"Which, if it is agreeable, we are at home to Captain Hunken this evening," Mrs Bowldler began, in a panting hurry, and continued with a catch of the breath, "Which if you see it in a different light, I must request of you, sir, to allow Palmerston to carry down my box, and you may search it if you wish." "Oh! Conf " began Cai in his turn, and checked himself.
They don't marry again, because the Bible says so: but how some contrytomps is to be avoided I don't see." Chiefly through the loyalty of these three, some weeks elapsed before the breach of friendship between Captain Caius Hocken and Captain Tobias Hunken became a matter of common talk.
"Bringin' you this peace o' mind has been cordial enough for me and for the child too, I reckon, Good-night, gentlemen!" "Cap'n Hunken," said Fancy, "will you take the papers up to him? Then we'll go." "May I bring the papers to 'ee?" asked 'Bias, lifting his face to the window. "Ay, do if they won't come in. . . . I'll step down and unbar the door."
The pile had grown or so it seemed to Cai and blocked out more of the daylight than ever. "Won't you step up? You'll be kindly welcome." "I was told I should find him here." Cai, on requesting Mrs Bowldler that morning to inform him how soon Captain Hunken would be finishing breakfast, had been met with the information that Captain Hunken had breakfasted an hour before, and gone out.
Into what flowers these various shootlets would expand Captain Cai knew no more than Adam, first of gardeners. He would consult some knowledgeable person no, not Mrs Bosenna and label them 'as per instructions': or, stay! 'Bias Hunken had a weakness for small wagers.
But 'Bias's face reflected none of the mirth he had awakened. "I mayn't know much about ploughin', Cai Hocken " he began. "Ah? Good day, Captain Hunken!" interposed Mrs Bosenna. "Good-day to you, ma'am." He raised his hat without answering her smile.
For one thing you bet it isn' the Commissioners' business." "It ought to be somebody's business to stop what's goin' on. Say 'tis mine, if you like." "Look 'ee here, Cap'n Hunken," said Mr Rogers, showing his teeth. "If that's your game, better fit you was kickin' up a rumpus on the Parish Council than puttin' a spoke into honest trade.
I'm bringin' down this plaguy rose-bush, and I'll take some catchin' if I slip with it." "'Who ran and caught him when he fell? 'His Bias," quoted Mrs Bosenna. "He has been doin' wonders up there, Captain Hunken. But if I were you a man of your weight "
There's one or two you couldn't cover with a threepenny bit. Captain Hunken especially; and it cost four-and-ninepence only last July, which makes the heart bleed." "They haven't quarrelled, have they?" asked Fancy. "Quarrelled? No, of course they haven't quarrelled. What put such a thing into your head, child?" "I don't know. . . . But I don't like this writin'; it's unnatural.
"No," said Captain Cai firmly, "you haven't, or you wouldn't ask the question. He's the best man ever wore shoe-leather, and you can trust him to the end o' the earth." "I can't say as I know a Hunken answerin' that description," Mr Bussa confessed dubiously. "You've heard the description, anyway," suggested Mr Rogers, losing patience.
