"And you really are alive and hearty, and how you've growed, and and why, of course, it is! Pay you back the money S'Richard, why I'd oh, my lad, my lad I I I oh, what a fool I am!" Fool or no, Jerry Brigley broke down, and sat holding on by his companion's hands sobbing for some moments before he uttered a loud gulp, and then seemed relieved.
Then he proved a tough customer to have to deal with. "And so you will not stay with Captain Lacey, Jerry?" said Sir Richard one day. "No, S'Richard. I'd do anything for him, sir; and, as for his dear lady, she knows as I'd be her slave, but I seem to belong to you, sir, and, as you're going out to Indy, I feel as if I must go too, and so I volunteers."
There have been so many things to prove that Smithson " "S'Richard, sir," cried Jerry. "Well, that the young man we are going to see is a gentleman. I believe it all, Colonel; for, to my sorrow, I know Mark Frayne is little better than a sharper and a cheat." "Mind what you are saying, Mr Lacey," cried the colonel sternly. "I can prove my words, sir," said Lacey firmly.
He was no longer the quiet, dreamy-looking musician, but full of angry energy; and in this spirit he went straight to his cousin's room, knocked, and went in; but the place was empty. "Seen my cousin?" he cried, as he encountered Jerry, the house servant, valet, and factotum. "See him smoking in the garden 'arf a hour ago, S'Richard."
I just work for him same as I do for my other gentlemen, or for you, sir; and you never threw a bad word at me in your life let alone boots!" "Did the things hit you, Jerry?" "No, S'Richard, I can't say as they hit me; but they hurt me, all the same. Servants has feelings same as gents has." "I'm very sorry, Jerry. Mr Frayne is a little irritable sometimes."
"All right, then; I won't say it I'll think it, and that'll make it easier, because I can think the other the same time." "What other?" "The Richard. I shall allus say `S'Richard' to myself." "Very well, do. But, mind I trust you." "And you may, sir. It seems to me as I was going to say if you won't be offended " "Go on, man," cried Richard; "nothing will offend me now." "Oh! won't it?
No, I'm not going to humbug after S'Richard; and I'm not going to worry. I was ready to be friends if he liked to trust me; but he didn't, and there it ends." Jerry sat sunning himself outside the officers' quarters as he mused in this way, and felt a bit resentful against Dick as he went on. "I know where he's off to.
"Yes, I suppose so," said the young man, who looked more bored and fidgety; "but I don't think I ought to promise to take you, Jerry. I don't know that I shall pass and get my commission." "Oh, yes, you will, sir." "Of course, I should like to have you with me, Jerry, because you understand me so well." "I do, S'Richard; and I allus feel proud o' doin' for you.
But don't you get out of heart, sir. I was smooth as you once, and now if I goes two days you might grate ginger with me!" "Well, we will see," said the young man; "but if you want to to " "Better myself, S'Richard; that's it!" "Don't let another opportunity go." "Oh, yes, I shall, S'Richard! You said you'd like to have me, and that's enough for me!
But he won't, and a good job for him and me, too, S'Richard, sir." "Silence, man!" "I beg pardon, sir. O' course, that's wrong now; but I tell you this, sir: he's made me that wild again with myself, and now about you, sir, that, if I had to cut his hair or strop a razor to shave him, I should chuck the tools out o' window. I daren't go nigh him with such a weppun in my hand." "Rubbish, Jerry!
