As they passed her, she would draw her cowskin and give them a blow, saying, "move faster, you black jip!" and, again, "take that, you black jip!" continuing, "if you don't move faster, I will give you more." Then the lady would go on, singing her sweet hymns, as though her righteous soul were sighing for the holy realms of paradise.
But nowhere in the whole boat could they find a key to fit that lock. So they all came back to the door, and Jip peered through the key-hole. But something had been stood against the wall on the inside and he could see nothing. While they were standing around, wondering what they should do, the owl, Too-Too, suddenly said, "Sh! Listen! I do believe there's some one in there!"
The only member of our small society who positively refused to adapt himself to circumstances, was Jip. He never saw my aunt without immediately displaying every tooth in his head, retiring under a chair, and growling incessantly: with now and then a doleful howl, as if she really were too much for his feelings.
"Oh well," I said, "most likely he has just run home ahead of us. He often does that, you know. We'll find him there when we get back to the house." But the Doctor just closed his coat-collar tighter against the wind and strode on muttering, "Odd very odd!" WHEN we reached the house the first question the Doctor asked of Dab-Dab in the hall was, "Is Jip home yet?"
So the Doctor got down into the hole, which seemed to be a kind of cave, or tunnel, running a long way under the ground. Then he struck a match and started to make his way along the dark passage with Jip following behind. The Doctor's match soon went out; and he had to strike another and another and another.
David's eloquence increasing, the more he raved, the more Jip barked each, in his own way, getting more mad every moment! Even when they had got married by licence, "the Archbishop of Canterbury invoking a blessing, and doing it as cheap as it could possibly be expected," their domestic experiences were sources of unbounded merriment.
And it takes a long time to accustom Jip to his new residence, after we have bought it; whenever he goes in or out, he makes all the little bells ring, and is horribly frightened. Peggotty comes up to make herself useful, and falls to work immediately. Her department appears to be, to clean everything over and over again.
The cinque cento birds in Venice hold it up daintily, like train-bearers; the birds in the earlier Gothic peck at it hungrily and naturally; but the Lombard beasts gripe at it like tigers, and tear it off with writhing lips and glaring eyes. They are exactly like Jip with the bit of geranium, worrying imaginary cats in it."
What Miss Lavinia did, her sister did as a matter of course. It was very odd to me; but they all seemed to treat Dora, in her degree, much as Dora treated Jip in his. 'Because you know, my darling, I remonstrated, 'you are not a child. 'There! said Dora. 'Now you're going to be cross! 'Cross, my love? 'I am sure they're very kind to me, said Dora, 'and I am very happy 'Well!
This fight's going to keep us all hopping." And Jip was right. Before a quarter of an hour had gone by our village was completely surrounded by one huge mob of yelling, raging Bag-jagderags. I now come again to a part in the story of our voyages where things happened so quickly, one upon the other, that looking backwards I see the picture only in a confused kind of way.
