Come, Butterface, haven't you got a suggestion to make." The negro shook his woolly head. "No," he said, "I's 'orrible stoopid. Nebber could get nuffin' to come out o' my brain sep w'en it's knocked out by accident. You's hard to please, massa. S'pose you mix de two, dis'pintment an' content, an' call 'im Half-an'-half Island."
All I know is that he's Mister Mellon, and he's bin rather knocked up by But, bless me, I forgot: I was to say nothing about the the fire till Dr McTougall had seen you. How stoopid of me; but things will slip out!" He stopped abruptly, and placed his brown paper parcel on the bed. "Now, I say, look here, Mister Six-foot or wotever's your name," said Slidder, with intense eagerness.
Pen did not say anything about the churchyard scuffle at home; but went over to Baymouth, and took counsel with his friend Harry Foker, Esq., who drove over his drag presently to the Clavering Arms, whence he sent Stoopid with a note to Thomas Hobnell, Esq., at the Rev. J. Wapshot's, and a civil message to ask when he should wait upon that gentleman.
"Where are you hurt, Jem?" "Shoulder," said that worthy, laconically. "Again?" "No; not again." "But I mean when the gun went off." "In my head, Mas' Don." "Ah! We might stop now. Let me bind it up for you." "No, no; it don't bleed," replied Jem, gruffly. "I mean hurt inside my head, 'cause I could be such a stoopid as to let this here gun fall." "Then you are not wounded?"
Don had sometimes felt a little out of temper with his mistress for being slow to understand exactly what he did want, and he had barked, almost sharply, to intimate to the best of his powers 'Not bread and butter, stoopid cake! So you may conceive his disgust when she did not even give him bread and butter; nothing but judicious advice without jam.
That 'Now then, stoopid! of the 'bus conductor pales beside the lightnings of his scorn. 'Among the lovers of sensation, it is possible that some persons may be found with tastes so utterly vitiated as to derive pleasure from this monstrous production. I cull these flowers of speech from a wreath placed by a critic of the Slasher on my own early brow. Ye gods, how I hated him!
"Esty's a liar," Isaac responded imperturbably. "Ask Tatah." "Tatah dunno. Ain't I five?" "Yeth." "And ain't you four?" "Yeth." "And ain't I older than you?" "Courth." "And wasn't I born afore you?" "Yeth, Ikey." "Then 'ow can your birfday come afore mine?" "'Cos it doth." "Stoopid!" "It doth, arx Esty," Sarah would insist. "Than't teep in my new bed," Ikey would threaten. "Thall if I like."
"You see the Queen's too fond o' your physickin' and of my tootootlin' to part with us even for a day at a time. If we was like Ebony, now, we might go where we liked an' no one ud care." "Ob course not," replied the negro, promptly, "peepil's nebber anxious about whar wise men goes to; it's on'y child'in an' stoopid folk dey's got to tink about.
"Shut your mouth, you old stoopid," the Captain said good-naturedly. "Mr. Wenham ain't a fighting man; and quite right, too." "This matter, in my belief," the Steyne emissary cried, "ought to be buried in the most profound oblivion. A word concerning it should never pass these doors. I speak in the interest of my friend, as well as of Colonel Crawley, who persists in considering me his enemy."
"And if we don't," he said to Robin and Sam, during a private conversation on the subject that same night, "we must just give him each a portion of what we have, for the poor stoopid has shared our trials, and ought to share our luck."
