Corbin, I pity your feelins at the grave of my pore dear cousin, knowing he is before his Maker, and you can't bring him back. Umph! er er very good very good indeed," said the Colonel, hastily refolding the letter. "Very well meaning and er" "Go on," said Corbin over his shoulder, "you haven't read all." "Ah, true. I perceive I overlooked something. Um um. 'May God forgive you, Mr.
"Well, my dear," answered Oldbuck, propitiated by the compliment, "I will rein in my satire, and, if possible, speak no more of the phoca I will not even speak of sealing a letter, but say umph, and give a nod to you when I want the wax-light I am not monitoribus asper, but, Heaven knows, the most mild, quiet, and easy of human beings, whom sister, niece, and nephew, guide just as best pleases them."
"I fear the King's character will suffer under your mummery." "Umph," said Albert, muttering what he dared not utter aloud "were I to follow the example close up, I know whose character would be in the greatest danger." "Well, now we must adjust the defence of the outworks, the signals, &c. betwixt us both, and the best way to baffle the enemy for the longest time possible."
"Why, I I thought assumed that you knew I was married from the beginning. I We aren't together, though; haven't been " "Umph!" "It's just that I'm temporarily embarrassed." "That was a pretty rough way you left me in the lurch. Those actions don't get a girl very far in this business." "It was sickness." He leaned forward to pat her hand, his lids somehow seeming to thicken.
Lock the doors, Conrad, and don't admit any one without first consulting me. By Jove, I'd like to wring that rascal's neck. A Count! Umph!" "Ach, he is of the noblest family in all the land," sighed old Gretel. "His grandfather was a fine man." I contrived to subdue my rage and disappointment and somewhat loudly returned to the topic from which we were drifting.
He answered me with a "Umph!" which afforded me no clue whatever to his opinion of my outspoken reply; and, my business with him being at an end, I took my leave. "Have you any engagement for to-night?" he asked, extending his hand very cordially. And upon my answering that I had not, he said: "Then come and dine with me; seven sharp. I want to see a little more of you."
"At least I haven't very much money; but I would pay you as soon as I could, if I suppose you wouldn't be so kind so very kind as to agree to that?" "Umph!" I said. "I don't generally give credit; but as it was your father's, I might stretch a point for once if I should find that I have it." "Oh, thank you!" she said with a flush. "It is a kindness that I have no right to expect. Thank you!"
"I am an experienced leader of the cotillon," answered the young man in evening clothes, with a sweet and serious dignity. "Umph!" "I play a fair hand at Bridge, and have an unexceptionable eye for matching worsteds." "G-r-r!" "That about sums up my list of accomplishments, but I dare say that I could learn to dig, for I have my full complement of limbs.
"Very likely I shall have a nap. Bring up hot water at half-past six and shave me before dinner." The valet moved towards the door. Swithin raised himself. "What did Mr. James say to you?" "He said you ought to have another doctor; two doctors, he said, better than one. He said, also, he would look in again on his way 'home." Swithin grunted, "Umph! What else did he say?"
"Some of the time," she added, recovering herself. "Umph!" grunted Rachel, darting a sharp glance at her. "Have you a husband living?" inquired Rachel, after a pause. "Yes," said Mrs. Hardwick. "Have you?" "I!" repeated Aunt Rachel, scornfully. "No, neither living nor dead. I'm thankful to say I never married. I've had trials enough without that. Does Ida's mother live in the city?"
