213 "Oh, Sir, is that it? " quoth Nicholas ; " then, in my humble opinion, Sir Oliver, the best method you can adopt will be to advertise him immediately, with a suitable reward for his recovery ; d d careless rascals, these waiters! I dare say, if the truth was known, they have sold him ; is it Don or Carlo, Sir Oliver?" The quickness of my Cousin's eye enabled him to avoid the sudden impetus of the Baronet's cane, which would otherwise, in all probability, have produced a serious contusion on... his pericranium ; as it was, the blow spent itself in empty air, but not before it had destroyed in its progress a glass of sherry negus, which, having been unadvisedly placed too near the edge of the table, came within the compass of the parabola described by the walking-stick.
For once this facetious young gentleman had over- shot his mark. Sir Oliver, being far from quick- sighted, was not uufrequently taken in, by the serious demeanour of his son and heir, so as to give implicit credit to a gravity too profound to excite his suspicion ; but, on the present occasion, not all the good Baronet's bonhommie and gullibility, of which, to say the truth, he certainly possessed a very respectable share, could pre- vent his seeing that Nicholas was indulging his wit at his expense ; and the conviction of this not only occa- sioned the destruction of the aforesaid rummer of negus, but also of an article by no means less fragile to wit, the small remains of patience which the perusal of my "unaccountable" letter had left in Sir Oliver's possession.
