"Well," Josie continues, "I'm simply not going to send them out until I meet him. Father said I could give it a week from Saturday, but I won't unless " Bessie interrupts, again inaudibly. "Of course I could do that, but ... if I just said 'Miss Carpenter and guests' that nosey old Homer Littlejohn'd think I meant him too, and if I only said 'guest' it'd look too pointed. Don't you think so?"
"Oo's goin' to stop me, Mister Nosey Parker?" sneered the boy, with a flourish of his axe. "I am," said Angel, "'cos it's my dog, see?" He coolly turned his back on the boy and bent over the terrier, who came to him cautiously, sniffing his legs. "Your dorg!" scoffed the boy, "w'y daon't yer feed 'im then? 'E's arf starved, 'e is. Yer ought to be 'ad up fer perwention of cruelty to hanimals.
"That tune was the one the old cow died of, I'm sure," replied Tom. "Come, old Nosey, strike up again." "Nosey, from nasus truly, it is a fair epithet; and it remindeth me that my nose suffered in the fall which I received just now. Yet I cannot sing having no words " "Nor tune, either, master," replied old Tom; "so here goes for you
His first thought was that his plan had been sprung, and that the murder was out. The chief addressed Julia in a tone of authority, imitating the counsel for the crown when examining a prevaricating witness. "Now, missus, remember you will be put on your oath. You said just now, 'Oh, Nosey, you murdering villain, you know you ought to be hanged. Those were your very words. Now what did you mean?
At last the front door, which I had ta'en care to shut after me, opened, and I look't to see wha it could be, thinking that, nae doubt, it was Mr. Weft, or his apprentice. It was neither the ane nor the ither, but a strong middle-aged, red-faced Heelandman, wi' specks on, and wi' a kilt and a bannet, by a' the world like my monkey's. Now, what think ye Nosey was about a' this time?
Thus backed up, the old robber, who had formerly been a sailor, continued to unbind my hands, while Nosey replaced his pistol without further remonstrance. I knelt by the side of the dying man, but he was past consciousness, and no longer appeared to heed what was going on around.
Brother Green, known familiarly among us because of his facial peculiarity as Nosey Green the gentleman piled up over there on the other side of the road was as noble-hearted a man as ever lived; so was Brother Michael, whom you met in all the pride of his manly strength only this morning at the Forest Queen bar.
The Writer gave the surface of the parchment a preparatory rub with a piece of indiarubber. "Well, come on R. C., Church of England, Methodist . . . ?" Nosey selected the second alternative. It sounded patriotic at all events. "Next o' kin? Nearest relative?" "Never 'ad none," replied Nosey haughtily. "I'm a norfun." "Ain't you got no one?" asked the weary Writer.
The glances of hate and scorn which were cast upon their betrayer appeared to have no effect upon his well-tried nerves, and he seemed to act as though he had done his duty and was not ashamed of it, and didn't care who knew the part which he had played in the drama. The death of Nosey, however, appeared to astonish Steel Spring, for when he was allowed to see the body he grew pathetic.
The robber rushed towards the woods, and it seemed as though he would escape in spite of the loaded guns which we carried in our hands; but one of the men, more cool than the rest of us, discharged his carbine, and the ball struck the right leg of Nosey, and crushed the bone as easily as though it was a pipe stem.
