She does not know there is no stoop; she seemed sleeping or half-dead when he carried her in, and if by any chance she has got hold of the key and the door should open " "Hush!" I cried, starting forward in horror of the thought he had suggested. "It is opening. I see a thread of light. What does it mean, Jupp? The child? No; there is more than a child's strength in that push. Hist!"
"I won't sir, I promise you," whispered Jupp to comfort him; however, before he could say any more, the panting female had drawn nearer from the doorway and come up close to the fireplace, the flickering red light from which made her somewhat rubicund countenance appear all the ruddier.
She told her sister she wanted to go to Perry's to get some wool, instead o' which it was only a stall to get me a pint o' ale, bless her heart; there's nobody else would do that much for poor old Jupp, and it's a horrid lie to say she is gay; not but what I like a gay woman, I do: I'd rather give a gay woman half-a-crown than stand a modest woman a pot o' beer, but I don't want to go associating with bad girls for all that.
To rush back through the side gate round to the front was but the work of an instant with Jupp, and, followed by Mary, he was almost as quickly on the spot as the sound of the explosion had been heard.
This display of affection had unfortunately the same effect on Jupp as before, causing the miserable porter to feel acute pangs of envy; although, by rights, he had no direct interest in the transaction, and was only an outside observer, so to speak! By way of concealing his feelings, therefore, he turned the conversation.
Jupp jumped up at once, rightly imagining that this lady's unexpected appearance would, as he mentally expressed it, "put a stopper" on the mite's contemplated expedition, and so relieve him of any further personal anxiety on his behalf, he having been puzzling his brains vainly for the last half hour how to discover his whereabouts and get him home to his people again; but, as for the little man himself, he did not seem in the least put out by the interruption of his plans.
"I suppose, sir," observed Jupp inquiringly, picking up all the eatables and putting them together apart on the seat next the little man "I suppose as how them's your provisions for the journey?" "Ess. I ate dindin; an', dat's tea." "Indeed, sir! and very nice things for tea too," said Jupp, beaming with admiration and good-humoured fun.
And now Jupp must go and lay himself up, and I have the services to attend myself, morning and afternoon!" Mr. Jupp was assistant-organist. An apprentice to Mr. Williams, but just out of his time. "What's the matter with Jupp?" asked Arthur. "A little bit of fever, and a great deal of laziness," responded Mr. Williams. "He is the laziest fellow alive.
Harold Jupp was quite unimpressed by Millie Splay's outburst. He remained severely in front of her, judge, prosecutor and jury all in one, and all relentlessly against her. "And what is his name?" Lady Splay looked down and looked up. "Mr. Albany Todd," she said. "I don't like it," said Harold Jupp. "No," added Dennis Brown sadly from a corner. "We can't like it, Lady Splay."
I'll be proud, that I will, to show him," answered Jupp eagerly, mightily pleased with the task intrusted to him, having long wished to undertake it; and so, he being willing, and his pupil nothing loth, Teddy was in a comparatively short space so well instructed how to support himself in the water that he was quite capable of swimming across the river without fear of being sucked down into the mill-race although he made both his father and Jupp a promise, which he honourably kept, of never bathing there unless accompanied by either of the two.
