Honest Rattlin, as soon as he heard of my condition, came to me, and administered all the consolation he could, and then went to the surgeon in my behalf, who sent one of his mates to dress my wounds. This mate was no other than my old friend Thompson, with whom I became acquainted at the Navy Office, as before mentioned.
The sexton then answered for him, whilst the drunkard was led out of the church. The office went on, and the lady seemed studiously to avoid looking upon her intended godson; I was christened simply, Ralph Rattlin. The lady wrote her name in the book the last, and it was instantly removed by the clerk. She thrust a guinea into his hand, and then, for the first time, bent her veiled face over me.
So you want to get forward, Master Rattlin? why come to school then, that's the way droll, isn't it? Why, you've been riding backwards all the way, too time to change droll that hi, hi!" "It's no change," said I, getting out, sulkily, "from one school to another and do you call this a school?"
The grief of his sister was commonplace and violent; but there was a depth and a dignity in that of the old man that went to my very heart. I could not help going up to the lieutenant, and entreating him to grant the interview. "It won't do, Mr Rattlin. Don't you know that the fellow was put on board with `CP' before his name?
They were the somewhat affected amatory effusions of that superb woman, Mrs Causand, whom I have described in the early part of this life. They spoke of Ralph, of Ralph Rattlin and described, with tolerable accuracy, my singular birth at the Crown Inn, at Reading. There were three letters.
Had the battle-cry been "A Rattlin!" instead of "A Saint Albans!" I could not have been more elated. The joy of battle to the young heart is like water to the sands of the desert which cannot be satiated. In much less than three minutes the position under the gallery was carried.
"At making a blithering idiot of myself," interpolates Beauvayse. "If you'll go back and sit decently in your chair, instead of standing behind me rattlin' keys and coins in your pocket, and dropping hot cigar-ash on my head, I'll tell you how it happened. Nobody listening?" "Not a soul," says Captain Bingo, padding back after a noiseless prowl to the coffee-room window.
"The muffled dice are somewhere around," Sneak would say to his aids; "there are them three chaps, there, been dogging me about for the last half-hour. I say, Pounce, has any one been scouting around you this morning?" "Four on 'em," says Pounce. "I know'd it; I know'd the muffled dice was rattlin'!" "Leggs!" says the master-at-arms to his other aid, "Leggs, how is it with you any spies?"
Providence is, Mr Rattlin do you really know what Providence is? I ask you the question advisedly I always speak advisedly I ask you, do you know what Providence is? Do not speak; interruptions are unseemly there are few who interrupt me.
When I related to her the documents that he had shown me to convince me that he was no impostor, she said, "Ralph, it is enough it is of little consequence now what name you may give him. He is my son!" "And my half-brother?" "Oh no, no, young sir! Disgraced as he has been, a nobler blood than that of Rattlin flows in his veins.
