There was Terrence the Magnificent descended, as Van Horn remembered, from the American-bred Milton Droleen, out of the Queen of County Antrim, Breda Muddler, which royal bitch, as every one who is familiar with the stud book knows, goes back as far as the almost mythical Spuds, with along the way no primrose dallyings with black-and-tan Killeney Boys and Welsh nondescripts.
He might claim damages of, let us say, £7,000,000 or even £10,000,000, for he is a man of gigantic interests, claiming these damages on the score that his alleged libellers have injured his reputation as a man of business in all quarters of the world. They would have him the craziest muddler and the most easily swindled imbecile outside Fleet Street where alone wisdom is to be found.
What Berande needs is good American hustle. You don't know what that is. You are a muddler. Besides, you are enervated. I'm fresh to the climate. Let me be your partner, and you'll see me rattle the dry bones of the Solomons. Confess, I've rattled yours already." "I should say so," he answered. "Really, you know, you have. I never received such a dressing-down in my life.
Some one who is responsible for that body of men sweats blood and swears hatred to the muddler who is to blame. How clearly sounds the exhaust of the locomotives in the Bolo camp on the nearby railroad. Will their outguards hear us? Courage, men, we must get on. This is a fine end. D that unverified old map the Colonel has. It did not show this lake that baffles our further struggles to advance.
The one you think it is one of the large double pale ones; I told you at the time we put them away, but you have got mixed, I expect." "Ah, yes, of course," Mr. Gillat said; "I remember now; of course, I remember." The Captain swallowed something, but contrived to keep quiet, and only darted a glance at Johnny, the muddler, whose information could never be depended on.
I daresay he'd a bin Prime Minister in no time- -he's just the sort. They likes a good old muddler for that work someone as has the knack o' addlin' the people's brains an' makin' them see a straight line as though'twere crooked. It keeps things quiet an' yet worrity-like first up, then down this way, then that way, an' never nothin' certain, but plenty o' big words rantin' round.
"Yes, madam, that is my name," was his reply. "I have come, Mr. Muddler," the woman then said, with an effort to smile and affect a polite air, "to thank you for a present I received last night." "Thank me, madam! There certainly must be some mistake. I never made you a present. Indeed, I have not the pleasure of your acquaintance." "You said your name was Muddler, I believe?"
By the way, it's rather a relief that you aren't quite so wanting as I was beginning to fear; seriously, I was wondering how on earth you were going to get through this difficult world. There's no remedy for a muddler; he can't mend." But a swindler can; a swindler certainly must, that was conveyed by the appeal in Peter's tired face.
I am sensitive about my honest poverty. So, darling Nutty, my precious Nutty, you poor boneheaded muddler, will you kindly think up at your earliest convenience some plan for politely ejecting this Mr Chalmers of yours from our humble home? because if you don't, I'm going to have a nervous breakdown. And, completely restored to good humour by her own eloquence, Elizabeth burst out laughing.
The minister paused at this question, and looked his companion steadily in the face. Then raising his long, thin finger to give force to his remark, he said with deep emphasis "Thou art the man!" "Me, Mr. Mildman! me!" exclaimed the tavern-keeper, in surprise and displeasure. "You surely cannot be in earnest." "I utter but a solemn truth, Mr. Muddler: such is your position in society!
