I was sullen and wrathful and resentful, an unlicked cub, I suspect, whose complaints were selfish ones concerning the giving up of my college life and its pleasures, and the sacrifice of social position and wealth. Mother had or so we thought at the time a sum in her own name which would enable us to live; although not as we had lived by a great deal.
They set out upon their travels unlicked cubs: and in their travels they only lick one another, for they seldom go into any other company.
"It looks to me," said Bull Hunter mildly, "that you're trying to force a fight on me. Stranger, I can't fight a man as old as you are." Perhaps it was a tactless speech, but Bull was too dazed to think of grace in words. It brought a murderous snarl from the other. "I'm old enough to be Jack Hood maybe you've heard of me? And I'm young enough to polish off every unlicked cub in these parts.
I thought I should make short work of him, and give him a lesson against meddling great unlicked cub as he was, while I had had the best training at Berlin and Paris in fencing; but somehow those big strong fellows, from their very clumsiness, throw one out. And he meant mischief yes, that he did. I saw it in his eyes.
This Rámtonu was an office menial hailing from the district of Gáya, in Behar. He was an intelligent man, but rather unlicked, and was the butt of the younger clerks, who delighted in mocking his uncouth up-country dialect. Pulin, however, had never joined in "ragging" him, and, on one occasion, he lent Rámtonu Rs. 7 for his wife, who was about to increase the population of Gáya.
"Officer," I gasped, "have you seen anything of an old gentleman with a big white mustache?" The unlicked cub of a common constable seemed to eye me the more suspiciously for the flattering form of my address. "Took a hansom," said he at length. A hansom! Then he was not following the others on foot; there was no guessing his game. But something must be said or done.
"Wait till young Ebeneezer and Rebecca get more accustomed to their surroundings, and then you'll have a Fourth of July every day, with Christmas, Thanksgiving, and St. Patrick's Day thrown in. Willie is the worst little terror that ever went unlicked, and the twins come next."
He made a limerick on this particular fancy. It was a very bad limerick, as bad, probably, as his theories on pyridine and its relation to the alkaloids which had floored him in his last exam.; but the Gang applauded enthusiastically, and drank to Christine out of mugs of beer. Unlicked and cynical as they were, they seemed to have a chivalrous tenderness for her.
Alas! poor Lancelot! an unlicked bear, 'with all his sorrows before him! 'Come along, quoth Bracebridge, between snatches of a tune, his coolness maddening Lancelot. 'Old Lavington will find us dry clothes, a bottle of port, and a brace of charming daughters, at the Priory. In with you, little Mustang of the prairie! Neck or nothing!
Who can tell how meet he may have been in his young days to play the part of the lover or of the hero who can say that in early life he had been the same harsh, unlicked, and rugged boor that, in his maturer age, he proved or how far the neglected rudeness which afterwards marked his air, and garb, and manners, may not have been the growth of that reckless apathy not unfrequently produced by bitter misfortunes and disappointments in early life?
