CAPT. G. I couldn't get to my holster, and Mafflin came round the corner and stopped the performance. MRS. G. How? He's such a lazy man, I don't believe he did. CAPT. G. Don't you? I don't think the man had much doubt about it. Jack cut his head off. MRS. G. Cut his head off! 'With one blow, as they say in the books? CAPT. G. I'm not sure. I was too interested in myself to know much about it.
I knew one who was younger. CAPT. G. Then it couldn't have been Mrs. Herriott. She was old enough to have been your mother, dear. MRS. G. I remember now. Mrs. Scargill was talking about her at the Duffins' tennis, before you came for me, on Tuesday. Captain Mafflin said she was a 'dear old woman. Do you know, I think Mafflin is a very clumsy man with his feet.
Julaper; and I know I'm to blame." "That's quite right, that's spoken like a wise lad; only I don't say you're to blame, nor no one; for folk can't help frettin' sometimes, no more than they can help a headache none but a mafflin would say that and I'll not deny but he has dowly ways when the fit's on him, and he frumps us all round, if such be his humour. But who is there hasn't his faults?
You won't be able to put it into your mouth, but you can try. MRS. G. Oh, Captain Mafflin, I am so sorry! Jack, you bad, bad little villain. Ahhh! M. It's not the least consequence, I assure you. He'd treat the world in the same way if he could get it into his hands. Everything's made to be played with and broken, isn't it, young 'un?
And the same fella telt me he was mad in luv wi' me, and his fadder was there, and his sister, and they came all the way from Catstean Castle to see me that night; and that's t' other side o' Gouden Friars." "Come, lass, yer no mafflin; tell me true. What was he like? Was his feyace grimed wi' sut? a tall fella wi' wide shouthers, and lukt like an ill-thing, wi' black clothes amaist in rags?"
MRS. G. Mafflin didn't at all like his watch being broken, though he was too polite to say so. It was entirely his fault for giving it to the child. Dem little puds are werry, werry feeble, aren't dey, my Jack-in-de-box? G. Regimental shop as usual. MRS. G. The Regiment! Always the Regiment. On my word, I sometimes feel jealous of Mafflin. I don't think you need.
Only only you get up and walk about the room, staring in front of you, and then Mafflin comes in to dinner, and after I'm in the drawing-room I can hear you and him talking, and talking, and talking, about things I can't understand, and oh, I get so tired and feel so lonely! I don't want to complain and be a trouble, Pip; but I do indeed I do! CAPT. G. My poor darling! I never thought of that.
'Twas seen another time by market-folk crossin' fra Gyllenstan in the self-same place; and Snakes Island got a bad neam, and none cared to go nar it after nightfall." "Do you know anything of that Feltram that has been with him abroad?" asked the Doctor. "They say he's no good at anything a harmless mafflin; he was a long gaumless gawky when he went awa," said Richard Turnbull.
