'None of your mistering, replied the ruffian; 'you always mean mischief when you come that. You know my name: out with it! I shan't disgrace it when the time comes. 'Well, well, then Bill Sikes, said the Jew, with abject humility. 'You seem out of humour, Bill.
"You've been calling me Bryce for the past twenty years, and now you're mistering me! The meaning of this row, you ask?" Bryce continued. "Well, I'm engaged in making a jump-crossing of Colonel Pennington's tracks, under a temporary franchise granted me by the city of Sequoia. Here's the franchise." And he thrust the document under the police chief's nose.
"Then, sir come and eat," he answered, "and don't go 'mistering' me; I'm Tinker Jarvis and Jerry to my friends." "Then please don't call me 'sir' my name is Peregrine."
Elden's, but what was it he said about 'mistering'? It would be splendid if it were cleaned up," she continued, with kindling enthusiasm. "These bare logs, bare floors, bare rafters we've got back to essentials, anyway. And that's his bed." She surveyed a framework of spruce poles, on which lay an old straw mattress and some very grey blankets.
"As if you hadn't made things difficult enough already by 'Mistering' yourself. At any moment you may be found out though, on second thoughts, it won't matter a rap if you are. If you're a mere Mister, you are often obliged to appear before an unsympathetic police magistrate for pretending to be a Lord. But I never heard of a Lord's falling foul of the law for pretending to be a Mister."
"Dere is som greater roag dan me, mosh greater." "Fellow," said I, "don't stand grinning before a gentleman; but give me my hat and cloak, and let me leave your filthy den." "Shtop, Shtubbsh," says he, not even Mistering me this time. "Here ish a letter, vich you had better read." I opened the letter; something fell to the ground: it was my cheque. The letter ran thus: "Messrs.
"Well! Mr. George, then " " Mr. George!" "When papa and mamma are here, I suppose there need be no mistering," says Theo, looking out of the window, ever so little frightened. "And what have you been doing, sir? Reading books, or writing more of your tragedy? Is it going to be a tragedy to make us cry, as we like them, or only to frighten us, as you like them?"
Lem Wacker flushed and winced, for the pointed question struck home. "I don't want no mistering!" he growled. "Lem's good enough for me. And I don't take no call-down from any stuck-up kid, I want you to understand that." "You'd better get to the crossing if you're making any pretense of real work," suggested Bart just then.
He pretended to frown at me. "Don't get into any bad habit of mistering me, Master," he said. "You'd better begin by calling me Uncle Dick from the start and then you won't have the trouble of changing. Because it would come to that it always does. But come in, come in! There's a gate round here. I want to get acquainted with you. I have a taste for schoolmasters. "It's an acquired taste."
If you were to go out on the ranges and begin mistering the cow-punchers, like as not they'd lead you into camp at a rope-end. No man really makes much of a hit in this country until everybody calls him by his first name." "Well, Mr. Elden seems to have made a hit, as you call it, with some of his acquaintances," said Mrs. Hardy, with a touch of acidity.
