"Why, that's different again, Anna, and so I don't mind showing him a thing or two if time and opportoonity offer." "Are ye for Tonbridge Fair, Jessamy?" enquired the Tinker. "I am so, Jerry. I'm a-marching, comrade, wi' royals and studden-sails set, messmate, and all for the glory o' the Lord, brother." "Then if you'm be minded for a lift, Jessamy, there be room for ye alongside Peregrine!"
I had been very vigilant myself too, and altogether was quite convinced there was no stowaway below, either white or black, though under ordinary circumstances one never would think of seeking for a native in hiding for Europe. On either hand of the Jessamy Bride's cabin five sleeping berths were bulkheaded off. The Major's was right aft on the starboard side. Mine was next his.
Exuberant, with blood a-dance and nerves braced and tingling from the sparkling water, we faced each other upon the grassy level, Jessamy and I, stripped to the waist and with muffled fists and I very conscious of the keen eyes that appraised my slender arms, and the muscles of what uncle George would have called my 'torso. "I'm afraid I am hatefully puny!"
"And there he is, at last!" exclaimed uncle George suddenly, and beckoned with imperious hand; thus, glancing whither he looked, I espied Jessamy Todd and, with a sudden twist, I broke away and ran to meet her who walked at Jessamy's side. "O Diana!" I exclaimed, "I have been looking for you all afternoon. Come!" And taking her hand, I led her up to my astonished uncles.
I vow I never meet him without thinking of Jemmy Jessamy, and the rest of the gossamer beaux who squired our grandmothers!" "My acquaintance with Lord Berrington is trifling," returned Miss Beaufort, withdrawing her eyes from the pensive features of the count, who was sorting the lessons; "yet I am so far prepossessed in his favor, that I see little in his appearance to reprehend.
No wonder, then, that Scott recorded his abhorrence of the "whole Jemmy and Jenny Jessamy tribe," while to Coleridge and Thackeray "Jemmy Jessamy stuff" was a favorite synonym for the emotional inane. But Mrs. Haywood made no pretense of interesting such readers.
I've a frying pan in my cart over yonder ham an' eggs, lad!" "God bless you again, Jerry breakfast! And here among the trees it will be like old times, though Jessamy ought to be with us, of course." "Well he's over at my little camp not so far away. I'm pitched t' other side Amberley wood." "How is he, Jerry?" "Mighty well.
"You have no business to run such risks," said I angrily, my gorge rising at memory of the fellow, "a tavern is no place for a girl " "Well, I can't live under a glass case!" she retorted. "And, anyway, I can take care of myself better than you can!" "Yes," I answered humbly, "I fear I am not a very terrible champion Jessamy, O Jessamy, teach me how to fight!"
Here she turned on me in such flaming anger that I fell back a step in utter amazement, and Jessamy, murmuring something about "seeing if supper was ready" quickened his stride and left us together. "Why did ye do it?" she panted. "Why did ye let 'em think 't was you stole that looking-glass?" "Because it was my whim!" "Oh, I know I know!" she cried, positively gnashing her teeth at me.
"None s' bad," answered Jessamy; "he's quick an' willing an' don't mind bein' knocked down now and then, which is a good thing you went down pretty frequent that last round, brother!" Here Diana, noting my battered dishevelment, scowled at Jessamy adorably. "It ain't isn't needful to hit quite so hard, is it, Jessamy?" she enquired. "Why, yes, Ann.
