You got a kiss-me-an'-let-me-die sort o' feelin', hey? Some nice bit o' stuff been turnin' ye down, bo?" "That'll be about enough!" said Ravenslee, quick and fierce; and, meeting the flash of his eye, the Spider edged away again. "Sufferin' Mike!" said he, "you sure ain't doin' the affable chat stunt t'night!"
"Ten minutes is up!" she announced as she entered, "and Hermy, if you don't want th' doctor t' see you in your nightdress an' that " "Ann!" gasped Hermione, drawing the folds of her kimono about her. "Anyway, he's coming." Up sprang Hermione, in doing which she lost a slipper. "Give it me!" she pleaded, for Ravenslee had caught it up. "Dear, you have one be content," he answered.
Been callin' for you the last three days 'e has, ever since 'e ketched one as fair doubled 'im up " "I I don't understand. Who are you?" "A admirer of the Guv, ma'am. A trusted friend of 'is, miss come t' take ye to 'is poor, yearnin' arms, lady " "But who oh, what do you mean?" "Mr. Ravenslee, ma'am." "Mr. Ravenslee!" she echoed, her colour changing. "Yes. Y' see he's dyin', miss!"
"This is Hermy's flat, an' I guess you think you're safe here but you ain't! I'm thinkin' out which'll do th' least harm to her furniture to lick ye here or drag you out on to the landin' first!" Mr. Ravenslee lounged lower in the armchair and yawned behind the box of matches.
And ever the Spider's respect and admiration for the mild-eyed, quiet-spoken champion waxed and grew. "Bo!" said he, dexterously catching the toppling bird, glass case and all, for the second time, and addressing Ravenslee with it clasped to his heart, "bo," he repeated, his eyes shining, "I guess Joe Madden, the greatest battler of 'em all, is Joe Madden still.
"Scand'lous!" "Wicked!" Until glancing up, her sharp features softened, and she smiled up into the child's happy face. "So Hazel's found ye, has she, Mr. Geoffrey. An' talkin' o' her, you've sure made the Bowkers a happy fam'ly. But, my land, Mr. Ravenslee, the scand'lous prices as th' tradespeople has been allowed t' charge you these last six months! Here's th' butcher listen t' this "
"Bo, he's got a sleep-pill in each mitt if if he can land his wallop right! Yes, siree, if Bud can hit a guy where it'll do most good, that guy's sure goin' to forget his cares an' troubles for a bit. But he's slow an' heavy, Bud is, though I ain't never seen him mix it in th' ring, mind." "H'm," said Ravenslee thoughtfully, "M'Ginnis seems to have it all his own way around here why?"
"Thirty of 'em, Joe," said Ravenslee, holding out a wad of bills. "Why, sir," said Joe, backing away, "axing yer pardon, but I'd rayther not you give me such uncommon good wages, sir, and a bonus every race we run, win or lose so, sir, I I'd rayther not " "Not?" cried the Old Un, "not take money as is 'arf mine Oh, kick 'im, somebody kick 'im! Pound 'im for a pigeon-'earted perishin' pork pig "
"But," said Ravenslee, as their hands gripped, "I don't want you to take any chances on my account, or run any " "Fudge, bo, fudge! I ain't takin' no chances " "Well, I'm coming along to see you don't!" said Ravenslee, reaching for his hat. "Not on your life, bo; you'd queer th' whole show.
"Why, what's wrong with Spike?" "Dunno I guess they've been slinging dope into him. And he's copped it pretty bad from Young Alf too look at that eye!" "Spike!" said Ravenslee, shaking him, "Spike, what is it? Buck up, old fellow!" But Spike only stared dazedly and moaned. "It's dope all right," nodded the Spider, "or else Bud's mixed th' drinks on him." "Damn him!" said Ravenslee softly.
