Minikin to women of rotten reputation, the parties were reconciled to each other, and peace and concord re-established in the mess. Fathom acquired universal applause for his discreet and humane conduct upon this occasion; and that same afternoon had an opportunity of seeing the lady in whose cause he had exerted himself.
"It will be a lesson I shall never forget." "I know," said Minikin. "Nothing like a fair and square drunk for making you feel real good; better than a sermon." In my trouble I felt the need of advice; and Minikin, though my junior, was, I knew, far more experienced in worldly affairs than I was. "That's not the worst," I confided to him. "What do you think I've done?"
Our hero could not politely dispense with this instance of civility, and their ambassador being instantly introduced by the name of Captain Minikin, saluted him with great solemnity.
At length, however, General Macleaver undertook the office of purveyor for his prince; Captain Minikin insisted upon treating the Count; and in a little time the table was covered with a cloth, which, for the sake of my delicate readers, I will not attempt to describe.
"She accepted me, sir," returned Uncle Gutton, in a voice that would have awed any one but Minikin. "Can you give me any good reason for her not doing so?" "No need to get mad with me," explained Minikin. "I'm not blaming the poor woman. We all have our moments of despair." The unfortunate Clapper again exploded. Uncle Gutton rose to his feet. The ready Jarman saved the situation. "'Ear!
It was determined, therefore, that Minikin should return in an hour, when the Count would be dressed, in order to conduct him into the presence of his majesty; and he had already taken his leave for the present, when all of a sudden he came back, and taking hold of a waistcoat that lay upon a chair, "Sir," said he, "give me leave to look at that fringe; I think it is the most elegant knitting I ever saw.
He'll keep you going for twenty-four hours a day, and then offer you overtime at half salary." "I must get something to do," I confessed. "Sit down then," suggested Mr. Minikin. "Rest while you can." I took the chair; it was the only chair in the room, with the exception of the one Minikin was sitting on. "Apart from his being a bit of a driver," I asked, "what sort of a man is he?
"The reason is, Piccolissima does not now make a well of your thimble, nor a spade of your scissors," answered her brother; "she has become tiresome; she no longer frisks around me when I return home; she has no longer any droll fancies which once amused me so much; she is now a genuine doll; I really believe that this minikin is putting on airs."
"They've got their living to earn," retorted Uncle Gutton. I agreed with Uncle Gutton that life could not be wasted in vain regret. "As for the rest," admitted Uncle Gutton, handsomely, "I was wrong. You've turned out better than I expected you would." I thanked him for his improved opinion, and as we entered the restaurant we shook hands. Minikin we found there waiting for us.
Besides, if every girl is going to give up 'er catch just because the fellow 'adn't all 'is wits about 'im at the time well, what do you think?" He appealed to Minikin. To Minikin it appeared that if such contention were allowed girls might as well shut up shop.
