Nothing like making sure," said he, chuckling at his own acuteness. "Now to 'orse to 'orse!" exclaimed he, suiting the action to the word, and climbing on to his great chestnut, leaving the Yorkshireman to mount the rat-tail brown. "Let's have a look at the 'ounds", turning his horse in the direction in which they were coming.
Suppose I go shore after they all drunk, I spile the casks in three or four places, and in the morning all wine gone den dey ab get sober, and beg pardon we take dem on board, put away all arms 'cept yours and mine, and I like to see the mutiny after dat. Blood and 'ounds but I settle um, anyhow." "The idea is very good, Mesty why should we not do so?"
I was driving to Croydon one morning in my four-wheeled one-'oss chay, and just as I got to Lilleywhite, the blacksmith's, below Brixton Hill, they had thrown up a drain a 'gulph' I may call it across the road for the purpose of repairing the gas-pipe I was rayther late as it was, for our 'ounds are werry punctual, and there was nothing for me but either to go a mile and a half about, or drive slap over the gulph.
'Oh, the osses be nicely, sir, replied Leather; 'they travelled down uncommon well, and I've had 'em both removed sin they com'd, so either on 'em is fit to go i' the mornin' that you think proper. 'Where are the hounds? asked our hero. ''Ounds be at Whirleypool Windmill, replied Leather, 'that's about five miles off. 'What sort of country is it? inquired Sponge.
It was the kennel, stable, and servants' hall courier of Nonsuch House, come to say that Sir Harry hunted that day. Presently Mr. Leather knocked at Mr. Sponge's bedroom door, and, being invited in, announced the fact. 'Sir 'Arry's 'ounds 'unt, said he, twisting the door handle as he spoke. 'What time? asked Mr. Sponge, with his half-shaven face turned towards him.
Just as the fog began to rise, I saw a henormous wolf, about a hundred yards or so from me, busy tearing a body to pieces; and taking a good steady haim at him, I fired, when he called out: "'Blood and ounds! you cowardly furrin rascal, haven't you had your belly-full of fighting yet, that you must be after murthering a wounded man that way?
"Now be after getting up," said Jorrocks, "for time and the Surrey 'ounds wait for no man. That's not a werry elegant tit, but still it'll carry you to Croydon well enough, where I'll put you on a most undeniable bit of 'orse-flesh a reg'lar clipper. That's a hack what they calls three-and-sixpence a side, but I only pays half a crown.
'I shall expect you to ride up to the 'ounds, young gent, observed Watchorn, darting an angry look at the speaker. 'Won't I, old boy! exclaimed George; 'ride over you, if you don't get out of the way. ''Deed, sneered the huntsman, whisking about to leave the room; muttering, as he passed behind the large Indian screen at the door, something about 'jawing jackanapes, well called Cheek.
Why, even my Lord Scamperdale was 'bliged to give it up, and no man rides harder than my Lord Scamperdale always goes as if he had a spare neck in his pocket. But he couldn't 'unt a pack of 'ounds.
"P'r'aps now, miss, you'd be good enough to step aside and let the 'ounds attend to business." But Avery, with eyes that blazed in her pale face, made scathing answer. "You shan't kill the poor brute like a rat in a trap. He deserves better than that. You had your chance of killing in the open, and you failed. It isn't sport to kill in the dark."
