I say they do come to take me off." "Oh, do you?" growled Smithers. "And I say they don't come to take you off, because my orders are to let no boat come in; and what's more, you are my prisoner." "Your prisonare, sir!" cried the visitor. "You make joke." "Oh no, that's no joke, mister," said Smithers. "That's only obeying orders." "But, sir, I insist. I desire to go much." "Can't help it, sir."
Coming into the field untrammeled as the older houses were, he had a larger control of money than any of them, and far greater freedom of action. After a time the Rothschilds, the Barings, and other great bankers, began to learn that Smithers & Co. had vast funds every where, in all the capitals of Europe, and in America. Even in the West Indies their operations were extensive.
"Oh, yes, yes, Joe dear!" she cried, hurrying to fetch her lotah and sponge; while the Doctor came up from the other side, frowning severely, and then making a dash to catch the unhappy woman and save her from falling, for poor Mrs Smithers, the strong and never-tiring, had fainted dead away for the first time in her life.
I'll Dorothy 'er if I get the chance." Mrs. Smithers, wot 'ad been listening with all her ears, jumped up, and so did the skipper, and Mrs. Smithers came to the side in two steps. "Did you say 'Dorothy, ma'am?" she ses to my missis. "I did," ses my wife. "She's been writing to my husband." "It must be the same one," ses Mrs. Smithers. "She's been writing to mine too."
The first man who pays gets the land; but I have won the first chance to pay. You will kindly step one side until I finish my business with Mr. Smithers here." "I suppose you have the amount actually with you," said the clerk, quite respectfully, "because if you have not, Mr. Morrison's claim will take precedence."
The relationship is antagonistic to the facts of life, and the friends, or one or other of them, will drift either into indifference and dislike, or something warmer. You are a novelist, Miss Smithers; perhaps some day you will write a book to explain why people fall in love where their affection is not wanted, and what purpose their distress can possibly serve.
"Now, then, Miss Smithers," broke in Dr. Probate, "for the very last time nobody will call you that again, you know take my arm; his Lordship I mean the parson is there." It was done, and they were man and wife. Well, even the happiest marriage is always a good thing to get over.
"Lovely!" as he held up the empty cup. "That's just the sort of stuff as would do old Joe Smithers a world of good.
He heard the louder sounds made by Smithers, stirring ever so slightly in the Tube. And then he caught a vague, distant uproar. It would have been faint and confused at best but the Tube was partly blocked by Smithers' body, and there were the multiple bends further to complicate the echoes. It was no more than a formless tumult through which faint yells came occasionally.
The Doctor took the glass, filled it, emptied it, smacked his lips, and then refilled and handed it to Mrs Smithers. "Your turn, nurse," he said. "Then take the can and go all round, and finish off by taking a glass up to the Frenchman." "Ah, I was looking round, sir, for him," said Archie. "Yes, I am getting too full here, my lad. I have had him carried up to that room where Pegg's on duty."
