They were greatly excited, and wondered which road he was likely to come, for they would go to meet him. Some one asked, "what is he like ?" One answered, "Oh, he is a rum-looking little fellow that stoops. I should know him again anywhere." Hearing this, I held up my head like a soldier, in order to look as large as possible, and waited about till they dispersed.
"You got a rum un up home!" said Teddy. Hall very sociably pulled up. "What's that?" he asked. "Rum-looking customer stopping at the 'Coach and Horses," said Teddy. "My sakes!" And he proceeded to give Hall a vivid description of his grotesque guest. "Looks a bit like a disguise, don't it? I'd like to see a man's face if I had him stopping in my place," said Henfrey.
Some, indeed, were even longer than that; and we counted on one thirty-six flowers arranged in a spiral way upon a slender, thread-like stalk. A shout from one of the men a short distance behind made us stop. "Why, that is a rum-looking creature!" exclaimed Dick Tarbox. "Dat? dat one big frog with wing!" cried Potto Jumbo, with a loud laugh.
After he lost the power of moving, he could hear, and he heard the Cheap Jack say, "I'd go in for the Young Prodigy; genteel from the first; only, if we goes among the nobs, he may be recognized. He's a rum-looking beggar." "If you don't go a drinking every penny he earns," said Sal, pointedly, "we'll soon get enough in a common line to take us to Ameriky, and he'll be safe enough there."
He played it out cool to the last, and wasn't going to hurry himself for anybody. Half-an-hour before sundown we rode up to the Black Stump. It was a rum-looking spot, but everybody knew it for miles round. There was nothing like it anywhere handy.
"By Jove! this is jolly!" muttered the lively gentleman, turning on his heel and walking out; "a devilish rum-looking chap, that!" "Oh-o-o-o!" was all my astonished room-mate said, after which he turned over and composed himself to sleep.
"Oh, I wouldn't do that," said Peter, who was moved to say it from the same feeling which induced the old woman to pray for long life to the tyrant for fear they might get a worse to rule over them. "Doctor'll make him better. Rum-looking little chap."
They passed; Gyp saw Fiorsen turn to his companion, slightly tossing back his head in their direction, and heard the companion laugh. A little flame shot up in her. Winton said: "Rum-looking Johnnies one sees here!" "That was the violinist I told you of Fiorsen." "Oh! Ah!" But he had evidently forgotten.
The young men had exchanged few observations; but in crossing Union Square, in front of the monument to Washington in the very shadow, indeed, projected by the image of the pater patriae one of them remarked to the other, "It seems a rum-looking place." "Ah, very odd, very odd," said the other, who was the clever man of the two. "Pity it's so beastly hot," resumed the first speaker after a pause.
The bagman arrived in due course, with a rum-looking roan horse, called the "Doctor"; a very good horse, too, but not quite so good as the bagman gave out that he was.
