Lord Colambre was "indeed undeniably an old acquaintance:" and as soon as she had recovered from her first natural start and vulgar exclamation, she with very easy familiarity hoped "my Lady Clonbrony, and my Lord, and Miss Nugent, and all her friends in the family, were well;" and said, "she did not know whether she was to congratulate his lordship or not upon Miss Broadhurst, my Lady Berryl's marriage, but she should soon have to hope for his lordship's congratulations for another marriage in her present family Lady Isabel to Colonel Heathcock, who was come in for a large portion, and they are buying the wedding clothes sights of clothes and the di'monds, this day; and Lady Dashfort and my Lady Isabel sent me especially, sir, to you, Mr.
"No, no, boy; I've no faith in my luck with the di'monds or gould. Nevertheless I have hear'd o' men makin' an awful heap o' money that way; partiklarly wan man that made his fortin with wan stone." "Who was that lucky dog?" asked Martin.
And I says to myself, I'll hog them di'monds the first chance I get, and I'll have a disguise all ready, and I'll give the boys the slip, and when I'm safe away I'll put it on, and then let them find me if they can.
"Look here, sir," he whispered, making pretence to great honesty; "I won't go for to deceive you p'r'aps that dog's stuffed wi' di'monds." "Do you reckon I'm a fool?" asked the man. "Well," said old Dan, "I never was good at calcerlations; but you search that dog, and p'r'aps you'll find somethin'."
An' her hair was as long as the tail av the Colonel's charger forgive me mentionin' that blunderin' baste in the same mouthful with Annie Bragin but'twas all shpun gold, an' time was when a lock av ut was more than di'monds to me. There was niver pretty woman yet, an' I've had thruck wid a few, cud open the door to Annie Bragin.

But dese is different. Dese di'monds is boids.
"Think of the smartness and coolness of that blatherskite! He put up that scheme on us and reasoned out what we would do, and we went ahead and done it perfectly exact, like a couple of pudd'nheads. He set there and took his own time to unscrew his heelplates and cut out his plugs and stick in the di'monds and screw on his plates again.
"Matter enough!" he says. "Wasn't you expecting we would be the first to tell the family who it is that's been killed yonder in the sycamores, and all about them rapscallions that done it, and about the di'monds they've smouched off of the corpse, and paint it up fine, and have the glory of being the ones that knows a lot more about it than anybody else?" "Why, of course.
We done up the di'monds in a paper and put our names on it and put it in the keep of the hotel clerk, and told him not to ever let either of us have it again without the others was on hand to see it done; then we went down town, each by his own self because I reckon maybe we all had the same notion. I don't know for certain, but I reckon maybe we had." "What notion?" Tom says.
"If it's silver or goold that ye're thinking of, it's but little I have, though I've a trifling bit of the continental," said Betty, with a look of humor; "but there's that within that's fit to be put in vissils of di'monds." "What can she mean, Archibald?" asked Lawton. "The animal looks as if it meant more than it says!"
