming, but it came hard. Percy sputtered and stuttered and swallowed it once or twice, and then it broke loose in: "And oh! gov'ner, I'm caught in a horrid hole you've got to help me out!"
"Not until some time before the news reached you," One replied, pleasantly. "And what of it?" "Three fycers in a week, Gov'ner anybody'll tell you that's comin' it a bit thick." "Granted. What then?" "That's only part of it. Tike last week: Eighteen pinched, the queer plant in 'Igh Street pulled by the coppers " "I know, I know. To your point!" Seven hesitated under that steely stare.
From his pocket John Steele drew a weapon; his eyes gleamed ominously. The pursuing hansom drew closer; casting a hurried glance over his shoulder, he again called up to the driver. "It's no use, gov'ner," came back the reply. "This 'oss 'as been out longer than 'is." "Then turn the first dark corner and slow up a bit, for only a second; afterward, go on your very best as long as you can."
