"I am almost certain of the fact, but to be sure my friend must also see him." Then he arranged to meet Li Dsing on a certain day at a certain inn. "When you see this mule before the door, together with a very lean jackass, then you may be certain I am there with my friend." On the day set Li Dsing went there and, sure enough he saw the mule and the jackass before the door.
It would never do to have a bandit get away with a U. S. brand. It never does matter about private property, but anything with U. S. on it has got to be looked after, like a croupy child. We had some good days' sport, and no more formidable enterprise against the night-guard was attempted than the noisy approach of a white jackass. The tents were struck and loaded when it began to rain.
"Because then I'd be such a perfect jackass that I could win medals at a show. I ought to have guessed it at first glance, from the fact that the advertisement couldn't well have been mailed to Robinson originally, anyhow." "Why not?" "Because he's not in the sporting-goods business, and the advertisement is obviously addressed to the retail trade. Don't you remember: it offers a showcase, free.
"Zose words you shall not call la petite hound an' me. Even name of a dog is for such as you too good to be call'. Monsieur, we take pleasaire in your departure from hence." "Go on, please the lady, Buckeye. There's no other jackass to keep you here any longer." And Buckeye departed in a perfect indigo haze of profanity. "Mignon, have you heard the news?" "Non, Monsieur, I 'ave sleep all ze day."
We got an order to the officer commanding the nearest post on shore, to provide us with horses; but before reaching it, we had to walk, under a roasting sun, about two miles through miry roads, until we arrived at the barrier, where we found a detachment of artillery, but the commanding officer could only give us one poor broken-winded horse, and a jackass, on which we were to proceed to headquarters on the morrow; and here, under a thatched hut of the most primitive construction, consisting simply of cross sticks and pahn branches, we had to spend the night, the poor fellows being as kind as their own misery would let them.
We were placed in a good bed the state-bed of course and as we lay, paid our devotions to Urania, and contemplated the beauties of the starry firmament, through an aperture in the roof which would have admitted a jackass.
"Yes, but when a great poet sets his hand to a fairy sort of thing, you get well, you get poor Titania." "She fell in love with a jackass," he remarked. "Puck bewitched her." "Precisely. A lovely woman with her arms around a jackass. Does that never happen in Kings Port?" He began smiling to himself. "I'm afraid Puck isn't all dead yet." I was now in a position to begin dropping my bitters.
It was evident that our presence was no longer desired in the house of the Paddingtons. And no wonder! "Let us go," I said, proceeding to the coat room. The Count met us on the way. "You are a liar a jackass!" he hissed into Rayel's ear. Hastily drawing on our coats we stepped out into the chilly night air and walked leisurely down the deserted avenue. Neither of us spoke for some moments.
Showman, or the mob would turn everything to a compliment. Gilbert's curiosity was directed to the Laughing Jackass, and with too much truth he admitted that it took its tone from whatever it associated with, and caught every note, from the song of the lark to the bray of the donkey; then laughed good-humouredly when the character was fitted upon himself.
He commands me to close the letter. Farewell forever! I pity you. SCHW. A most amiable and loving brother, in good truth! And the scoundrel's name is Francis. Bread and water! Is that it? A temperate diet! But I have made a better provision for you. Did I not say that I should have to think for you all at last? SCHWEIT. What does the blockhead say! The jackass is going to think for us all!
