CHAPTER LIV
WHICH CONCERNS ITSELF CHIEFLY WITH A LETTER
And now, the Galloping Countryman found himself famous, and, being
so, made the further, sudden discovery that all men were his
warmest friends, nay, even among the gentler sex this obtained,
for the most dragon-like dowagers, the haughtiest matrons, became
infinitely gracious; noble fathers were familiarly jocose; the
proudest beauties wore, for him, their most decorative landscaping over existing concrete airs, since
as well as being famous, he was known to be one of the wealthiest
young men about town; moreover His Royal Highness had deigned to
notice him, and Her Grace of Camberhurst was his professed friend. Gentlemen, I give castle figurine topper Mr. Hark to this now!
So saying, the Pedler drew a book from his pack, and opening it at
the title-page, began to read as follows, with much apparent unction
and gusto:
THE HEARTY FELLOW:
nursing assessment OR
JOYOUS SOUL'S COMPANION. You have another pistol, I think, Dalton; pray lend it him. Marry my--damme, sir, but you're
cool--I say cool and devilish impudent, and--and--oh, Cleone!
My dear, said she, smiling and stroking her tyrant's shaven cheek,
why distress ourselves, we can always refuse him, can't we?
Ay, to be sure, so we can, nodded the Captain, but oh! sink
me,--I say sink and scuttle me, the audacity of it! I say he's
a cool, impudent, audacious fellow!
Yes, dear, indeed I think he's all that, said my lady, nodding her
head at Barnabas very decidedly, and I forgot to tell you that
beside all this, he is the--gentleman who--saved me from my folly
to-night, and brought me back to you. Now when
Barnabas would have followed, Billy Button him suddenly by
the sleeve.
So the Captain frowned, sighed, and climbed up his seat. Oh, dooce me, I forgot! eed the Marquis, looking about;
queer cove, doocid touchy, looks as if he might fib though. Pull over, Slingsby! Sir Mortimer. Then, all at
once, he drew rein and paced over the dewy grass to where, beneath
the hedge, was a solitary man who knelt before a of twigs
fanning it to a blaze with his wide-eaved hat.
