I thank 'ee kind, I do and you, miss." "Ah'll thank 'ee, owd hoss, to pass no word agen Ned Blossom. My friend 'e be." Then, to the vast surprise of Bandy-legs, Dick pushed a half-crown into his hand, and added, pleasantly as you please: "Give nags feed an' rub down. And, when Ned comes rolling along to trot 'em home, tell 'im Sam Bunce won't forget Town Moor and Challacombe's Leger."
This having been done, and the dialogue having fairly reached its termination and the youth exhibiting some strong symptoms of weariness Bunce took his departure for the present, not, however, without again proffering his services.
Everything else is faded, weather-worn, and old, everything filled with sensuous beauty sky, earth, lagoon, garden wall, murmuring ripples the same wonderful Venice that thrills its lovers the world over. And the old painters are still here Walter Brown, Bunce, Bompard, Faulkner, and the rest successors of Ziem and Rico men who have loved her all their lives.
Bunce was a long-sighted fellow, and beheld the promise which it held forth, at a distance, of a large and thriving business in the neighborhood; and he had too much sagacity not to be perfectly aware of the advantage, to a tradesman, resulting from a prior occupation of the ground.
Bunce was made to understand that liberties would probably be taken with the house, such as had not yet been perpetrated in her time; for the late heir had never made the Manor his home from the time of his leaving school.
Daubeny was quite right to join his standard to that of Mr. Turnbull on such an issue. Mr. Low was the reformer now, and Phineas found himself obliged to fight a losing battle on behalf of an acknowledged abuse. He never went near Bunce; but, unfortunately for him, Bunce caught him once in the street and showed him no mercy. "Slide was a little 'eavy on you in the Banner the other day, eh, Mr.
But tak care, Alec " here Thomas paused from his work, and turning towards the boy with a trowelful of mortar in his hand, spoke very slowly and solemnly "tak ye care that ye beir no malice against the maister. Justice itsel," dune for the sake o' a private grudge, will bunce back upo' the doer.
Sir Thomas Dillaway is not Alderman Bunce, nor any other friend or foe I wot of; a mere creature of the counting-house, he is a human ledger-mushroom: rub away the mildew from your hearts, if any seem to see yourselves in him: neither have I ventured to transplant Miss Cassiopeia Curtis's red hair to dear Maria's head: imitate her graces, if you will, maiden; but charge me not with copying your locks.
Fine brig, this, 'leven knots on a bow-line, I'll bet, fine state-room, good grub, nothin' to do but save souls and preach the Word on Sunday. Guess I'll strike the fat duffer for the job in the morn " The rest of the sentence merged into a snore, and Mr. Todd slept through the night in the fumes of tobacco, which so permeated his very being that Captain Bunce remarked it at breakfast.
"Then you'll wait till I choose to move." "If you don't get out of the way I shall take the soles off your boots," said Bunce, putting back his rubber. "I'll speak to papa about your insolence," cried the boy, with his eyes flashing and his fists clenched; and I thought he was going to strike Bunce. "Well," said a sharp ringing voice, "speak to him then. What is it?"
