"Look here," he said, "you all come up asking the same question and wasting my time answering you all severally. You want to know what this place means. Well, if you'll stay just where you are for a minute, I'll tell you all together, and save time." "Hear, hear, guv'nor," said a bibulous old costermonger, encouragingly. "Let's hear all about it." "So you shall," Brooks said. "Now listen.
His voice lowered suddenly, and he jerked a thumb back over his shoulder. "Mate on the square with you, I s'pose? Comin' along now?" "Bet yer life I am!" responded Dollops heartily, giving him a significant wink. "'Course I ain't said nuffin' ter ole Bill abaht what you tole me, but I know 'e's a cute un. No flies on ole Bill, guv'nor, give yer me oath on that. What abaht it, now?
The navvy started to his feet with an oath and then fell back into his chair, staring round him vacantly, at a loss as to where he might be. His eye fell upon the bottle of Hollands, which was now nearly empty, and he held out his hand to it with an exclamation of recognition. "I've been asleep, guv'nor," he said hoarsely. "Must have a dram to set me straight. Did you say it was time for the job."
That young feller took my name and number. He'd catch me in the lie, sure as shootin'. And, say, they sent a couple of guys up for perjury just last week, pals of mine, they were. Not for me, guv'nor. I'll stick to the truth, just to see how it feels." "But the man has sworn to kill me!" "You pulled a gun on him," retorted the driver surlily. "I don't like that kind of business.
He says he always gives fourteen days in cases of unprovoked assault." "But it wasn't unprovoked," says the guv'nor. "The other man began it by knocking off his hat. It was self-defence." "She put that to him," she says, "and he agreed that that would alter his view of the case. But, you see," she continues, "we can't find the other man. He isn't likely to come forward of his own accord."
"And though he was dead enough when I found him, guv'nor, he hadn't been dead so long. But dead he was and not from aught of my doing." "What time was this?" asked Mr. Lindsey. "It would be past eleven o'clock," replied Carter. "It was ten when I called by Cornhill station.
Clodd experienced another new sensation that of falling in his own estimation. "And yet one can see that you are clever." The mercury of Clodd's conceit shot upward to a point that in the case of anyone less physically robust might have been dangerous to health. Clodd held out his hand. "We'll pull it through, Tommy. The Guv'nor shall find the literature; you and I will make it go. I like you."
You nearly dislocated my shoulder, and if you had, I'd have stopped the doctor's bill out of your allowance. I would, indeed! And now, what have you got to say?" Mr. Benjamin had been walking up and down the office with his hands in his trousers' pockets whistling softly to himself. At the conclusion of his father's complaint he came to a standstill. "All right, guv'nor. Sorry I hurt you.
He put the revolver in his pocket, and drew out a note-book. "I should be glad to hear the facts," he said with professional courtesy. "In the absence of the guv'nor...." "I have told you the facts!" "This man at Ealing West," said Mr. Peters, moistening the point of his pencil, "he wrote you letters proposing marriage?" "No, no, no!" "At any rate," said Mr.
"Go it on the feed!" exclaimed this spirited young man. "Nothin' like a good spread. Grub enough and good liquor; that's the ticket. Guv'nor 'll do the heavy polite, and let me alone for polishin' off the young charmers." And Mr. Geordie looked expressively at a handmaid who was rolling gingerbread, as if he were rehearsing for "Don Giovanni."
