Bashville smiled and shook his head. "Oh, no, sir," he said, "thank
you all the same! Those are not my views."
"The more fool you," said Parker, pocketing the coins, and turning
away.
Bashville's countenance changed. "Come, come, sir," he said,
following Parker to the foot of the stops, "fair words deserve fair
words. I am no more a fool than you are. A gentleman should know his
place as well as a servant."
"Oh, go to the devil," muttered Parker, turning very red and
hurrying away.
"If you weren't my mistress's guest," said Bashville, looking
menacingly after him, "I'd send you to bed for a week for sending me
to the devil."
