"And what for all this?" I said. "Surely you haven't taken me up here to give me your impressions concerning Miss Staggles?" "Well, I hev partly, yer honour. The truth is" here he sunk his voice to a whisper "she's very thick with that willain with a hinfidel's name. They're in league, sur." "How do you know?"
"But you're a-drinkin' now!" said Pat. "You know what I mean, you small willain; I drink nothin' with spirits in it." "Well, I don't see what you gains by that, Bob, for I heerd Fred Martin say you was nat'rally `full o' spirit, so abstainin' 'll make no difference." "Pat," said Bob sternly, "if you don't clap a stopper on your tongue, I'll wollop you." Pat became grave at once.
On the left side of the road in a clearing stood an old house; a dim light was burning in a lower window. "'Go on in there, said the willain, putting the pistil to the back of my head. As the door stood ajar I went in, to a narrow, dark passage, the man all the time at my back. He opened a door on the left side and made me go into a dark room.
And when I am rejected and spurned away, said Martin, turning crimson at the thought, 'it is not by him; my own blood stirred against me; but by Pecksniff Pecksniff, Mark! 'Well, but we know beforehand, returned the politic Mr Tapley, 'that Pecksniff is a wagabond, a scoundrel, and a willain. 'A most pernicious villain! said Martin. 'A most pernicious willain.
And do you mean to say, sur, that that 'ere beautiful Miss Forrest, who I've put down for you, is goin' to git married to that 'ere somnamblifyin' waccinatin' willain, if his dutiful mate ain't a found before Christmas Eve?" "Only nine days, Simon." "But it mustn't be, yer honour." "So I say, Simon; and that's why I've sent for you." "But I can't do nothink much, sur.
"'I went to her room last night, and I began to tell her more about him and compare him with you. "'Well? says he. "'Well, she got into a temper, and told me that she would not allow Mr. Blake's name to be associated with yours in her room. "Then, sur, that 'ere willain he swore like a trooper, and said he'd make you rue the day you were born.
Since then I've guv up the tender passion and guv up writin' letters." "Well, you have had bad luck, Simon; but perhaps you'll be more fortunate next time. Mr. Temple tells me you have something to tell me about the ghost. What is it?" "You ain't a-seen that 'ere hinfidel willain since he went away from 'ere, Mr. Blake, have 'ee?" "I saw him in Hyde Park one day, but have never spoken to him."
Come along quietly and you shall receive no harm. But at the first cry, or attempt to escape this shall stop you!" And with that the willain held the mizzle of a pistil so nigh to my nose that I smelt brimstone, while t'other one bound a silk hankercher round my eyes, and then took poor Molly's bridle and led her along. I couldn't see, in course, and I dassint breathe for fear o' the pistil.
The hearing was likely to be frightful when so prefaced by Grannie. "There's no guid ever cam' o' ca'in' things oot o' their ain names," she began, "an" it's my min' 'at gien ever ae man was a willain, an' gien ever ae man had rizzon no to lie quaiet whan he was doon, that man was your father's uncle his gran' uncle, that is, the auld captain, as we ca'd him.
"Massa Keene," protested the negro, "it not right dat young gentleum should call deir faithful servant a `black willain' after him hab work hard to make um conf'ble and keep um bert' tidy aboard dat dirty old Shark. Mos' ungrateful to call black gentleum a willain after all dat I has done for you. You has hurt my feelin's, sah!" "Have I?" said Jack.
