He stood there argufying for about ten minutes; but I was as firm as a rock. I wouldn't move an inch, and at last, arter we was both on the point of losing our tempers, he picked up his bag and said as 'ow he must be getting off 'ome. "But ain't you going to take those things off fust?" I ses. "No," he ses, smiling. "I'll wait till I get 'ome. Ta-ta."
He was seen puffing for a moment with indrawn cheeks, his head to one side, the flame of the flickering vesta lighting up his face, his hat pushed back till it rested on his collar, his fair hair hanging down his brow. Then he sprang to the driving seat and gathered up the reins. "Ta-ta, Deacon; see and behave yourself!" he flung across his shoulder, and they were off with a bound.
"Oh! do it, Gaspar!" exclaims Cypriano; "do that, and all I have will be yours." "Yes! all we both have," adds Ludwig; "all there is at the estancia. But rescue sister, and I'm sure my mother will make you welcome to everything." "Ta-ta!" returns the gaucho, in a tone of reproach at being thus bargained with; gentle, however, as he knows it is from their anxiety about Francesca.
It seems so sad to reflect that the poor dears probably imagine they look quite nice! "How is the Ogre? Does he still live in his den, and growl when you appear? I should be very glad he did shut himself up, when he is so cross and disagreeable! "Well, ta-ta, my darlings!
"Yes," the girl responded in a tone indicative of something very like spleen, "yes, undoubtedly, Mo'sieu de Ronville; your business there seems quite pressing of late. I have noticed your industrious application to that business." "Ta-ta, little one," he wheedled, lowering his voice; "you mustn't go to making bug-bears out of nothing."
Sorry about the Specialities; but, after the little exhibition you have just made of yourself, I agree with the other girls that you are not fit to be a member. Now, ta-ta for the present." Fanny went straight to her own room. "What a nasty time I have lived through!" she thought as she was about to enter. Then she opened the door and started back. The whole room had undergone a metamorphosis.
"I'll run, man, run fast enough soon as you done talkin," replied the Cockney cheekily, hopping across the creek to the shelter of the far bank. "Be in Lewes afore you're back to the guv'nor, I'll lay. Ta-ta." He was away down the creek, running like a monkey, finger-tips touching the ground. Kit, thankful to tears, watched the sun on the man's ridged back, as he stole away.
An' about twenty minutes later, when we was gettin' our friends back into their outfits, we heard the search-engine about half a mile below, whistlin' an' feelin' its way up very cautious towards us. "They was sun-dried an' jolly as sandhoppers all their eight of 'em as we helped 'em on board an' wished 'em ta-ta!
"Ta-ta!" she waved her fingers from her lips. The pairs then separated; one couple turning into green lanes, the other dipping to blue hills. Gossip of course was excited on the subject of the choice of a partner made by the member for the county. Cornelia placed her sisters in one of their most pleasing of difficulties. She had not as yet pledged her word.
It was passed round from one to another till it came to me, and I read: "Harry D. Bellairs, Attorney-at-Law; defended Clara Varden; twice nearly disbarred." "Well, that gets me!" observed Mr. Longhurst. "Who can have put up a shyster like that? Nobody with money, that's a sure thing. Suppose you tried a big bluff? I think I would, Pink. Well, ta-ta! Your partner, Mr. Dodd?
