"Wot are you talking about, Ginger?" ses Peter. "Did she smack your face too?" ses Ginger. "Yes," ses Peter. "They're as like as two peas, him and 'is brother," said the night- watchman, gazing blandly at the indignant face of the lighterman on the barge below; "and the on'y way I know this one is Sam is because Bill don't use bad langwidge.
But that's jest the ignorant bums that ain't got no more learnin' than'll let 'em lose their cents reg'lar at 'draw. Ther's others who don't jest use langwidge only their feet. Then ther's the foreman, Lal Hobhouse. Mebbe you ain't acquainted yet you bein' new around these parts. He's a fine bully feller till he gits mad. Then he's mean, ma'am. Guess he's most as mean as a skunk.
"The miser'ble hash-slinger," exploded the exasperated Sandy, springing to his feet, his eyes blazing with impotent fury. "Sit down," commanded the president. "This yere is a proper meetin' of the Zip Trust, an' don't call fer no langwidge ag'in a defenseless woman." "Then she ain't no right to say things," cried the outraged man. "She ain't.
I have been requested to tell my story in my own langwidge, though, being no schollard, mind cannot conceive. I think my master is a brute. Do not know that he has ever attempted to poison my missus, which is too good for him, and how she ever came to marry him, heart only can tell, but believe him to be capable of any such hatrosity.
"I didn't size up the Earl, so I let it go at that, but I did see the other guy beg pardon, sir, I mean the other gentleman an' he'll be lucky if he gets to bed to-night without being clubbed by a policeman. Someone has been at him already hard at him an' I'm not surprised, for his langwidge reminded me of my best days at sea." "William!" "What, sir? Oh, I meant my young days, of course.
"Think I'm blind, think I'm deaf. Me! Say, you shown it right along jest so plain ther' wer'n't no need to tell it in langwidge." He broke off for a moment as though his anger had robbed him of further speech, and Joan watched the growing purpose in his hot eyes. Her own face was the color of marble. She was inwardly trembling, but she stood her ground with eyes stonily cold.
Now I don't want none o' your langwidge, and I don't want you follering me like a couple o' cats arter a meat-barrer. I shall be 'aving a cup o' tea at Brown's coffee-shop by and by, and if you're there at five sharp I'll see wot I can do for you. Wot did you call me? "Ginger told 'im three times, and then Peter Russet dragged 'im away.
I'm the future owner of the Diamond Dot, an' I ain't a-layin' no plans to have the lala-kadinks from the civilized parts o' this country come out an' round up my langwidge, same as they gather Injun speciments. You may be my father, but you can just bet your saddle that before I reach the end o' my trail, a stranger won't be able to guess it from our talk."
"He's rather jerky now 'count of his not knowin' our langwidge very well, for one thing, an' from bein' in th' habit of concealin' his thoughts from white men like all other Injuns for another thing."
"They're as like as two peas, him and 'is brother," said the night- watchman, gazing blandly at the indignant face of the lighterman on the barge below; "and the on'y way I know this one is Sam is because Bill don't use bad langwidge. Twins they are, but the likeness is only outside; Bill's 'art is as white as snow." He cut off a plug of tobacco, and, placing it in his cheek, waited expectantly.
