Bangs's party began now to arrive: a somewhat fleshy, and withal nervous and agitated lady, who proved to be Mrs. Bangs; two young girls, an angular lady carrying a fat pug dog in her arms, and a small boy. "Aha, we're all here," cried Mr. Bangs, joyfully. "Let's get aboard and be off. Splendid day for a sail, eh, Captain Coombs?" "Couldn't be better," replied Coombs, dryly.
The dog breathed with considerable difficulty, and occasionally snorted with the greatest violence, and bloody purulent matter was discharged; after which he was somewhat relieved; but, in the course of a few days, the obstruction was as great as ever. I am not aware of a single instances of this affection of the pug being completely removed.
Uncle John, indeed, did utter something about the pug and the child two such nuisances people bringing their brats into grownup company. At length the procession set out: the Bagshaws, Uncle John, and Jack Richards bringing up the rear in a hackney-coach. On reaching the corner of the street, Mrs. Bagshaw called out to the driver to stop. "What is the matter, dear?" said Bagshaw.
"Did you know her then?" he whispered. "I've known her all my life." Daventry wiped his brow with a large pocket-handkerchief, performing the action legally. One of the jurymen, who was too fat, and had something of the expression of a pug dog, opened his mouth and rolled slightly in his seat. The cross-examination became with every moment more disagreeable.
"And of course I know she would not have looked so nice in her picture if she'd squinted, and wrinkled her forehead, and had one shoulder out, and her tongue in her cheek, and a round back, and her chin poked, and her fingers all swollen with biting; but, oh, Toby, you clever Pug! how am I to get rid of my tricks? "That is, if I must give them up; but it seems so hard to get into disgrace
'Yes, about that; but I'll buy you one, one day or other, Temple. The dear little fellow coloured hot; he was too much in earnest to laugh at the absurdity of his being supposed to want a pug for himself, and walked round me, throwing himself into attitudes with shrugs and loud breathings. 'I don't . . . don't think that I . . . I care for nothing but Newfoundlands and mastiffs, said he.
The first suggestion was, that although the devil could not, of his own inherent power, create a body, he might get hold of a dead carcase and temporarily restore animation, and so serve his turn. "You must get a body ready-made, Pug, I can create you none;" and consequently Pug is advised to assume the body of a handsome cutpurse that morning hung at Tyburn.
Gordon's other leg spun him around, still crouching; the knife in his hand started coming up, sharp edge leading, and aimed for the belly of the bruiser who confronted him. The pug saw the blade and tried to check his lunge. Gordon felt the blade strike; but he was already pulling his swing, and it only gashed a long streak. The thug shrieked hoarsely and fell over.
"Spite of the stings of my remorse," she said, "as long as I lose not you, I will lose life, honour, hope, even soul itself!" They both quitted the spot as she said this. O, that woman's love! how strong is it in its weakness! how beautiful in its guilt! At length the treacherous snare was laid, Poor pug was caught to town convey'd; There sold.
Take it, man, and buy yoursilf a genteel bit of rattan, to beat the little pug dogs away, when they bark after you in the street. Insolent as the fellow was, there was no resisting his humour, and the laugh was general.
