As he stood, as nearly dreaming as it was possible for him to be, he became conscious of the figure of a man running hastily towards him from the direction of the roadway. "Mate! For the love of God! Is there any women about?" the man exclaimed as he came near. "Women?" Taylor repeated vacantly. "Yes, women," the man replied. "My missus's been took bad down there by the dray, and if there ain't "
What with the dreadful state of morals nowadays and them stories in the circulating libraries, innocent girls don't know into what society they might be obliged to take situations. Never saw missus's marriage certificate, though I have quite accidental-like looked in her desk when open, and would have seen it. Do not know of any lovers missus might have had.
But she's a good soul." With this comforting reflection Mrs Durby proceeded to obey her "missus's" commands.
"Impossible, my lad; I am dripping with dye from head to foot; I should cover missus's floor with green." "So much the better. It will remind me of the fields I like so much." "Without joking, Agricola, I must speak to you immediately." "About the spy, eh? Oh, be easy; what's he to us?" "No; I think he's gone; at any rate, the fog is so thick I can't see him. But that's not it come, come quickly!
Dabb had told his men that he was expecting a nephew "of his missus's," and that "he was took on as a kind of charity like." Mr. Dabb now appeared. "Here you are all right. Sharp's the word that's my motter. Keep on your coat and hat you'll want 'em, I can tell you. This isn't a place for coddlin', is it, Bill?" Bill smiled.
Aunt Deborah had not left the house since our return from Dangerfield. She looked worn and old, but had the same kind smile, the same measured accents as ever. Though she endured a good deal of pain and was kept in close confinement, she never complained: patient and quiet, she had a kind word for every one; and even her maid avowed that "missus's" temper was that of an angel.
The cook and butler, who were advanced in years, thought that it was just as it should be; but the footman and lady's maid, who were younger, thought it was a great shame that Mr Slope should lose his chance. 'He's a mean chap all the same, said the footman; 'and it an't along of him that I says so. But I always did admire the missus's sister; and she'd well become the situation.
You see, a sister of the missus is coming down on a visit for a month or two, and we ain't got anywhere to put her, except in your room. I wish the missus's relations to blazes! I didn't marry the whole blessed family; but it seems I've got to keep them." Pause very awkward and painful for poor Brown. Discouraging silence from Steelman.
"Good morning," he said briskly and cheerfully. "From the Hampstead Borough Council. The new Voting Register. Mrs. Edgar Keith lives here, does she not?" "Yaas," said the servant. "Christian name?" asked Tommy, his pencil poised. "Missus's? Eleanor Jane." "Eleanor," spelt Tommy. "Any sons or daughters over twenty-one?" "Naow." "Thank you." Tommy closed the notebook with a brisk snap.
Accordingly, when they reached the little town, and while the post-horses were getting ready which were to take him on the next stage of his journey, Richard called for some liquor. "Here's your good health, Sir," said the man, and added, in a roguish whisper, "and our young missus's too, Sir." "By all means," said Richard, coolly. "But why couple hers with mine?"
