And he prided himself upon his race and breeding, and considered our American men boors! After that I nearly gave up his case as hopeless, and devoted myself to Kitty, whom I really believe the Jook did not know by sight after having been for nearly a week in the same house with her. Kitty once or twice mildly insinuated her desire to know him.
The Jook iv Marlburrow, whin he come out iv th' academy where they had him, he hadn't a cint to his name. Ne'er a wan. "They ain't manny jobs f'r a young jook. Th' thrade is limited; an' this here la-ad wint round night an' day lookin' f'r a sign, 'Wanted, a young jook, r-ready an' willin' to do light family jookin', an' no sign did he see.
Afther awhile his daughter, the jook's financee, come along; an', seein' the jook, says she, 'Pappa, she says, 'inthrojooce me to ye'er frind. 'Jook, says Ganderbilk, 'shake hands with me daughther. She's your's, he says. An' so they were marrid. "Well, Jawn," said Mr.
Naturally, the Jook was utterly bewildered, but as for me I sprang up into a sitting posture, for the meaning of Kitty's behavior had just flashed upon me. Absolutely, the poor little goose thought that in accepting the Jook, as she was evidently dying to do, she would be robbing me of my lover.
However, I concluded to risk it, but just here a sudden and unforeseen obstacle checked my triumphant course. "Mr. The Jook looked at me with his most placid smile, and replied blandly, "Thank you very much, but I'd rather not." Did any one ever hear of such a man? I understood his reasons well enough, though he did not take the trouble to explain them: it was only exclusiveness gone mad.
Königin and I sat in a dark corner for the express purpose of admiring her delicate little manuvres. As for her father, good stolid man! he was well used to Kitty's freaks, and went on reading his newspaper in such a matter-of-fact way that she might as well have wheedled the Pyramid of Cheops. The Jook, however, was all that could be desired.
At last it came to be this letter's turn, and the Major broke a seal with 'Fairoaks' engraved upon it, and 'Clavering St. Mary's' for a postmark. It was a double letter, and the Major commenced perusing the envelope before he attacked the inner epistle. "Is it a letter from another Jook," growled Mr. Glowry, inwardly, "Pendennis would not be leaving that to the last, I'm thinking."
I have been feeling more and more what a vain, deceitful, hypocritical little wretch I am ever since I knew you. I have been expecting you to find me out every day, and I almost hoped you would." "What do you mean, Miss Grey?" asked the Jook in tones of utter amazement, as well he might. "Oh dear! how shall I tell you?" sighed poor Kitty; and I could feel her blushes burning through her words.
What I saw was only Kitty and the Jook, but Kitty and the Jook walking side by side in the most amicable manner Kitty sparkling, bewitching, helpless, appealing by turns or altogether as only she could be; the Jook watching her with an expression of amusement and delight on his handsome face.
'Well, says Ganderbilk, 'how much d'ye want? he says. 'I'll give ye a millyon. 'Goowan, says th' jook, 'I cud get that much marryin' somewan I knew. 'Thin how much d'ye want? says Ganderbilk. 'Well, says th' jook, th' castle has to be put in repair. Th' plumbin' is all gone to th' divvle, an' they'll have to be a new catch-basin put in, he says.
