Turning aside from the principal entrance, he conducted Jeanie towards a sort of portal connected with the older part of the building, which was chiefly occupied by servants, and knocking at the door, it was opened by a servant in grave purple livery, such as befitted a wealthy and dignified clergyman. "How dost do, Tummas?" said the beadle "and how's young Measter Staunton?"
"I will give you a sovereign if you'll let me see the map you and Mr. Temple Barholm used to look at and talk so much about." He laid the sovereign down on the small table by Tummas's sofa, but Tummas did not pick it up. "I know who tha art. Tha'rt Palliser, an' tha wast th' one as said as him as was killed in th' Klondike had coom back alive."
Punch, who says to a brother flunky, "I say, Tummas, wot is taxes?" And he told them his principles and promised to do his best for them, and bade them good-night, and went away leaving them parched and dry and downcast. And then the other fellow came, and won their hearts and "set them up again."
He had never been ill or heart-sick, and he laughed when he talked of it, as though the remembrance was not a recalling of disaster. "Clemmin' or no clemmin'. I wish I'd lived the loife tha's lived," Tummas Hibblethwaite had said. Her amazement would indeed have been great if she had been told that she secretly shared his feeling.
"Do not be rude, Thomas," said Miss Alicia, with dignity. "Dunnot be rude thysen," replied Tummas. "I'm noan o' thy lad." Tembarom walked over to the sofa. "Say," he began with jocular intent, "you've got a grouch on, ain't you?" Tummas turned on him eyes which bored.

"Tummas," said Mrs. Dalton, "I think you might be much more creditably employed, considering the coat you wear, and the house you live in, than to be carrying messages between your young master and girls that chance to be in this house."

Had you seen how the Mounseers looked when four-and-twenty rampaging he-devils, sword and pistol, cut and thrust, pell-mell came tumbling into the redoubt! Why, sir, we left in three minutes as many artillerymen's heads as there were cannon-balls. It was, "Ah sacre!" "D you, take that!" "O mon Dieu!" "Run him through!"
"Wheer'd I get papers from?" the boy asked testily. "Foak like us hasn't got th' brass for 'em." "I'll bring you some New York papers," promised Tembarom, grinning a little in anticipation. "And we'll talk about the news that's in them. The Sunday Earth is full of pictures. I used to work on that paper myself." "Tha did?" Tummas cried excitedly.
