One does not offer you Lafitte, captain, because I believe it is all sold to the railroad dining cars in your great country; but this Brine-Mouton is of a good year, and Mr Whish will give me news of it. 'That's a queer idea of yours! cried the captain, bursting with a sigh from the spell that had bound him.
The Vizier drew a few feet aside: taking a large ladle full of the boiling liquid, he advanced "Whish! bang, bang! pop!" the executioner was dead at my feet, shot through the head; the ladle of scalding oil had been dashed in the face of the unhappy Grand Vizier, who lay on the plain, howling. "Whish! bang! pop! Hurrah! charge! forwards! cut them down! no quarter!" I saw yes, no, yes, no, yes!
O mea culpa, mea maxima culpa! But though the preacher trips, shall not the doctrine be good? Yea, brethren! Here be the rods. Look you, here are the scourges. Choose me a nice long, swishing, buddy one, light and well-poised in the handle, thick and bushy at the tail. Pick me out a whip-cord thong with some dainty knots in it and now we all deserve it whish, whish, whish!
I emptied the last of the sangaree into the two pint tumblers out of which we were drinking, and holding mine up, said, "Here's better luck to you next time, O'Gawler!" As I spoke the words whish! a cannon-ball cut the tumbler clean out of my hand, and plumped into poor O'Gawler's stomach. It settled him completely, and of course I never got my seven hundred rupees.
"If I had known what it was about," he proceeded; "but that ould scoundrel of a Prophet ay, an' that other ould scoundrel of a masther o' mine hem ay whish but what am I sayin'? but if I had known it, 'ud go hard but I'd give him a lift so that he might get out o' the way, at any rate."
"My friend's name is Huish and not Whish, sir," said the captain, with a flush. "I beg your pardon, I am sure. Huish and not Whish; certainly," said Attwater. "I was about to say that I have still eight dozen," he added, fixing the captain with his eye. "Eight dozen what?" said Davis. "Sherry," was the reply. "Eight dozen excellent sherry.
Jimbo dropped through the air to her side again with a gasp. "I thought it was a big hole in the sky with fire rushing through," he explained breathlessly. The boy stared, full of wonder and delight, at the huge flaming circle that seemed to fill half the heavens in front of him. "Look out!" cried the governess, seizing his hand. Whish! whew! whirr!
"Thin, be the book, you'll get both, Phelim, for your dacency," said Donovan; "but, you see I wouldn't be bullied into' puttin' one foot past the other, for the best man that ever stepped on black leather." "Whish!" said Appleton, "that's the go! Success ould heart! Give us your hand, Paddy, here's your good health, an' may you never button an empty pocket!" "Is all settled?" inquired Molly.
Then he looked in his little glass as he steadied himself with one hand, and then in his highly-pitched voice he said, as he looked round at me with a faint laugh, and passed his hand over his chin "It's a very good job, isn't it, that I don't have to shave? I'm sure I couldn't use a razor with the ship rising and falling like this." Thud! Whish!
How he would regret it, if he knew you had been here!" said Attwater. "'E's on the Trinity 'All, ain't he?" asked Huish. "And if you could tell me where the Trinity 'All was, you would confer a favour, Mr. Whish!" was the reply. "I suppose she has a native crew?" said Davis. "Since the secret has been kept ten years, one would suppose she had," replied Attwater. "Well, now, see 'ere!" said Huish.
