Perhaps we are disposed to smile at seeing so much made of titles; but after what we have learned of Lord Timothy Dexter and the high-sounding names appropriated by many of our own compatriots, who have no more claim to them than we plain Misters and Misseses, we may feel to them something as our late friend Mr.
The captain's words horrified us, they sounded so utterly evil, and foretold so plainly the suffering that was to come to us. He suddenly cut short his cursing, and turning, caught sight of us, men and mates, standing idle by the main fife rail. "What's this, Misters?" he sang out. "Going asleep on the job? Rush those dogs rush them! And send a man aft to the wheel a sailorman!
Take your stations and stand by to blast off." Spears, Coglin, and Duke jumped into the chairs and Tom walked around them eying them coldly. "Now, Misters," he said, "you are to blast off, make a complete circle of the Earth, and return to the Academy spaceport for a touchdown. Is that clearly understood?" "All clear," chorused the boys. "Stand by to raise ship!" bawled Tom.
Le Breton any longer; it isn't friendly: and, what's more, it isn't Christian. Why should there be these artificial barriers between soul and soul, eh, Selah? I shall call you Selah in future: it seems more genuine and heartfelt, and unencumbered with needless conventions, than your misters and misses. After all, why should we keep up such idle formalities between brethren and fellow-workers?
A Mamma, fair and fat; three young Misses, fair and fat; two young Misters, fair and fat; and a Papa, the fairest and the fattest of all, who is a mighty merchant, up to his eyes in gold a fine man once, but seeing that he has got a naked head and two chins, fine no longer at the present time. Now mind!
Here there was a playful note in her voice which the skipper detected. So she was making fun of his wealth and his pride. His dark face flushed with several disturbing emotions. To be addressed by the title of "mister" added to his discomfort. There were no misters in Chance Along or anywhere on the coast, except the Methodist preacher in Bay Bulls, away to the north.
Do you mind that I call you Aaron?" "Not at all. I hate Misters, always." "Yes, so do I. I like one name only." The little officer seemed very winning and delightful to Aaron this evening and Aaron began to like him extremely. But the dominating consciousness in the room was the woman's. "DO you agree, Mr. Sisson?" said the Marchesa.
Fisher," said the new seaman. "Cert'nly not," said the gratified cook; "only my name's Disher." The newcomer apologised with an urbanity that rendered Joe and old Ben speechless. They gazed at each other in silent consternation, and then Ben rose. "We don't want no misters 'ere," he said, curtly, "an' wot's more, we won't 'ave 'em. That chap's name's Bob, but we calls 'im Slushy.
But I was not very long in finding out, that at sea all officers are Misters, and would take it for an insult if any seaman presumed to omit calling them so.
I did not know you were in the regiment, Carruthers," the boys said warmly, pleased to find a face they had known before; and then breaking off: "I beg your pardon Mr. Carruthers." "There are no misters here as far as I am concerned, Scudamore. There were no misters at Eton. This is a change, isn't it? Better than grinding away at Greek by a long way. Well, I congratulate you on your fight.
