"When our little Jemmy smashed his finger we sent Emma down to break it to his father and bring 'im 'ome. It was ever so long before she let you know the truth, wasn't it, father?" "Made me think all sorts of things with her mysteries," said the dutiful Mr. Wheeler, in triumphant corroboration.
The only persons who appeared not to have lost their courage were Jemmy Ducks and poor Smallbones, who had been put in his hammock to recover him from his refrigeration.
A year passed without news; and it was then decided to erect a cenotaph to his lordship in Westminster Abbey. One evening some time after this decision, Jemmy Wedge and Bill Slinker, the eminent burglars, sat in their humble room near the Mint, arranging the final details of a burglary dated for the following evening.
Godfrey grabbed the telephone, and I heard him call headquarters, and give terse orders to send a detail at once to the Magnus house, to watch all ferries and trains, and to search all the thieves' haunts in the city for Kate Travis "Lady" Kate. Headquarters seemed to know perfectly whom he meant. "You won't get her," said Jemmy calmly, as Godfrey hung up the receiver.
Jemmy says, "They're calling out Gran, Bravo the Military English! Bravo the Military English!" which was very gratifying to my feelings as a Briton and became the name the Major was known by.
"Why, Barny," said Jemmy, interrupting him, "we seen no headlan' at all." "Whisht, whisht!" said Barny, "bad cess to you, don't thwart me. We passed it in the night, and you couldn't see it.
Well to be sure when I did after all get my precious bones to bed that night, and my Young Rogue came in to kiss me and asks "What do you think of this lovely lovely Paris, Gran?" I says "Jemmy I feel as if it was beautiful fireworks being let off in my head."
"Of coorse myself," she returned; "an' stay let me see ay, the masther, honest Jemmy, he and I have the goodness between us." "And who's the indifferent, Nanny?" "Wait," she replied; "yes no doubt of it if not worse why the mistress must come in for that, I think." "And now for the bad, Nanny?" She shook her head before she spoke.
The Doctor put a hand into his tail-pocket, and after some difficulty with the lining pulled out a small book bound in green leather and tied with a green ribbon. "Here," he announced, "is the first volume of a treatise on education." "Plague take your books! You're as bad as Jemmy, yonder. I tell you I'll not addle the boy's head with books."
Whilst in this position, motionless as a statue, a voice from one of the beds called out "Jemmy," with a tone so low and feeble that to other ears it would probably not have been distinctly audible. He went to the bedside, and taking the candle in his hand, said, in a voice that had lost its strength but not its tenderness: "Well, Mary dear?"
