While they sat thus toying with the lumps of gold, the conversation reverted to the sender of it, and the Captain told such entertaining anecdotes of bush life, in all of which "Uncle Willum" had been an actor, that the afternoon arrived before Mrs Stoutley had time to wish for it. "Thank 'ee, ma'am," he said, "I've dined. I always dines at one o'clock if I can manage it."
"Thee mind what I tells 'ee," rejoins Rachel saucily, "and doan't 'ee kep blethering about fairings." Tom resolves in his heart to give Willum the remainder of his two shillings after the back-swording. Joe Willis has all the luck to-day.
When I finished the job, the Rev. William Auld was getting through his lecture to Andrew. " And you won't step a foot out of this place, neither shall you eat, till you renounce your devilish vow and speak to the wife of your bosom, as a God-fearing man should." Sonorously from behind the door came Clark's voice. "Willum Auld! are ye a meenister o' the gospel?" "Yes!"
Here he was in safety, as no grown person could follow without getting over their knees; and the luckless Charity, while her aunt scolded her from the dairy door, for being "allus hankering about arter our Willum, instead of minding Master Tom," would descend from threats to coaxing, to lure Tom out of the muck, which was rising over his shoes, and would soon tell a tale on his stockings, for which she would be sure to catch it from missus's maid.
He found himself between two fat farmers, and this was the conversation broad Lincolnshire, of course: 'Did tha hear Lady Mildred Wharton say them things, Willum? 'Aye, a did. 'What did tha think, Willum? 'What did tha think, George? 'Wal, aa thowt Laady Mildred Wharton wor a graät fule, Willum, if tha asks me. 'I'll uphowd tha, George!
Besides, Willum told me at parting to look after you and see that you wanted for nothing, which I promised faithfully to do. You've some regard for Willum's wishes, ma'am? you wouldn't have me break my promises to Willum, would you?"
An' I hist him on his horse an' ask a polisman to show him th' way home." "Be hivins, Hinnissy, I want me advice up-to-date, an' whin Mack an' Willum Jennings tells me what George Wash'nton an' Thomas Jefferson said, I says to thim: 'Gintlemen, they larned their thrade befure th' days iv open plumbin', I says.
An' now no wan'll speak to Willum Waldorf Asthor, an' he's not goin' to be a jook at all, an' he may have to come back here an' be nachurlized over again like a Bohamian. He's all broke up about it. He's gone to Germany to take a bath." "Lord, help us," said Mr. Hennessy, "can't he get wan nearer home?" "It seems not," said Mr. Dooley. "Mebbe the Prince iv Wales has had th' wather cut off.
I have me information fr'm Hinnissy, an' Hinnissy have it fr'm Willum Joyce, an' ye know how close Joyce is to Finerty. Hinnissy was in last night. 'Well, says I, 'what's th' news? I says. 'News? says he. 'They'se on'y wan thing talked about, he says. 'We're goin' to have a war with England, he says. 'An' th' whole Irish army has inlisted, he says.
Here the wife, a hospitable-looking old woman, interposed. "Willum, don't ye think as the gentleman might be put to sleep in the room up at the House, where George slept last time he was here to see us? His bed's there still, ye know. It's a very good room, sir," she argued, addressing me; "and I can give ye a pair of blankets in no time." "But," said I, "the master of the house doesn't know me.
