"The first time?" "Yes; I remember it." "Because I came twice, my Lord. When I came first it hadn't been done. You turned me out." "That is true, Major Tifto." "You was very rough then. Wasn't you rough?" "A man's bedroom is generally supposed to be private." "Yes, my Lord, that's true. I ought to have sent your man in first. I came then to confess it all, before it was done."
He could say nothing as to the Runnymede hunt and the two thunderbolts which had fallen on him, as Major Tifto was not a subject on which he could expatiate in the presence of his father. He asked a few questions about the shooting, and referred with great regret to his absence from the Brake country. "I am sure Mr.
The Duke however declared that the money would not cause a moment's regret, if only the whole thing could be got rid of at that cost. It had reached Finn's ears that Tifto was already at loggerheads with his associates. There was some hope that the whole thing might be brought to light by this means. For all that the Duke cared nothing.
"It was the unfairest start I ever saw," said Tifto, almost getting up from his seat on the coach so as to address Dolly and Silverbridge on the box. "What the is the good of that?" said Dolly from the coach-box. "Take your licking and don't squeal." "That's all very well. I can take my licking as well as another man. But one has to look to the causes of these things.
"I have not the pleasure of knowing Mr. Tifto." "He is a major. I think you'd like Major Tifto. He's a sort of racing coach to Silverbridge. You ought to know Tifto. And Tregear is pretty nearly cleared out." "Mr. Tregear! Frank Tregear!" "I'm told he has been hit very heavy. I hope he's not a friend of yours, Lady Mabel." "Indeed he is; a very dear friend and a cousin." "That's what I hear.
But no sooner had the offer been made by Lord Silverbridge than he saw his own indiscretion. Tifto was very well for Chester or Newmarket, very well perhaps for the Beargarden, but not very well for an electioneering expedition.
He doesn't think that I know, but I could lay my hand on him to-morrow." "There is no human being alive, Major Tifto, whose presence or absence could be a matter of more indifference to me." "I'll tell you what I'll do, my Lord. I'll go before any judge, or magistrate, or police-officer in the country, and tell the truth. I won't ask even for a pardon. They shall punish me and him too.
As to this exclamation the boy and the two men were agreed. The boy was then made to dismount and run for Mr. Pook; and as he started Tifto commenced to examine the horse's foot. The boy saw him raise the off fore-leg.
It was a genuine trouble to him that his father should be so unhappy. Of all the griefs which weighed upon the Duke's mind, that in reference to his sister was the heaviest. The money which Gerald owed at Cambridge would be nothing if that other sorrow could be conquered. Nor had Tifto and his own extravagance caused the Duke any incurable wounds.
"What the d does this mean?" said his Lordship angrily, as soon as his visitor had succeeded in waking him. Tifto muttered something about the horse which Silverbridge failed to understand. The young man's condition was by no means pleasant. His mouth was furred by the fumes of tobacco. His head was aching.
