Reeves axed him tew time and time agin! Not he. That was blowin' a fresh o' wind, an' he jest lay down in the lee scuppers, and 'I can't get no wetter, Posh, he say, and let the lipper slosh oover him. Ah! He was a master rum un, was my ole guv'nor!"
The three young men exchanged glances with each other while Spurge refreshed himself with his fortified coffee, and their eyes asked similar questions. "Ah!" observed Copplestone at last. "You don't know what, Spurge? You haven't examined one of those boxes?" Spurge set his cup down and gave his questioner a knowing look. "I'll tell you my line o' conduct, guv'nor," he said.
"I call that handsome, guv'nor," he exclaimed, "and I ain't above saying so." "Take another glass of brandy, Hawkins." "Thank you kindly, sir; I don't care if I do," answered the groom; and again he replenished his glass with the coarse and fiery spirit. "I've given you that sovereign because I believe you are an honest fellow," said the surgeon.
But the next day he would return with the score altered on the lines suggested by Henry, and would confess that the music was improved. "Upon my soul, it's better! The 'Guv'nor' was perfectly right." His Danish march in "Hamlet," his Brocken music in "Faust," and his music for "The Merchant of Venice" were all, to my mind, exactly right.
"Almost as soon as you'd gone," answered Copplestone. "Ten minutes ago!" sighed Spurge. "Guv'nor they've done us! They're off! I see it she must ha' caught sight o' me, nosing round, and she came here and gave the others the office, and they bucked out at the back.
On my affording an opportunity, through the medium of the currency of the realm, of the allaying, at a later period, this beneficial evil, one of the men remarked, "That 'ere 'ouse, guv'nor, is the rummiest I ever was in. Blyme! But it ain't been touched sence a hundred years. There was dust that thick in the place that you might have slep' on it without 'urtin' of yer bones.
Since ten o'clock, however, dozens of new ones have been made. That is why the policeman is keeping an eye on the place chiefly to warn off intruders. Shall we return to the house?" "It's a strange business," said Fenley, striding down the slope by Furneaux's side. "Why in the world should any one want to shoot my poor old guv'nor?
He, it seemed, was the knife and boot boy at the "Blue Boar", "did a bit" with the gloves, and was willing to spar with Sheen provided Mr Bevan made it all right with the guv'nor; saw, that is so say, that he did not get into trouble for passing in unprofessional frivolity moments which should have been sacred to knives and boots. These terms having been agreed to, he put on the gloves.
I reckon that'ud be the last time as he was seen alive! unless unless " "Unless what?" asked Copplestone eagerly. "Unless one other man saw him," replied Spurge solemnly. "For there was another man there, guv'nor. Squire Greyle!" Copplestone looked hard at Spurge; Spurge returned the stare, and nodded two or three times. "Gospel truth!" he said. "I kept where I was I'd reasons of my own.
Sally stuck to me loyally until the Lyceum days ended. Then she perceived "a divided duty." On one side was "the Guv'nor" with "the Guv'nor's" valet Walter, to whom she was devoted; on the other was a precarious in and out job with me, for after the Lyceum I never knew what I was going to do next.
