"That pays for my place, but how about my principles, my conscience?" said Europe, cocking her crafty little nose and giving the Baron a serio-comic leer. "Your conscience shall not be pait for so much as your place; but I shall say fife tousand franc more," said he adding five thousand-franc notes. "No, no. Twenty thousand for my conscience, and five thousand for my place if I lose it "
The man looked alarmed, and began a speech: "Sare, I cannot let dem go vidout" but a bright thought struck me, and I interrupted "Sir! don't sir me. Take off the boots, fellow, and, hark ye, when you speak to a nobleman, don't say Sir." "A hundert tousand pardons, my lort," says he: "if I had known you were a lort, I vood never have called you Sir. Vat name shall I put down in my books?"
"Dat's de mansion ob Cun'l Hickman, my ole mars'r," replied Cuffy. "He owns all de land 'bout here, mor'n tousand acres. He let me live on dis corner when he want me to run de ferry, and I stops here eber since." "Then he must be very rich." "Rich! Dat ain't no name for't. He's got more money'n de Bank ob London, 'n I reckon he could buy out de State of Kaintuck. He's pow'ful rich, Mars'r."
Glossin rose, opened the door, so that from the chair in which his prisoner sate he might satisfy himself there was no eavesdropper within hearing, then shut it, resumed his seat, and repeated his question, 'You are Dirk Hatteraick, formerly of the Yungfrauw Haagenslaapen, are you not? 'Tousand deyvils! and if you know that, why ask me? said the prisoner.
"You may retire," said he to his clerk, "and carry the people with you, but wait within call." Then: "You are Dirk Hatteraick, are you not?" "Tousand teyvils! And if you know that, why ask me?" "Captain, bullying won't do. You'll hardly get out of this country without accounting for a little accident at Warroch Point a few years ago." Hatteraick's looks grew black as midnight.
Madame Planchet beamed, and the flesh-mountain was feebly cheered. "You like it, Abey?" "Sure, I like it! Maw, it's grand! It's like I got a new girl! Come on now, git up, we go git our dinner, and den we gotta see dem night scenes took. Don't forgit, we're payin' two tousand men five dollars apiece tonight, and we gotta git our money out of 'em."
"He wants a thousand pounds, Emmanuel." "Dat is a large sum one tousand pounds' he does not vant any more?" "No," replied I, "that will be sufficient." "Vel, den, I have de monish in my pocket. I will just beg de young gentleman to sign a little memorandum, dat I may von day receive my monish." "But what is that to be?" interrupted I.
So at one in the morning the Baron de Nucingen, hidden in the garret where Europe slept, was suffering all the anxieties of a man who hopes to triumph. His blood seemed to him to be tingling in his toe-nails, and his head ready to burst like an overheated steam engine. "I had more dan one hundert tousand crowns' vort of enjoyment in my mind," he said to du Tillet when telling him the story.
"Tousand tyfels!" roared the corporal, dashing his foot upon one of the flaps of the little table before them with so much force, that it was broken short off and fell down on the floor. "Hundred tousand tyfels!" continued the corporal, when he witnessed the effects of his violence.
More dey break my heart dan I break their cursed heads. One day I use strong words, like white man, and I hit one large lump too hard; he break, and out come de white clear stone. Iss, him diamond. Long time we know him in our kraal, because he hard. Long time before ever white man know him, tousand years ago, we find him, and he make us lilly hole in big stone for make wheat dust.
