The shuvver, he said sommink about 'poor boars' which I've heard is wot you has to give 'em as a tip to themselves, Gov'nor so I promised him 'arf a crown to stop at 'tother end of that passage leadin' up from The Twisted Arm till he was wanted, sir. Made it a good tip because I wanted him to be there sure it would have been a case of 'nab' for us if he hadn't. Wasn't too much, was it, sir?"
"Leave it t' me, bo I know a chewin'-joint close by soup, joint, sweets, an' coffee an' only a quarter a throw some feed, bo! Shin right along, I'll " "No, you shall come home and dine with me." "Home?" repeated the Spider, halting to stare again; "you're sure talkin' ramblin' " "We can discuss the chauffeur's job then " "Shuvver?" said the Spider uneasily.
May consents, I'll ship the auto by train in advance and send the shuvver my assistant, I mean on ahead, so as to look the car over and see that she's ready to run us all out to your ranch after we arrive at Bakersfield in the morning. Now, aren't you surprised at my news, Mrs. Gaylor that I've got an automobile of my own? Or did they tell you that, among other things, at River Camp?"
She's found herself. Come and have a look at her." Nick went. "She" was a beauty, inside and out a pale primrose yellow. "Almost the colour of her hair," he thought. "I must have a shuvver to overhaul the machine, until I've been put wise," he said, when, after some discussion, he had agreed to buy the yellow car if it were satisfactory. "But I want to learn to drive right away.
"Then will you take me for your shuvver and trial guide to those places? I won't ask you any more, now. You can send me packing afterward, if you don't think I live up to the character Mr. Morehouse has given you of me." "Mr. Morehouse! I haven't heard from him since my first day in New York." "I mean the other Mr. Morehouse, his brother your banker. Henry wired to him from New York.
Then, to Dick, "Sit down," he went on, and disappeared, to return quickly with a tumbler in his hand. With half-closed eyes, Dick continued as if the other man had never left him. "She's mounting guard," he said, "with the shuvver to help, over our catch the worst blackguard unhung."
My story will be that I was walkin' through the woods this afternoon on my way to Charretier's château when I saw you with the thing in your hands, lookin' at it. Probably goin' to ask the shuvver to dispose of it for you what? and share profits." "Oh, you coward!" I exclaimed, and snatched the diamond brooch from him. Instantly he let go my dress, laughing. "That's right!
"But what's a guy like you want with a shuvver?" "Well, to drive my car and " "Car?" said the Spider, his uneasiness growing, "got a car now, have ye, bo?" "I rather think I've got six." "Sufferin' Sam!" The Spider scratched his chin while his keen eyes roved over Ravenslee's exterior apprehensively. "Say, bo, you quite sure none o' th' bunch booted you on th' dome eh?" "Quite sure."
He looked as much like an icily regular, splendidly null, bronze statue as a flesh-and-blood young man could possibly look, for that, no doubt, is his conception of the part of a well-trained "shuvver"; and he did not seem aware of my existence as he stood, cap in hand, ready for orders. As for me, I flatter myself that I was equally admirable in my own métier.
And I'd start off with you for good. I mean, you and the maid, and the cat, and Billy. Billy's the other shuvver, besides me. I'd take you to Santa Barbara." "That's one of the places on my programme." "And Monterey." "Another of my places. But I want to go to the Yosemite. You couldn't motor me there." "I could guide you. I've known horses longer than I've known motors. And I know the Yosemite.
