He would sit for hours with his expectant face pressed against the window-pane, and when he saw her coming down the shady road he was filled with a sense of impending comfort and joy. "No," he said hesitatingly, "she isn't pretty, nunky, but she's sweet and nice and dear.
"Blood and fury!" burst out Prince Rupert, fumbling for his sword, and then gazing, drunk and helpless. "Two hundred pound! Thou jackanapes " began Master Carter. "I'll let you off with fifty to-night," said I. "Ten thousand !" "No, fifty. Indeed, nunky," I went on, "'tis very simple. I was at the 'Crown' tavern " "At a tavern!" "Aye, at a game of dice " "Dice!" "Aye, and a young man was killed "

"He drove down to Colorado Springs to-day on business. At least he told me he was going. Don't know whether he expects to get back to-night or not. He lives at the Paradox Apartments," Jack said.
"Thou shameless puppy! A man murder'd!" "Aye, nunky; and the worst is they say 'twas I that kill'd him." "He's mad. The boy's stark raving mad!" exclaim'd my kinsman. "To come here in this trim!"

How-dy-do, Nunky?" and so the worthy pair went up to the card-room, where they sate at piquet until the hour of sunset and dinner arrived.
"Bravissimo! More, Master Carter more!" "O mammy, O nunky, here's cousin Jack Frog With a fa-la " I lifted my knuckles and tapp'd on the pane; whereon Prince Maurice starts up with an oath, and coming to the window, flings it open. "Pardon, your Highness," said I, and pull'd myself past him into the room, as cool as you please. 'Twas worth while to see their surprise.
While as for my kinsman, he sat with mouth wide and eyes starting, as tho' I were a very ghost. In the which embarrassment I took occasion to say, very politely "Good evening, nunky!" "Who the devil is this?" gasps Prince Rupert.
