The next day the president's carriage came again for the artist. Keogh went out for a walk along the beach, where he and his "picture box" were now familiar sights. When he returned to the hotel White was sitting in a steamer-chair on the balcony. "Well," said Keogh, "did you and His Nibs decide on the kind of a chromo he wants?" White got up and walked back and forth on the balcony a few times.
I wouldn't have nothin' to do with a feller that kept company that way, but I s'pose it's the style on Fifth Avenue. You know how I tell you, Ham, in the play that there's lots of things goin' on what you ain't on to. Well it's so. None of you was on to Rosie an' his nibs. You didn't ever guess it did you 'Pheleir?" "No," admitted Ophelia. "No, I never did." "Well it's so. You watch 'em.
But was it in accord with revolutionary ethics to be polite to a "kink"? Was it not his duty to do something to show his contempt for "kinks"? Maybe his Royal Nibs never had anybody to "stand up to him" in all his life before. Well, let him have it to-day! A nurse rushed into the ward in great excitement, and whispered, "They're coming!"
Tootles, the fairy Tink who is bent on mischief this night is looking for a tool, and she thinks you the most easily tricked of the boys. 'Ware Tinker Bell. Would that he could hear us, but we are not really on the island, and he passes by, biting his knuckles. Next comes Nibs, the gay and debonair, followed by Slightly, who cuts whistles out of the trees and dances ecstatically to his own tunes.
He generally managed to find someone to assume the duty for him; but one day everyone seemed engaged on some pursuit or other, so with every anticipation of a dull evening he went down to hall. He began to read Shelley but the surroundings were unpropitious. All about him sat huddled fragments of humanity scratching half-baked ideas with crossed nibs into dog-eared notebooks.
"Get him?" asked the Sapper. "Dunno, sir," answered the sniper, his eye still fixed to the telescope. "Three 'undred yards, and 'e ducked like 'ell. It wasn't far off 'is nibs, but one can't tell for sure." He got down and stretched himself. "I've waited 'alf an 'our for the perisher, too, without no breakfast."
"Have you met many of our great public men?" "Yais Yais Quite a few of the nibs Lloyid Gorge, I meet him. But " Beneath the matting a discontented expression came into his face, and his voice took on a peevish note. "But I not meet your real great men your Arbmishel, your Arreevadon I not meet them. That's what gives me the pipovitch. Have you ever met Arbmishel and Arreevadon?"
As the pirates advanced, the quick eye of Starkey sighted Nibs disappearing through the wood, and at once his pistol flashed out. But an iron claw gripped his shoulder. 'Captain, let go, he cried, writhing. Now for the first time we hear the voice of Hook. It was a black voice. 'Put back that pistol first, it said threateningly. 'It was one of those boys you hate. I could have shot him dead.
The air was sort of heavy and languorous, if you know what I mean, with the scent of Young England and boiled beef and carrots. Aunt Dahlia, who was sitting with a bevy of the local nibs in the second row, sighted me as I entered and waved to me to join her, but I was too smart for that.
"It was in Amsterdam that we first met her nibs," continued Kilgore, with a jerk of his thumb in the direction of Cervera, who was so engaged with Pylotte that neither heeded the talk at the table. "Yes, Dave, we met her just a year ago," nodded Dalton. "She was then doing her dances in a theater there, and we naturally got our peepers onto her diamonds," Kilgore went on to narrate.
