Thomasson would have liked to say a word before they parted as to no violence being contemplated or used; something smug and fair-seeming that would go to show that his right hand did not understand what his left was doing. But even his impudence was unequal to the task, and with a shamefaced good-night he secured the memorandum in his pocket-book and sneaked up to bed.
From this reflection, however, he was roused by a new sally on Soane's part. 'But, crib me! you are very fine to-night, Mr. Thomasson, he said, staring about him afresh. 'Ten o'clock, and you are lighted as for a drum! What is afoot? The tutor smirked and rubbed his hands. 'Well, I I was expecting a visitor, Sir George. 'Ah, you dog! She is not here, but you are expecting her. Mr.
From a boy he would have his toy. I've whipped him till the blood ran, and he's gone to it. 'But without her consent, said Mr. Thomasson, 'it would not be possible. 'I mistrust him, the viscountess answered. 'So do you go and find this baggage, and drop a word to her to go in company you understand. Lord! he might marry her that way yet.
If it were not should I be going back to the house? Should I be going to face you? Mr. Thomasson protested. The argument impressed Pomeroy; his grasp relaxed. 'The devil is in it, then! he muttered. 'For no one else could have set a carriage at that gate at that minute! Anyway, I'll know.
Whereas now, a remote and impossible contingency was attached to it. Alas! the tutor saw very clearly that my lady's promises were pie-crust, made to be broken. She caught the look, but attributed it to another cause. 'What do you fear, man? she said. 'Sho! he is out of the house by this time. Mr. Thomasson would not have ventured far on that assurance, but he had himself seen Mr.
And if it be any matter to your ladyship, you have only your unmannerly words to thank for it. 'Ho! ho! the viscountess cried in affected contempt. 'Are we to be called in question by creatures like these? You vixen! I spit upon you! Mr. Thomasson smiled in a sickly fashion. For one thing, he began to feel hungry; he had not supped.
But the man moaned again; and then, as if the shaking had roused him from a state of stupor, sat up slowly in his corner; she saw, peering more closely at him, that he had been strangely huddled before. At last he lowered his hand from his face and disclosed his features. It was her astonishment was immense it was Mr. Thomasson! In her surprise Julia uttered a cry.
Oh, no, there will be no violence, Mr. Pomeroy answered with an unpleasant sneer. And they all laughed; Mr. Thomasson tremulously, Lord Almeric as if he scarcely entered into the other's meaning and laughed that he might not seem outside it.
And, after all, she is as good as Lady Macclesfield or Lady Falmouth! As good? She is better, the saucy baggage! By the Lord, I have a good mind to do it! Mr. Thomasson sat dumbfounded. At length, 'You are jesting! You cannot mean it, he said.
''Tis he's the blackguard, my dear! the honourable Mr. Dunborough answered, panting, but in the best of tempers. 'Bring me a tankard of something; and put that rubbish outside, landlord. He has got no more than he deserved, my dear. Mr. Thomasson uttered a moan, and one of the waiters stooping over him asked him if he could stand.
