"'We'll have to forgive you that egg, she says, laughin' like ev'rything, 'for Elder Maybee's sake'; an' in fact," said David, "they all laughed except one feller. He was an Englishman I fergit his name. Harum, you kneow that's the way powdah always geoes off, don't you kneow, an' then," said David, "they laughed harder 'n ever, an' the Englishman got redder 'n a beet."
After the Major had gone, Saulisbury said: "There's one thing the Majah was careful note to mention, my deah. Why should this young fellow be going abeout defending the good name of his niece? Do ye kneow, my deah, I fancy the young idiot is in love with her." "Well, suppose he is?" "But, my deah! In England, you kneow, it wouldn't mattah; it would be a case of hopeless devotion.
I confess I deon't mind these things as you do, old man. I'm a Britisher, y' kneow, and I haven't got intristed in your bloody radicalism, y' kneow. I'm in for Sam Saulisbury 'from the word go, as you fellows say." "And you don't get along any better I mean in a money way." "I kneow, and that's too deuced queeah. Your blawsted sentimentality seems note to do you any harm.
"I wouldn't hawf liked the jobe meself, do ye kneow. They're forty years apiece, and as hard as nails." Mrs. Saulisbury looked up from her walnuts. "Sam is ready to carry the olive club to Mr. Ramsey. 'The poor beggar, as he has called him all along, will be a gentleman from this time forward."
Oi say, Sammy, wot's the noime of that island where ye wuz born?" "Analostan Island, sah, was my native vicinity, sah." "Oi say, now, that's good, ye kneow. 'Royal Analostan, by Jove! The onliest pedigreed 'Royal Analostan' in the 'ole sheow, ye kneow. Ain't that foine?" and they mingled their cackles. "But we'll 'ave to 'ave a pedigree, ye kneow."
"In that case I'll have to promote him for it," he said with a smile that made her look away toward the mountains again. Saulisbury took a sudden turn to friendliness, and defended the action when the Major related the story that night at the dinner table, as they were seated over their coffee and cigars. He was dining with the Saulisburys. "It's uncommon plucky, that's what I think, d'ye kneow.
"Confeound the fellow," the young Englishman was saying, "I've discharged him. I cawn't re-engage him, ye kneow! We cawn't have a man abeout who gets drunk, y' kneow it's too bloody proveoking, Majah." "But the poor fellow's family, Saulisbury." "Oh, hang the fellow's family," laughed Saulisbury. "We are not a poorhouse, y' kneow or a house for inebriates.
"'T won't do, ye kneow, Sammy, to henter 'er as a tramp Cat, ye kneow," he observed to his help; "but it kin be arranged to suit the Knickerbockers. Nothink like a good noime, ye kneow. Ye see now it had orter be 'Royal' somethink or other nothink goes with the Knickerbockers like 'Royal' anythink. Now 'Royal Dick, or 'Royal Sam, 'ow's that? But 'owld on; them's Tom names.
Indeed, he had once gone the wild length of offering a Cat for exhibition at the Knickerbocker High Society Cat and Pet Show, with three not over-clear objects: first, to gratify his ambition; second, to secure the exhibitor's free pass; and, third, "well, you kneow, one 'as to kneow the valuable Cats, you kneow, when one goes a-catting."
By Jeove, I didn't think the young dog had it in him, really. He did one fellow up with a bucket, they say, and met the other fellow with his left. Where did the young beggah get his science?" "At college, I suppose." "But I suppeosed these little Western colleges were a milk-and-wahta sawt of thing, ye kneow Baptist and Christian Endeavor, and all that, ye kneow." "Oh, no," laughed the Major.
