Thar's a passel of us who has roped up our mail, an' now we're standin' 'round in front of the Red Light, breakin' into letters an' papers, an' a-makin' of comments, when along wanders a party who's been picnicin' with the camp. As the deal turns, he never does stay long nohow; never long enough to become a 'genial 'quaintance an' a fav'rite of all.
'Why, now, as to the matter of that, replied the gentleman, gathering all the loose silver up into his hand and speaking very slowly, just as a country gentleman, who has all the live-long day to do nothing in, may be supposed to speak Why, now, as to the matter of that, said he, eyeing Pacey intently, and beginning to drop the silver slowly as he spoke, 'I can't say that I've any very 'ticklar 'quaintance with the captin.
De fust time I seed her, I sez to myself, 'Dat's de gal for me, an' I means to hab her ef I kin git her. So I scraped 'quaintance wid her, and axed her ef she would hab me ef our marsters would let us. I warn't 'fraid 'bout Marse Robert, but I warn't quite shore 'bout Gundover.
No 'fence, I s'pose no 'fence. 'Oh no, said Mr. Sponge. 'Jog, I dessay, 'll be very glad to see you. 'Oh, you'll be Mr. Sponge? observed the stranger, jumping to a conclusion. 'I am, replied our hero; adding, 'may I ask who I have the honour of addressing? 'My name's Romford Charley Romford; everybody knows me. Very glad to make your 'quaintance, tendering Sponge a great, rough, heavy hand.
"Queer kinder fellow," said a wrinkled old bayman with whom I walked up the sandy road, "I seen him a good deal round here, but 'twan't like havin' any 'quaintance with him. He allus kep' himself to himself, pooty much. Used ter stay round 'Squire Ladoo's place most o' the time keepin' comp'ny with the gal I guess. Larmone?
A large part of the crumbling enceinte disposes itself over the hill; but for the rest, all that has preserved any traceable cohesion is a considerable portion, of the citadel. I would almost have dispensed with the privi- lege, for I think I have already mentioned that an ac- quaintance with many feudal interiors has wrought a sad confusion in my mind.
There is a great bit of rock there where she used to love to sit and look across towards Anglesey. And talking about that place reminds me, brother, that our people and the Boswells and a lot more are camped on the Carnarvon road just where the pathway up Snowdon begins. And I wur told yesterday by a 'quaintance of mine as I seed outside the bungalow that daddy and Videy had joined them.
Says he, 'I don't object to the children, my lord, but with her ladyship in the carriage. It's such servants as you as spoil places. No servant as knows what's due to a servant ought to know you. They'd scorn your 'quaintance, as I do, Mr. Pearman." "You are a stuck-up hussy, and a soldier's jade," roared Andrew. "And you are a low tea-kettle groom."
"I guess, Massa Gladding 'tend to business in his own way," said the now good-humored General, "but you, Squire, is an old 'quaintance, and you disappointment so great, I didn't like to mention de leg." As soon as Primus uttered the word "Squire," Basset knew that the reconciliation between them was complete.
But, as I was sayin', I 'member one time when we met, that you told me somethin' about the murder of somebody of your 'quaintance. But I didn't take no partickler interest in it, because I didn't know any of the parties concerned. And, of course, I didn't dream that poor Mr. Minford was the man I had seen workin' away there for three years.
