"On the contrary, sir, only following up an old one," and, with a somewhat ambiguous smile, the detective withdrew. The coachman's sudden disappearance, together with the facts learned from the stable-boy, formed the subject of discussion for the next half-hour between Ralph Mainwaring and the attorney, Scott listening with a thoughtful face, although taking little part in the conversation.
I'm awf'ly sorry. Pip, you know what I mean. When you are reading one of those things about Cavalry, by that idiotic Prince why doesn't he be a Prince instead of a stable-boy? CAPT. G. Prince Kraft a stable-boy Oh, my Aunt! Never mind, dear. You were going to say? MRS. G. It doesn't matter; you don't care for what I say.
Your uneducated masses speak English, you will not deny that; our uneducated masses speak American it won't be fair for you to deny that, for you can see, yourself, that when your stable-boy says, 'It isn't the 'unting that 'urts the 'orse, but the 'ammer, 'ammer, 'ammer on the 'ard 'ighway, and our stable-boy makes the same remark without suffocating a single h, these two people are manifestly talking two different languages.
He drew a pack of cards from his breast-pocket, and began shuffling them. No, Lars Peter had no time. "All the same, thanks." "Who are those men?" he asked the stable-boy. "Oh, they help the farmers to find their way about town, when it's dark," answered the man, laughing. "Are they paid for that then?" asked Lars Peter thoughtfully. "Oh, yes and sometimes a good deal.
They travelled in the Colonel's post- chariot, who, knowing his companion's habits of abstraction, did not choose to lose him out of his own sight, far less to trust him on horseback, where, in all probability, a knavish stable-boy might with little address have contrived to mount him with his face to the tail.
Then Homais represented to him how much jollier and brisker he would feel afterwards, and even gave him to understand that he would be more likely to please the women; and the stable-boy began to smile heavily. Then he attacked him through his vanity: "Aren't you a man? Hang it! what would you have done if you had had to go into the army, to go and fight beneath the standard? Ah! Hippolyte!"
Here, for a few moments at least, there is silence, and all are in dead earnest, as if awed and hushed by an earthquake perhaps until the cook cries "Breakfast!" or the stable-boy "Horses are ready!" Then the poor unfortunates, slaves of regular habits, turn quickly away, gasping and muttering as if wondering where they had been and what had enchanted them.
From stable-boy he was eventually promoted to groom. Occasionally he would reappear in his native place. His home was but a few miles away, and when out exercising a horse he appeared to find it a pleasure to trot down the old street, where as a farmer's boy he used to make the village laugh at his antics.
All the establishment "assisted" at the first trial, and the stable-boy accompanied us with the donkey who was to pull the sled up the hill. We had some little difficulty in starting, Pauline and I in front, Francis behind; but as soon as we got fairly on the slope the thing flew.
I have to ask your forbearance for the concealment I practised yesterday. It was a poor requital for your generosity, but is it one of the shifts of our sad fortune. An uncrowned king must go in disguise or risk the laughter of every stable-boy. Besides, we are too poor to travel in state, even if we desired it." Honestly, I knew not what to say.
