I got to thinkin' as 'ow there was a debt 'anging over us all, some'ow the sky seemed like a sort of upper floor to all our 'ouses, with the stars an' the moon for windows, an' it seemed like as if there did oughter be some rent to pay, though the Landlord was a reel gent and never pressed for it.
Them palanquins are as big as 'ouses, an' uncommon 'ard to sell, as McCleary said when ye stole the sentry-box from the Curragh. 'Who's goin' to do t' fightin'? said Learoyd, and Ortheris subsided. The three returned to barracks without a word. Mulvaney's last argument clinched the matter. This palanquin was property, vendible, and to be attained in the simplest and least embarrassing fashion.
"That is not my 'abit, Miss, not 'ere nor in hany of the 'ouses where I 'ave seen service...." The butler broke off. The h's were too much for him in his indignation. "I didn't mean to suggest anything underhand," the girl said quickly. "I mean, did you hear any more?" "No, Miss. I emptied the letter-box and took the letters to the servants' hall."
But he worn't their father, Mrs. Jack bein' a widder or said so. They're only 'alves and 'alves ain't no good in law; so inter Chancery those 'ouses 'll go, come a twelvemonth yo may take it at that!" Diana laughed a young spontaneous laugh the first since she had come home.
Fitzgerald 'avin' money in the bank, and everythin' respectable like a gentleman as 'e is, tho', to be sure, your bill might come down on him unbeknown, 'e not 'avin' kept it in mind, which it ain't everybody as 'ave sich a good memory as my aunt on my mother's side, she 'avin' been famous for 'er dates like a 'istory, not to speak of 'er multiplication tables, and the numbers of people's 'ouses."
"It's 'eartrending, isn't it, sir," he said, "to picture the quantity of reelly lovely medeevial stuff of this kind that lays well-nigh unnoticed in many of our residential country 'ouses: much of it in peril, I take it, of being cast aside as so much rubbish. What is it Shakespeare says unconsidered trifles. Ah, I often say he 'as a word for us all, sir.
Perhaps you'll explain how there's no harm breakin' into unoccupied 'ouses?" "Gorblimy, 'ow was I to know? 'Ere's a toff 'ands me sixpence fer hopenin' 'is cab door to-dye, an', sezee, 'My man, 'e sez, 'yer've got a 'onest fyce. W'y don'cher work? sezee.
You ain't been too ambitious, which is the error most parties falls into with small 'ouses. Now the parties as 'ad the place before you by the name o' Rummles well, I daresay they satisfied theirselves, but the 'ouse never looked right not to my taste, it didn't! 'George, get rid of this person! said Ella rapidly, under her breath, in French.
Round and round the place that fifteen-feet wall is built, and the park, as they calls it, is running as wild as a cow. Not a soul has set foot in that place for the last fifteen years. But I expect when Mr. Mallow comes in for the title he'll pull it down and build 'ouses. I'm sure he ought to: it's a shame seeing land wasted like that." "Where is Lord Caranby now?"
"Ah!" retorted Aurore, "par example! Non? Ee thingue we is ridge, eh? Ligue his oncle, eh? Ee thing so, too, eh?" She cast upon her daughter the look of burning scorn intended for Agricola Fusilier. "You wan' to tague the pard of dose Grandissime'?" The daughter returned a look of agony. "No," she said, "bud a man wad godd some 'ouses to rend, muz ee nod boun' to ged 'is rend?"
