'Ardy used to yarn most about the coins he had gone through; he had lived with bookmakers, and jockeys, and pugs, and actors, and all that a precious low lot," added this judicious person. "But it's about here my 'orse is moored, and by your leave I'll be getting ahead." "One moment," said I. "Is Mr. Sebright on board?" "No, sir, he's ashore to-day," said the sailor.
"Ah, I remember Sebright knew me! O!" and he groaned and shook. "Send down Wicks to me; I must see Wicks at once!" he cried, and seized the doctor's wrist with unconscious violence. "All right," said the doctor. "Let's make a bargain. You swallow down this draught, and I'll go and fetch Wicks."
That most skilful breeder, Sir John Sebright, used to say, with respect to pigeons, that "he would produce any given feather in three years, but it would take him six years to obtain head and beak."
Travelling, and his increased acquaintance with the world, has enlarged the range without lowering the pitch of Sir Humphry's mind an allusion I have borrowed from an entertaining essay on training hawks sent to me by Sir John Sebright. Do you know that there is at this moment a gentleman in Ireland, near Belfast, who trains hawks and goes a-hawking a Mr. Sinclair?
I had never before seen him so like Nugent in manner, as I now saw him when we met and he shook hands with me. "Tell me all about it," I said. He gave me his arm; and, talking all the way, we walked back slowly to Dimchurch. "In the first place," he began, "Mr. Sebright holds to his own opinion more firmly than ever. He feels absolutely certain that the operation will fail."
We shall put in some loud and scandalous cursing," Sebright assured me. "The boys will greatly enjoy that part, I dare say." Remained to consider the purpose of the schooner that had come out of Rio Medio to hang on our skirts. It was doubtful whether it was in our power to shake her off.
"How goot of Gott," he remarked, "when he invented the worlds to invent eatings and drinkings too! Ah!" sighed Herr Grosse, gently laying his outspread fingers on the pit of his stomach, "what immense happiness there is in This!" Mr. Sebright looked at his watch. "If there is anything more to be said on the question of the operation," he announced, "it must be said at once.
On re-entering the room, we found the eminent oculists seated as far apart as possible one from the other. Both gentlemen were engaged in reading. Mr. Sebright was reading a book. Herr Grosse was reading the Mayonnaise. I placed Lucilla close by me, and took her hand. It was as cold as ice. My poor dear trembled pitiably.
"You foolish little thing, you; we are going to have a beautiful ghost a divine ghost," said uncle Gus. "But we want Madeline to be the ghost," said a big Miss Sebright, ten or eleven years old. "She's always ghost," said Marian. "To be sure; it will be much better," said Miss Furnival. "I only offered my poor services hoping to be useful.
I laughed in very lightness of heart, in a profound sense of success; I laughed, irresponsible and oblivious, as one laughs in the thrilling delight of a dream. "Do I look so confoundedly silly?" asked Sebright, speaking as though he had a heavy cold. "I am stupid tired. I've been on my feet this twenty-four hours about the liveliest in my life, too.
