But if there's justice in heaven, that is, in Paris, if there's law in France, and blighted hopes are compensated in this country as they are at home, the hussy shall smart for it. Directly I'm married myself, I'll bring an action against her for breach of promise. Susan. Married yourself, sir? Nokes. Of course I'm going to be married, at once, immediately, within the week.
But it isn't just that which I want to say; such talking rarely does any good." "What is it, then?" "You may perhaps be right about that man Nokes." "No doubt I may. I know I'm right. When I asked him whether he'd been at my shed, what made him say that he hadn't been there at night- time? I said nothing about night-time. But the man was there at night-time, or he wouldn't have used the word."
"And so has Nokes done with him." "Nokes is at work on Medlicot's Mill. That sugar business wouldn't suit me." "An axe in your hand is what you're fit for, Bos." "There's a many things I can turn my hand to, Mr. Jerry. You couldn't give a fellow such a thing as a nobbler, Mr. Jerry, could you? I'd offer money for it, only I know it would be taken amiss.
You will stand at the altar when your time comes, with Brown and Jones, Nokes and Styles, Jack and Gill. All that you will have to do is, to take care that your young lady doesn't fall to Jack, and you to Gill, by mistake and there you are, married by banns. My friend's opinion, stated in his own words." Natalie sighed, and wrung her hands in her lap.
Jerry was bruised and burned about the face by his fall among the ashes, and did not much relish the work afterward. Boscobel was stunned for a few moments, and was quite ready to retreat when he came to himself. Nokes during the whole time did not show himself, alleging as a reason afterward the presence of his employer Medlicot.
For when we say, John Nokes and the mayor of the town died yesterday, we make two assertions: one, that John Nokes died yesterday; the other, that the mayor of the town died yesterday.
Jerry was taken away in a sad condition; and, in subsequent accounts of the transaction given from Boolabong, his fall was put forward as the reason of their flight, he having been the general on the occasion. And Boscobel had certainly lost all stomach for immediate fighting. Immediately behind the battle-field they come across Nokes, and Sing Sing, the runaway cook from Gangoil.
Nokes was a big fellow, with a broad, solid face, which would not have condemned him among physiognomists but for a bad eye, which could not look you in the face. He had been a boundary rider for Heathcote, and on an occasion had been impertinent, refusing to leave the yard behind the house unless something was done which those about the place refused to do for him.
The men who were acting female characters upon the London stage when that institution was revived immediately after the Restoration were Kynaston, James Nokes, Angel, William Betterton, Mosely, and Floid. Kynaston, it is said, could act a woman so well that when at length women themselves began to appear as actors it was for some time doubted whether any one of them could equal him.
Susan [aside]. I can never tell her that, for she is a Frenchwoman, and wouldn't believe it. I'll tell her something more melodramatic. I'll say that Mr. Nokes is my father, who has suddenly recognized and discovered his long-lost child. Madame, c'est mon père longtemps absent, qui vous en prie d'accepter ses remerciments pour votre bonté
