"Can't much happen, wid that ould wuman in the garden there, an' the young wife upstairs, an' the fine young fella sittin' alone in his room achin' for the sound of her voice! Shure, they're together at this minnit, p'r'aps." The Young Doctor tapped Kernaghan again on the head with his whip. "You're a wild Irishman still," he said, "but I think none the worse of you for that.
I say, did you bring anything to eat?" "Some bread that I couldn't manage at breakfast." "So did I," said the boy. "P'r'aps we may want it by-and-by." "We want better lights, Dummy," said Mark, after they had progressed some distance.
Would ye mind takin' a letter from me to Rosey, and bringin' back an answer?" Renshaw stared speechlessly at this absurd realization of his wish of a moment before. "I don't think I understand you," he stammered. "P'r'aps not," returned Nott, with great gravity. "But that's not so much matter to you ez your time and expenses."
What I'm thinking of is: Can I get back my share what I ought to have 'ad for the last twenty years?" "Get 'er to take you back first," counselled his friend. "Thirty-five years is along time, and p'r'aps she has lost 'er love for you. Was you good-looking in those days?" "Yes," snapped Mr. Davis; "I ain't altered much . 'Sides, what about her?" "That ain't the question," said the other.
When he ain't robbed of 'is money, he wastes it; and when 'e don't do either, he loses it. I knew one chap who hid 'is money. He'd been away ten months, and, knowing 'ow easy money goes, 'e made up sixteen pounds in a nice little parcel and hid it where nobody could find it. That's wot he said, and p'r'aps 'e was right. All I know is, he never found it.
"I don't care," said Tristram affably. "P'r'aps you don't know what 'Don't Care' came to?" "No, I don't." "Well, he came to a place. It was a good deal deeper down than this hole I'm digging." "What's the hole for?" "My doll, here. I've got to put away childish things; so I'm going to cover her right up and never see her face again. Oh! oh!" She began to sob as if her heart would break.
"Polly," said Captain Samson, sitting down under the shelter of the tarpaulin, and drawing the child's fair head on his breast, "I never spoke to you before on a subject that p'r'aps you won't understand, but I am forced to do it now. It's about money." "About money!" exclaimed Polly in surprise; "oh, father, surely you forget!
"P'r'aps it don't seem quite so funny to them as is bein' burnt out," suggested the Captain. "Of course it don't, but that can't be helped, you know can it, sir? What can't be cured must be endoored, as the proverb says. Get along, old fellow, don't spare his ribs double fare, you know; we'll lose 'em if you don't."
"P'r'aps you'd just look at it and see if it's important," he suggested. Mrs. Tipping took the letter from him, and, after remarking on the strangeness of the handwriting, read aloud: "Dear Jack: If you want to see Mr. Norton, come to 10, John Street, Walworth, and be careful nobody sees you." "Jack," said the mate, stooping for the envelope. "Why it must be meant for Mr. for Jack Fraser."
Plainly audible in the silence of the room the seconds ticked away on the clock, and still she did not speak; at last she murmured: "Oh, it's nothin', nothin', only I jest remembered I've promised to leave Cloudy soon an', p'r'aps, we might never be together again you an' me an' The Polka.
