'Please
Sir
yes
Sir
' returned Rob
tumbling with his hat
and still fixed by Mr carker's eye
and fruitlessly endeavouring to unfix himself.
Mr Carker nodded. 'Take care
then!'
Rob expressed in a number of short bows his lively understanding of this caution
and was bowing himself back to the door
greatly relieved by the prospect of getting on the outside of it
when his patron stopped him.
'Halloa!' he cried
calling him roughly back. 'You have been - shut that door.'
Rob obeyed as if his life had depended on his alacrity.
'You have been used to eaves-dropping. Do you know what that means?'
'Listening
Sir?' Rob hazarded
after some embarrassed reflection.
His patron nodded. 'And watching
and so forth.'
'I wouldn't do such a thing here
Sir
' answered Rob; 'upon my word and honour
I wouldn't
Sir
I wish I may die if I would
Sir
for anything that could be promised to me. I should consider it is as much as all the world was worth
to offer to do such a thing
unless I was ordered
Sir.'
'You had better not' You have been used
too
to babbling and tattling
' said his patron with perfect coolness. 'Beware of that here
or you're a lost rascal
' and he smiled again
and again cautioned him with his forefinger.
