"Because I believed she was legally entitled to it," explained Pash, lamely; "but since no," he broke off, "I'll say nothing just now. I alone can put the matter right, and I refuse to do so unless I have Miss Norman's promise that I shall keep the business." Paul would have refused then and there, but Hurd, more astute, interrupted his angry speech. "We'll see about that later, Mr.
"Jim," said Bill at this point, looking with unsteady solemnity at his comrade, and speaking slowly, "I d-don' b-b'lieve a single word on't. Here, give us a light, an' an' pash th' borle." Rising at this point, Lawrence and Pedro left those jovial British tars to their elevating occupations.
And now," ended Master Clump in a sullen manner, "you knows all, and I ain't done nothin', so I'm orf." Deborah caught him by the tail of his jacket as he made a dart at the door and swung him into the middle of the room. Hurd laid hands on him. "You come along with me," he said. "I'll confront you with Pash." Tray gave a howl of terror. "He'll kill me," he shouted, "as he killed the old cove.
Jabez Pash in London. "I says, sir," said Hurd, when again in the lawyer's private room, "that nautical gentleman of yours pawned that opal serpent twenty years ago more or less." "Never," said the monkey, screwing up his face and chewing. "Yes, indeed.
"I have heard all about that from Bart Tawsey, his shopman. Skip it and go on." "I can only go on so far as to say that Miss Norman will probably inherit a fortune of five thousand a year, beside the jewels contained in those bags. That is," said Mr. Pash, wisely, "if the jewels be not redeemed by those who pawned them." "Is there a will?" asked Hurd, rising to take his leave.
Don't all speak at oncest!" "Here, Rube, here!" cried several, holding out their blankets. "E'er a one 'll do. We needs three: Bill's an' mine an' another'n. Hyur, Billee! take these afore ye. Now ride down the 'Pash trail three hunred yards, or tharabout, an' then pull up. Don't take the beaten pad, but keep alongside, an' make big tracks. Gallop!"
You would not have taken him into your office a boy off the streets, and with a bad character at that unless you wanted to bribe him to hold his tongue." "I had no need to bribe," said Pash, gnawing his finger nails and rather cowed by this direct attack. "The boy did show me the opal brooch, and I took it from him to return to Norman." "When did you receive it?" asked Hurd, pulling out his book.
She has a story about every one of those rings, and a stupid one too. But there is always something pleasant, I think, in stupid family stories: they are good-hearted people who tell them. As for Mrs. Muchit, nothing need be said of her; she is Pash's companion; she has lived with Lady Pash since the peace. Nor does my Lady take any more notice of her than of the dust of the earth.
"Yes," said Pash, his dark face lighting up rather impishly, "there is the idea of nationalities; I dare say the wild asses are snuffing it, and getting more gregarious." "You don't share that idea?" said Deronda, finding a piquant incongruity between Pash's sarcasm and the strong stamp of race on his features.
You'll need all your wits to convince Hurd. Tray accuses you, and Hurd suspects you. I have nothing to do with the matter." "You put Hurd up to this," foamed Pash, hardly able to speak. "Pardon me. Hurd is working for the reward offered by your client. Don't you think it was rather foolish of her to offer such a large reward, Mr. Pash, even though she did so to avert suspicion?"
