It was merely 'Little Belloni. She had forgotten this piece of artifice: but when she saw him start at the opening of the door, keeping a sheepish watch in that direction, "By'n-by," she said, with a nod; and shortly afterward unfolded her object in summoning him from his London labours: "A widde-woman ought to get marrud, Mr. Braintop, if onnly to have a husband to write letters for 'rr.
Braintop!" sounded over the stairs, and "Mr. Braintop!" into the street. The maid brought Mrs. Chump her bonnet. Night had fallen; and nothing but the greatest anxiety to recover Braintop would have tempted her from her house. She made half-a-dozen steps, and then stopped to mutter, "Oh! if ye'd onnly come, I'd forgive ye indeed I would!"
"Now take a chop, Pole, and show your appetite," she said. "'A Chump- chop, my love? my little man used to invite me of a mornin'; and that was the onnly joke he had, so it's worth rememberin'." A chop was placed before Mr. Pole. He turned it in his plate, and wonderingly called to mind that he had once enjoyed chops.
"And he said," she cried out in her lonely room "he said, 'Martha, ye've onnly to come and be known to 'm, and then they'll take to the ideea. And wasn't I a patient creature! And it's Pole that's turned Pole!" Varied with the frequent 'Oh! and 'Augh! these dramatic monologues occupied her time while the yacht was sailing for her Devon bay.
She has privily sung to her Pericles, and ser, and if I wake not very late on Judgement. Day, I shall zen hear but why should I talk poetry to you, to make you laugh? I have a divin' passion for zat woman. Do I not give her to a husband, and say, Be happy! onnly sing! Be kissed! be hugged! onnly give Pericles your voice.
Why, where's the secret? drink with 'm, to be sure! And you go and do that, my lord doctor, my dear Mr. Doctor! Do ut all round, and your patients 'll bless your feet." Why, isn't cheerful society and champagne the vary best of medicines, if onnly the blood 'll go of itself a little? The fault's in his legs; he's all right at top! if he'd smooth his hair a bit. Checking her tongue, Mrs.
Wilfrud, becas I'm a widde and just an abom'nation to garls, poor darlin's! And twenty shindies per dime we've been havin', and me such a placable body, if ye'll onnly let m' explode. I'm all powder, avery bit! and might ha' been christened Saltpetre, if born a boy. She hasn't so much as a shot to kill a goose, says Chump, poor fella! But he went, anyway. I must kiss somebody when I talk of 'm.
Lots o' words it's onnly as if ye peppered me, and I sneeze, and that's all; but a name sticks to yer back like a bit o' pinned paper. Don't call me a name," and she wriggled pathetically. "Yes," said Wilfrid, "I shall call you Pole." "Oh! ye sweetest of young fellas!" Mrs. Chump threw out her arms.
Chump retreated from his shoulder, the woman's comic reverence for his occupation the prim movement of her lips while she repeated mutely the words she supposed he might be penning touched him to laughter. At once Mrs. Chump seized on the paper. "Young ladus," she read aloud, "yours of the 2nd, the 14th, and 21st ulto. The 'ffection I bear to your onnly remaining parent."
She has privily sung to her Pericles, and ser, and if I wake not very late on Judgement. Day, I shall zen hear but why should I talk poetry to you, to make you laugh? I have a divin' passion for zat woman. Do I not give her to a husband, and say, Be happy! onnly sing! Be kissed! be hugged! only give Pericles your voice.
