"In short, the most horrible sight you ever saw," said Junkie, drawing his blanket tighter round his shoulders, and crouching nearer to the bulky form of Scholtz for protection from the wind which was rising. "Yes, Junkie, it was the most 'orrible sight I ever saw, for wild savageness, so I drew my sword and gave the hox a prog that sent 'im 'ead over 'eels down the kloof w'ere 'e broke 'is back.
We left him alone in the library for a while, and returning found him amusing himself over the 'Ingoldsby Legends. He was reading the 'Coronation of Victoria, and laughing over Count Froganoff, who could not get 'prog enough, and was 'found eating underneath the stairs. He wants to have a dinner for Bayard Taylor, whose coming is always the signal for a series of small festivities.
"Plenty yet, sir, and there's enough prog beg pardon, sir, wictuals to last us for some days; and look, sir, look. Here's a chance." "What? Where?" cried Mark, startled by the man's excitement. "Another slaver coming round the point there. You must take that one too, sir, and then you can go into port with flying colours. Double flying colours, sir!"
Sancho had recourse to the larder of his alforjas and took out of them what he called the prog; Don Quixote rinsed his mouth and bathed his face, by which cooling process his flagging energies were revived. Out of pure vexation he remained without eating, and out of pure politeness Sancho did not venture to touch a morsel of what was before him, but waited for his master to act as taster.
That chap must have been a bit sick last night, or been taking bhang or something, and he's overslept himself this morning. Now then! Spears kris victuals. Ready for action. Let's get part of the prog on to the thatch. You hand it up to me, and then mount yourself. Oh dear, we sha'n't have half enough time!" "But suppose the sentry comes?" "Lie down on the thatch. You will be out of sight."
When he had cleaned it out, he tuk another without doin' much questionin' as to the bill of fare. Whether anybody got pidjin-pie 'cept Andy, I can't say, but the way we piled in Delmoniker prog would 'a' made people open their eyes as was eatin' their Christmas dinners on shore that day.
Poker, that's a good soul, now do, Squire, look at the sarvants. Do you hear that feller, a blowin' and a wheesin' like a hoss that's got the heaves? Well he is so fat and lazy, and murders beef and beer so, he has got the assmy, and walkin' puts him out o' breath aint it beautiful! Faithful old sarvant that, so attached to the family! which means the family prog.
Well, you go off and prepare fatted calf and any other suitably symbolical prog you may have at hand, and I'll turn up as soon as I can." Munshi Somwar Mal was in waiting to escort Charteris to his quarters when he emerged from his interview with the Resident, and greeted him with genuine pleasure. "Now do the nightingales sing once more in the groves of friendship!" he remarked.
The old man sprang to his feet, unbarred the door, and seized it to throw it open. "It's all over, comrade," whispered Punch. "Well, let's fill our pockets with the prog. I don't want to starve any more." He placed his eye to the knot-hole again, and then turned his head to whisper to his companion. "'Tain't the Frenchmen," he said.
Some of the things would 'a' been better cooked a little more, or het up, but we was too fearful hungry to wait fur that, an' they was tiptop as they was. "The cap'n went out afterwards, an' towed in a couple of bar'ls of flour that was only part soaked through, an' he got some other plain prog that would do fur future use.
