'Lovey, my dear, whispered Dennis, drawing his chair close to hers. 'When was your young man here last, eh? 'MY young man, good gentleman! answered Miggs in a tone of exquisite distress. 'Ah! Simmuns, you know him? said Dennis. 'Mine indeed! cried Miggs, with a burst of bitterness and as she said it, she glanced towards Dolly. 'MINE, good gentleman!
This was just what Mr Dennis wanted, and expected. 'Ah! he said, looking so soothingly, not to say amorously on Miggs, that she sat, as she afterwards remarked, on pins and needles of the sharpest Whitechapel kind, not knowing what intentions might be suggesting that expression to his features: 'I was afraid of that. I saw as much myself. It's her fault. She WILL entice 'em.
Then gliding out as before, she again beheld the retreating figure of the 'prentice; again he looked cautiously in at the parlour-door, but this time instead of retreating, he passed in and disappeared. Miggs was back in her room, and had her head out of the window, before an elderly gentleman could have winked and recovered from it.
'Oh no, you're not, mim, indeed you're not, said Miggs; 'I repeal to master; master knows you're not, mim. The hair, and motion of the shay, will do you good, mim, and you must not give way, you must not raly. She must keep up, mustn't she, sir, for all out sakes? I was a telling her that, just now. She must remember us, even if she forgets herself. Master will persuade you, mim, I'm sure.
Then when I knows what's to be got, it's queer if I don't manage to get it. Besides, they like a little notice, just as Christians does, and they remembers me because I treat them well." "An excellent plan, Miggs a capital plan!" said the senior partner. "You are an invaluable servant." "Well," the captain said, rising from his chair, "I'm getting a great deal too dry with all this palaver.
Let me tell you, sir, I, who have lived with him so long, dat I have met no man for whom I have greater respect than for the major, however much they give him pills at a club or other such snobberies." "Fill your glasses," Miggs broke in, pushing over the bottle of rum. "There are weeds in that box never paid duty, either the one or the other.
While his eyes were closed, the door leading to the upper stairs was partially opened; and a head appeared, which, at sight of him, hastily drew back again. 'I wish, murmured Gabriel, waking at the noise, and looking round the room, 'I wish somebody would marry Miggs. But that's impossible! I wonder whether there's any madman alive, who would marry Miggs!
'Take away, Miggs, said Mrs Varden, rising, 'take away, pray. I know I'm a restraint here, and as I wish everybody to enjoy themselves as they best can, I feel I had better go. 'No, no, Martha, cried the locksmith. 'Stop here. I'm sure we shall be very sorry to lose you, eh Joe! Joe started, and said 'Certainly. 'Thank you, Varden, my dear, returned his wife; 'but I know your wishes better.
This was none other than the redoubtable Captain Hamilton Miggs, whose ship will persistently keep afloat, to the astonishment of the gallant captain himself, and of every one else who knows anything of her sea-going qualities.
This Miggs was a tall young lady, very much addicted to pattens in private life; slender and shrewish, of a rather uncomfortable figure, and though not absolutely ill-looking, of a sharp and acid visage.
