But these two the man especially had nothing to say, yet ached for words. "Nance Treweek's married," the woman managed to tell him at last. "I was thinking it likely, by the way she carried on last Maying." "That wasn' the man. She've kept company with two since him, and mated with a fourth man altogether quite a different sort, in the commercial traveller line." "Did he wear a seal weskit?"
I counts upon my fingers. When they be used up, I begins upon my buttons. I ha'n't got no buttons visible that is 'pon my week-a-day clothes; so I keeps the long sums for Sundays, and adds 'em up and down my weskit during sermon. Don't tell any person." "I won't." "That's right. I don't want it known. Ever see a gipsy?" "Oh, yes often."
Shakers was all goin kerslap to the Promist Land, and nobody want goin to stand at the gate to bar 'em out, if they did they'd git run over. The Shakers then danced and sung agin, and arter they was threw, one of 'em axed me what I thawt of it. Sez I, "What duz it siggerfy?" "What?" sez he. "Why this jumpin up and singin? This long weskit bizniss, and this anty-matrimony idee?
My master had said twenty pretty things to Lady Griffin, befor the shevalier had finished smoothing his hat, staring at her, and sighing fit to bust his weskit. O luv, luv! THIS isn't the way to win a woman, or my name's not Fitzroy Yellowplush! Myself, when I begun my carear among the fair six, I was always sighing and moping, like this poar Frenchman. What was the consquints?
Would you know him if you saw him?" "Know him? Oh no no fear I know the beauty!" "Well, what sort of looking man is he?" asked Mr Barnacle. "He's a ugly bloke with a mug like yourn, and a 'orseshoe pin in 'is weskit." "Yes? And what colour is his hair?" "Carrots!" That was quite enough. This unromantic portrait corresponded sufficiently nearly with the description already given.
Old Dan'l went off, and Peter followed, to return in five minutes with a great shallow wooden cistern across the long barrow, old Dan'l looking very grim as he walked by his side, and carrying the familiar clothes-prop. "There, that's as good as a punt," he said. "Look here! You'd better kneel down on it; I should take off my jacket and weskit, and roll up my sleeves, if I was you."
"He has retired." "Wall, my pretty dears," sez I, "let's have sum fun. Let's play puss in the corner. What say?" "Air you a Shaker, sir?" they axed. "Wall my pretty dears, I haven't arrayed my proud form in a long weskit yit, but if they was all like you perhaps I'd jine 'em. As it is, I'm a Shaker pro-temporary." They was full of fun. I seed that at fust, only they was a leetle skeery.
'Oh! you know best, sir, I returned modestly. 'I can't be buyer and seller too, said Mr. Dolloby. 'Put a price on this here little weskit. 'Would eighteenpence be? I hinted, after some hesitation. Mr. Dolloby rolled it up again, and gave it me back. 'I should rob my family, he said, 'if I was to offer ninepence for it.
When he left I went to my door to see if there was a policeman in sight, but of course there wasn't. I doubt if he'd have got him, though. He was off like a shot as soon as he got the shilling down a side street and then up another, going towards King's Cross. Here's the pencil-case he pawned. I didn't bring the weskit, but you can 'ave it if it's any good to you."
He held the door for Marjie to pass before him to the dining-room. Cam was not one of the too-familiar men. There was a gentleman's heart under the old spotted velvet "weskit," as he called his vest, and with all his bad grammar, a quaint dignity and purity of manner and speech to women.
