He wass at de hotel himself wid hiss shentleman lars' night at de dance. Dey won't put dat in no paper, sir." And the man chuckled. I felt none too comfortable during all this and was glad to be told to read on and be damned. I read to the young American all the morning. He went on exactly like a very badly brought up child.
And respecting David, he allowed that "he was an excellent judge of nowte and sheep, and a sensible eneugh carle, an it werena for his tamn'd Cameronian nonsense, whilk it is not worth while of a shentleman to knock out of an auld silly head, either by force of reason or otherwise."
"Yes, sir," remarked Mrs Anderson; "Aggy is much better. The fresh air is doin' her cood already, an' the peels that the shentleman your friend gave her is workin' wonders."

How do you know?" "One way in and another way out!" he said, his voice sinking to a sort of meditative croon "One road to the West, and the other to the East! and round about to the meeting-place! Ou ay! Ye'll mak it clear sailin'!" "Without wind, eh?" interposed Captain Derrick "Like your friend the 'shentleman'? How does he manage that business?"
I know Brince Etwart ven I see him. He ish von brince, but nod von shentleman. He svears ad hish mens." The near approach of the subject of this conversation prevented farther personal remarks.

I paid him as good or better on the return; whereupon he stepped a little back and took off his hat to me decorously. "Enough plows I think," says he. "I will be the offended shentleman, for who effer heard of such suffeeciency as tell a shentlemans that is the king's officer he cannae speak Cot's English?

Dot fine shentleman don't know vat you und me knows about Captain Bilker." The American gave an affirmative wink, and then going to a rude cupboard he took out a bottle of gin and a couple of tin mugs.

Haf I not been one shentleman?" "Open that door," said Rowland, quietly. "Yes, open it," repeated Captain Barry, his puzzled face clearing at the prospect of action on his part. "Open it or I'll kick it down."
"Yaw, I knows him, and he knows me too, and we both knows each oder, so dat we are acquainted. Well, dat shentleman is hid off in de woods near here, and he has sent me in to l'arn what I cans about you."
What's written on these eight bits of paper everybody may know," and he pulled out of a large case or purse, which he carried in his breast coat-pocket, a fat sheaf of bills. "There are five thou' written on each of them, and for five thou' on each of them I means to stand out. 'It or miss. If any shentleman chooses to talk to me about ready money I'll take two thou' off.
