So the colonel broke into a lamentation, and a fury, and a wonder. 'Cluffe and Puddock, the two steadiest officers in the corps! He had a devilish good mind to put Cluffe under arrest the idiots Puddock he was devilish sorry. There wasn't a more honourable' et cetera.
With which words he made another bow, and a pause of enquiry directed to Puddock, who lisped with dignity 'Sir, the duty is, for many reasons, painful; but I I can't refuse, Sir, and I accept the trust. So O'Flaherty shook his hand, with another bow; bowed silently and loftily round the room, and disappeared, and a general buzz and a clack of tongues arose. 'Mr. And so Puddock's bow.
'Good merthiful graciouth Thir! ejaculated poor little Puddock, in a panic, and gazing up into the brawny fireworker's face with a pallid fascination; indeed they both looked unpleasantly unlike the popular conception of heroes on the eve of battle. 'But but it can't be you forget Dr. Sturk and oh, dear! the antidote. It I thay it can't be, Thir, said Puddock, rapidly.
But when the captain's military cloak, which he took for Cluffe himself, followed in the track of the boat, whisking, sprawling, and tumbling, in what Puddock supposed to be the agonies of drowning, and went over the weir and disappeared from view, returning no answer to his screams of 'Strike out, Cluffe! to your right, Cluffe. Hollo! to your right, he quite gave the captain over.
O'Flaherty, who had turned his face to the wall in the bitterness of his situation for like some other men, he had the intensest horror of death when he came peaceably to his bedside, though ready enough to meet him with a 'hurrah! and a wave of his rapier, if he arrived at a moment's notice, with due dash and eclat sat up like a shot, and gaping upon Puddock for a few seconds, relieved himself with a long sigh, a devotional upward roll of the eyes, and some muttered words, of which the little ensign heard only 'blessing, very fervently, and 'catch me again, and 'divil bellows it; and forthwith out came one of the fireworker's long shanks, and O'Flaherty insisted on dressing, shaving, and otherwise preparing as a gentleman and an officer, with great gaiety of heart, to meet his fate on the Fifteen Acres.
O'Flaherty took his sword, got his hand well into the hilt, poised the blade, shook himself up as it were, and made a feint or two and a parry in the air, and so began to advance, like Goliath, towards little Nutter. 'Now, Puddock, back him up encourage your man, said Devereux, who took a perverse pleasure in joking; 'tell him to flay the lump, splat him, divide him, and cut him in two pieces .
'There is not much the matter with me now I feel well enough, said O'Flaherty, mildly, and eyeing the mixture askance; and after a little while he looked at Puddock. That disciplinarian understood the look, and said, peremptorily, shaking up his little powdered head, and lisping vehemently 'Lieutenant O'Flaherty, Sir! I insist on your instantly taking that physic.
'I believe, Sir, that this is the sixth time I've ventured to ask a distinct statement from your lips, of the cauthe of your dithagreement with Mr. Nutter, which I plainly tell you, Thir, I don't at prethent underthtand, said Puddock, loftily and firmly enough.
'He was hurt then, I knew it' he thought 'who's attending him and why is he out and was it a flesh-wound or where was it? all these questions silently, but vehemently, solicited an answer and he repeated the last aloud, in a careless sort of way. 'And a Lieutenant Puddock, you were saying a tell me now where was it? 'In the park, general, said Puddock, in perfect good faith.
'Oh, as for that, said Cluffe, swallowing down his emotions again, and shaking hands with Puddock rather clumsily, and trying to smile, 'I wish you well, Heaven knows everything good; why shouldn't I, by George? You know, Puddock, 'twas I who brought you together. And and am I at liberty to mention it? Puddock thought it better the news should be proclaimed from Belmont.
