James queried respectfully. "Lydy Elling Treffinger give it to Mr. Rossiter to take down to Oxford for some lectures he's been agiving there." "Did he never paint out his studies, then?" asked MacMaster with perplexity. "Here are two completed ones for this picture. Why did he keep them?" "I don't know as I could say as to that, sir," replied James, smiling indulgently, "but that was 'is way.
"Ow, Gaw' blimme, let hup! Hi never meant northin'! A lie Ow, yuss a lie! She's a proper lydy Hi never 'eard the hother Gaw' strike me blind!" The man with the scar cast the fellow contemptuously away; and Cockney lost no time in putting the distance of the room between them. The big man turned on the Swede, and his voice was sharp and commanding. "Swede, does the Golden Bough sail to-morrow?"
Folly stopped in her tracks. Her face went suddenly livid with rage. "No lydy!" she cried in the most directly expressive of all idioms. "If I wasn't a perfect lydy, I'd slap your blankety blank little blank." At each word of the virile repartee of Cockneydom coming so incongruously from those soft lips, Lewis's heart went down and down in big, jolting bumps.
Regarding her thus attired, Millicent's great admiration became an even greater awe. "Why, you look the perfect lydy," she said in a hushed voice. "If I'm a red Deeping, I'm of the oldest blood in England, and I must be a lady. Mr. Ruffin says so," said Pollyooly in the tone of one quite sure of herself.
When Nathan talked of these things he would add, with a sigh, that he hoped some day William would be inspired to tell them something more of Sister Lydia: "Once William said, 'Coming, coming. I think it meant Lydia; but Eldress thought it was Athalia; it was just before she came." Brother Nathan sighed. "I wish it had meant Lydy," he said, simply.
The house-surgeon of a London hospital was attending to the injuries of a poor woman whose arm had been severely bitten. As he was dressing the wound he said, "I cannot make out what sort of animal bit you. This is too small for a horse's bite, and too large for a dog's." "O sir," replied the patient, "it wasn't an animal; it was another lydy." Surely the force of Urbanity could no further go.
"Yes, Fantail, I quite understand. He's been sick and now he's getting better. Go with mother!" Fan was exchanged for Mrs. Mansfield and vanished, speaking slowly and continuously about Masterman's internal condition and "the new lydy," while Mrs. Mansfield took off her fur coat and looked around her and at Heath.
Then 'e opened 'is eyes an' looked long and 'ard at Lydy Elling. "'Of course I'll try to do as you'd wish about the picture, 'Ugh, if that's w'at's troublin' you, she says quiet. With that 'e closed 'is eyes and 'e never opened 'em. He died unconscious at four that mornin'. "You see, sir, Lydy Elling was always cruel 'ard on the Marriage.
'E never went in on anythink so 'ard before nor since, till 'e went in on the Marriage there though 'e mostly went in on things pretty keen; 'ad the measles when 'e was thirty, strong as cholera, an' come close to dyin' of 'em. 'E wasn't strong for Lydy Elling's set; they was a bit too stiff for 'im.
And if two thoroughly silly people can't impose upon one sensible old man, it will be very strange indeed. And now I'm going to tell you what I hadn't time to tell you yesterday." She leaned forward and tapped sharply on the rattling glass in front of the cab. The cabman, bending down, twisted his whiskers towards her. "Don't go too fast." "I can't get 'im to fall down agyne, lydy.
