owever, they were not the object to which he wished to call Maggie’s attention, but rather something which he had carried under his arm, wrapped in a red handkerchief.
“See here!” he said again, Piumini Moncler Donna laying the red parcel on the others and unfolding it; “you won’t think I’m a-makin’ too free, Miss, I hope, but I lighted on these books, and I thought they might make up to you a bit for them as Ralph Lauren Kortärmade skjortor you’ve lost; for I heared you speak Parajumpers Jacka o’ picturs — an’ as for picturs, look here!”
The opening of the red handkerchief had disclosed a superannuated “Keepsake” and six or seven numbers of a “Portrait Gallery,” in royal octavo; and the emphatic request to look referred to a portrait of George the Fourth in all the majesty of his depressed cranium and voluminous neckcloth.
“There’s all sorts o’ genelmen here,” Bob went on, turning over the leaves with some excitement, “wi’ all sorts o’ nones — an’ some bald an’ some wi’ wigs — Parlament genelmen, I reckon. An’ here,” he added, opening the “Keepsake,”—”here’s ladies for you, some wi’ curly hair and some wi’ smooth, an’ some a-smiling wi’ their heads o’ one side, an’ some as if they were goin’ to cry — look here — a-sittin’ on the ground out o’ door, dressed like the ladies I’n seen get out o’ the carriages at the balls in th’ Old Hall there. My eyes! I wonder what CG lapset Elijah Bomber the Miehet Scythe Takki chaps wear as go a-courtin’ ’em! I sot up till the clock was Ralph Lauren Långärmade skjortor gone twelve last night, a-lookin’ at ’em — I did — till they stared at me out o’ the picturs as if they’d know when I spoke to ’em. But, lors! I shouldn’t know what to The North Face käsineet say to ’em. They’ll be more fittin’ company Ralph Lauren Pony Polos for you, Miss; and the man at the book-stall, he said they banged iverything for picturs; he said they was a fust-rate article.”
“And you’ve bought them for me, Bob?” said Maggie, deeply touched by this simple kindness. “How very, very good of you! But I’m afraid you gave a great deal of money for them.”
“Not me!” said Bob. “I’d ha’ gev three times the money if they’ll make up to you a bit for them as The North Face Miehet Takki was sold away from you, Miss. For I’n niver forgot how you looked when you fretted about the books bein’ gone; it’s stuck by me as if it was a pictur hingin’ before me. An’ when I see’d the book open upo’ the stall, wi’ the lady lookin’ out of it wi’ eyes a bit like your’n when you was frettin’ — you’ll excuse my takin’ the liberty, Miss — I thought I’d make free to buy it for you, an’ then I bought the books full o’ genelmen to match; an’ then”— here Bob took up the small stringed packet of books —“I thought you might like a bit Miehet Cg Chilliwack Bomber more print Miehet Nike Free 5.0 V3 as well as the picturs, an’ I got these for a sayso — they’re cram-full o’ print, an’ I thought they’d do no harm comin’ along wi’ these bettermost books. An’ I hope you won’t say me Naiset Osito Jacket nay, an’ tell me as you won’t have ’em, like Mr. Tom did wi’ the suvreigns.”
