"I am not angry that I know of, fair one; and you do me too much honor to care about my mood. Understand me once for all. I am not a Dr. Grimshaw, in any phase of that gentleman's character.

Even as he watched, a man shot out of the ruck and away, scampering furiously with the shrugged shoulders and ducked head of one expecting a blow. It came sure as fate, and as deliberate. Out shot the Gentleman's pistol hand. A crack, a stab of flame, and the man was flopping on the sand like a landed fish. As the Gentleman fired, another from below stormed up the bank at him.
The agent had the deed all ready, and invited them to sit down and read it; this Szedvilas proceeded to do a painful and laborious process, during which the agent drummed upon the desk. Teta Elzbieta was so embarrassed that the perspiration came out upon her forehead in beads; for was not this reading as much as to say plainly to the gentleman's face that they doubted his honesty?
The original intention had been to disguise the hole, but so proud was the family of the success of the imitation, that it became one of the show places of the establishment. When the hounds met at Bally William, and the Major brought old Lord Atrim into the house for lunch, he called the old gentleman's attention to it with a chuckle of enjoyment. "My daughter's work!

For the first time I have, this day, after many calls, seen Godfrey's friend, young Mr.
Boddington had just taken his wife down to Margate for her health; had only been gone half an hour. This was truly irritating and annoying. Apparently Sir Charles must wait that gentleman's return.

'This gentleman's been waiting more than an hour here too, observed the overseer indicating me. More than an hour! The rascal was making fun of me. 'But perhaps he doesn't need them as I do, answered the new comer. 'I know nothing about that, said the overseer sulkily. 'Then is it really impossible? Are there positively no horses? 'Impossible. There's not a single horse.
Pipchin's explosive, "How dare you laugh behind the gentleman's back?" or of the weak-eyed young man's answering in consternation, "I ain't a laughing at nobody, ma'am." Any more than of the Ogress saying a while later, "You're laughing again, sir!" or of the young man, grievously oppressed, repudiating the charge with, "I ain't. I never see such a thing as this!"
Eden was always at the prisoners' orders and came to both of these; one was a man about thirty, the other a mere boy. The same evening Mr. Hawes sat down, his features working wrathfully, and dispatched a note to Mr. Locock, one of the visiting justices and a particular admirer of his. Meeting Mr. Eden in the prison, he did not return that gentleman's salute.
