Billings was soon below in the after cabin. Poor Jim stuttered and haggled while trying to explain what was the matter with him. "I tell you, guvnor, I've got a something that must come out, or I shall choke straight off. I want to speak, and I can't get no words." I shall say nothing of the long talk that went on. I know something about it, but the subject is too sacred for a Loafer to touch.
'Cheap at 'arf a quid, guvnor, he said. 'Not like getting divawced. 'We're not married yet, said Birkin. 'No, no more aren't we, said the young woman loudly. 'But we shall be, a Saturday. Again she looked at the young man with a determined, protective look, at once overbearing and very gentle. He grinned sicklily, turning away his head. She had got his manhood, but Lord, what did he care!
"Guvnor is the Whitechapel slang for father. My man many years ago told me he had received it in that way the death of his parent," explained Carter coming to the rescue. The stately Krovitzer bowed in acknowledgment of the explanation then continued his questioning. "Where did he get it?" His sleepy eyes were probing deep.
Les petites femmes. Bold bad girl from the town of Mullingar. Tell her I was axing at her. Hauding Sara by the wame. On the road to Malahide. Me? If she who seduced me had left but the name. What do you want for ninepence? Machree, macruiskeen. Smutty Moll for a mattress jig. And a pull all together. Ex! Waiting, guvnor? Most deciduously. Bet your boots on.
Before he had time to get down from his seat Jimmy, having seen him through the dining-room window, came out with his napkin in his hand. "'Morning, guvnor," said Joseph. "I've come about this 'ere five pound reward." "You have only to tell me where you left the young lady," replied Jimmy, taking out his pocket-case and temptingly exposing a bank note.
"What's all this got to do with my bein' a spy? These things about my guvnor an' me are personal matters. I don't see as 'ow I'm bound to answer such questions." His face reddened slowly and then he added impressively, "This much I'll admit to my own discredit, though." Sobieska bent forward even more closely in anticipation.
He jerked his whip again towards the awning as a North American Indian in full war-paint passed up the steps and into the house, followed by the applause of the crowd. I must have overpaid the man extravagantly, for his tone changed suddenly as he examined the coins in his hand. "Look here, guvnor, if you want any little 'elp, I was barman one time at the 'Elephant' "
It was one of his rare lapses, realised a moment too late. Almost in his ears came the hoarse cry: "Hands up, guvnor! Hands up this second or I'll blow you to hell!" Quest glanced over his shoulder and looked into the face of Red Gallagher, raised a little above the level of the road. He had evidently been hiding at the foot of the perpendicular bank which divided the road from the track level.
"The guvnor an' me," continued Carrick, "didn't allus 'it hit off together, so you see I didn't know much about 'is affairs. I said hinsurance pipers, because they looked like 'em to me. They might not 'ave been, but the guvnor set a great store by 'em. Captain Carter can tell as 'ow I told 'im all this at Santiago." He turned to his master for confirmation. "It is true," said the latter.
We started him off in twenty minutes." The station-master at Crewe was interested. He knew very well that it is not the easiest thing in the world to bring influence to bear upon a great railway company. "Seems as though he was some one out of the common, anyway," he remarked. "The guvnor didn't let on who the note was from, I suppose?" "Not he," Liverpool answered.
