"What are you saying?" said he. "Simply that for the last three days a big chap with a harp on his back has been keeping her in view. I twigged him at once, and he too saw her go into the swell crib that you say belongs to that Duke." Tantaine pondered a little. "A street musician," muttered he. "I must find out all about this.
He entered the High Street as Wren was turning into the confectioner's, saw him, and made a note of it for future reference. When Wren returned to the house just before lock-up, he sought counsel of Walton. "I say," he said, as he handed over the honey he had saved so neatly from destruction, "what would you do? Just as I was coming out of the shop, I barged into Fenn. He must have twigged me."
"Has he twigged you?" "Yes." "And me?" "I don't know; we shall see to-morrow." "I hope not," said Eric; "I'm sorry for you, Charlie." "Can't be cured, must be endured," said Wildney. "Well, good night! and don't lose heart."
I don't want to be so, nor it isn't my fault. And poor Milly broke into a flood of tears, and stamped on the ground, and buried her face in her short frock, which she whisked up to her eyes; and an odder figure of grief I never beheld. 'And I could not make head or tail of what he was saying, cried poor Milly through her buff cotton, with a stamp; 'and you twigged every word o't.
"I twigged it, anyway. I went out, and I drove the biggest kind of spike through that fool-scheme plumb through its heart. Tomorrow a certain man will come to me oh, I could almost tell you the kind of neck-tie he'll wear and he'll put up his bluff to me, and I'll hear him out and then then I'll let the floor drop out from under him." "Aye!" said Semple, with relish.
All in front the plain is white with mist; or pinkish grey with the unseen agglomeration of bare tree boughs and trunks, of sere field; till, nearer us, the trees become more visible, the short vinebearing elms in the fields, interlacing their branches compressed by distance, the clumps of poplars, so scant and far between from nearly, so serried and compact from afar; and between them an occasional flush, a tawny vapour of the orange twigged osiers; and then, still nearer, the expanse of sere field, of mottled, crushed-together, yellowed grass and grey brown leaves; things of the summer which winter is burying to make room for spring.
Well, if he was, then the girl was lost and dead; but if he wasn't well, I twigged it she'd got on the railroad, and, by being real pleasant to all the car men, I found out, quite by the way and private, how she might have got on, and where any girl had got off, till by patience and perseverance I got on your track; and I've been eight months trying to fathom your deepness and win your affections.
I heard not all his talk with Starbuck; but to my poor eye Starbuck then looked something as I the other evening felt. Be sure the old Mogul has fixed him, too. I twigged it, knew it; had had the gift, might readily have prophesied it for when I clapped my eye upon his skull I saw it. Well, Stubb, wise Stubb that's my title well, Stubb, what of it, Stubb? Here's a carcase.
This excellent man appears to have sunk into himself in a sitting posture, with a thin leg crossed over his knee, a book in one hand, and a finger of the other under his chin, I believe, or applied to the side of his nose, or to some equally familiar purpose; while his exceedingly homely and wrinkled face, held a little on one side, twinkles at you with the shrewdest complacency, as if he were looking right into your eyes, and twigged something there which you had half a mind to conceal from him.
"I have always done it, haven't I? And Hector was with me till a few minutes ago, when he took it into his foolish old head to run after a rabbit. Is your mother any better this afternoon?" "Sit down," he commanded abruptly. "I want to talk to you." She hung the bunch of holly on the twigged limb of a small oak and sat down on a moss-covered rock.
