"Wotever can be the matter wi' you, Ned," said David, looking at his companion with a perplexed air; "you're a young, smart, 'ealthy fellar, in a business quite to your mind, an' with a good-lookin' young wife at 'ome, not to mention a babby. W'y wot more would you 'ave, Ned? You didn't ought for to look blue."
I'll make her my residooary legatee, an' wotever else is needful; but, in the meantime, you may as well see that she's got all that she wants. Build her a noo house too. I'm told that Grubb's Court ain't exactly aristocratic or clean; see to that. Wotever you advance out o' yer own pocket, I'll pay back with interest. That's to begin with, tell 'em.
Jim Scroggles shook his head, partly as a rebuke to the impertinent little monkey and partly as an indication of the hopelessness of his being able to return a satisfactory answer to his own question. At last he started up, exclaiming, "Wotever comes on it, there's no use o' sitting here," and walked straight forward at a brisk pace.
"Then I step back, so," moving backward with long regular strides, "an' I reckon I count fifteen paces. Then I clear another space," he added grimly, like some fiendish conjurer describing the process of his tricks, "and stand ready. Now, 'Tough' McCulloch, or Anton, or wotever you notion best, skunk as you are, you're goin' to die decent.
"If anythink, I should say it partakes of the diabolic; so you've got no occasion to make it wus than it is by twistin' it about like that. Wotever do you do it for?" Little Jim replied by a sound which can only be represented by the letters "sk," pronounced in the summit of the nose.
The U.P. may be patriotic and estimable, and 'ave the best intentions and all that, but its outside the Constitooshion; and what's more, I'm not goin' to spend my last blood an' my last money in a democratic country to suit the tastes of any single man, or triumpherate, or wotever it may be made of.
Cubbins got up to go at last, saying that he 'ad got a call to make at the police-station, and they went out together. "Nine o'clock sharp," he ses, as they shook hands, "on Tower Hill." "I'll be there," ses Sam. "And, wotever you do, no noise, no calling out," ses the tec, "and don't mention a word of this to a living soul."
Joe, little chap! here's Dick. Look at poor old Dick. Don't you know him? Don't go away without sayin' good-by to Dick wot loves you." Slowly a little fluttering smile parted the lips, and the blue eyes unclosed once more. "Dick!" he gasped; "I wanted to tell you, Dick, but I can't. I ain't forgot. 'Own up to it wotever' I minded it all. Kiss me Dick. God bless missis.
All I know is he was drownded when he was found. Wotever become o' that skiff, Bill?" "And what about Mr. Stanton's son?" Roy asked. "Well, they got his hat an' his coat that he must a' thrown off an' that's all. Th' old man 'ud never look at the launch again.
"I wouldn't mind going in to oblige you," ses Bob Pretty, "but the pond is so full o' them cold, slimy efts; I don't fancy them crawling up agin me, and, besides that, there's such a lot o' deep holes in it. And wotever you do don't put your 'ead under; you know 'ow foul that water is." Keeper Lewis pretended not to listen to 'im.
