"I allus sez as you've got a dead eye fer the tack-head ev'ry time. But go easy, or the boss'll bar you on the slate." "Don't owe him nuthin'," growled Slum. "Which ain't or'nary in this company," observed the smiling Carney; he loved to get Slum angry. "Say, Shaky," he went on, "how do Slum fix you in his hotel? You don't seem bustin' wi' vittals."
"You're workin' yourself into them up-in-the-clouds, reef-point-patterin' regions again which, by the way, should be pretty well choked wi' Krakatoa dust by this time. Come down out o' that if ye want to hold or'nary intercourse wi' your old father. She's far too young yet, my boy. You must just do as many a young fellow has done before you, attend to your dooties and forget her."
"An' did you camp for the night?" "No. At least I rested but one hour." "Then swallow some grub an' make your mind easy. They won't be here for some hours yet, for you've come on at a rate that no party of men could beat, I see that clear enough unless they was mounted." "But a few of the chief men were mounted, Paul." "Pooh! that's nothing. Chief men won't come on without the or'nary men.
"To see two strong men stand up o' their own accord an' hammer their two noses into somethin' like plum duff, an' their two daylights into one, ain't more nor a or'nary seaman can stand; but to see a plucky little bull set to gore an' rip up a lot o' poor blinded horses, with a lot o' cowardly beggars eggin' it on, an' stickin' darts all over it, an' the place reekin' wi' blood, an' the people cheerin' like mad why it it made me a'most sea-sick, which I never was in my life yet.
This had necessarily brought him into close relations with the people of Red Wing, who had welcomed Mollie with an interest half proprietary in its character. Was she not their Miss Mollie? Had she not lived in the old "Or'nary," taught in their school, advised, encouraged, and helped them?
Mixed wi' thistles, mebbe? An' then he used a bit of 'is master's or'nary language, which as ye knows, Passon, is chice partic'ler chice. 'Evil communications c'rupts good manners' even in a valet wot 'as no more to do than wash an' comb a man like a 'oss, an' pocket fifty pun a year for keepin' of 'is haristocratic master clean. Lor'! what a wurrld it is! what a wurrld!"
"What! all on us?" exclaimed Hockins, with elevated eyebrows. "Yis all." "Oh! nonsense," he cried, turning to Mark. "It must be you, doctor, she wants to see. What can she want with a or'nary seaman like me?" "Or a extraor'nary nigger like me?" said Ebony, with a look of extreme contempt.
There was HIS stone HIS, RICHELIEU'S, OWN SPECIMEN, carefully gathered by himself and none other and now stolen, abstracted, "skyugled," "smouged," "hooked" by this "rotten, skunkified, long-legged, splay-footed, hoss-laughin', nigger-toothed, or'nary despot" And, worse than all, actually made to do infamous duty as a "love token" a "candy-gift!" a "philanderin' box" to HIS, Richelieu's, girl for Louise belonged to that innocent and vague outside seraglio of Richelieu's boyish dreams and put atop of a letter to her! and Providence permitted such an outrage!
"W'y, yes, Miss. Or'nary trains they run between twenty and forty miles an hour, though sometimes in goin' down inclines they git up to fifty; but my 'usband averages sixty miles an hour, an' on some parts o' the line 'e gits up the speed to sixty-five an' siventy. For my own part I'm quite hignorant of these things.
Again Captain Cable spoke first. "Provided it's nothing underhand," he said, "I'm ready and willing. Or'nary risks of the sea, Queen's enemies, act o' God them's my risks! I am uninsured. Ship's my own. I don't mind explosives " "There are explosives," admitted the banker. "Then they must be honest explosives, or they don't go below my hatches.
