We have been misdirected, Jarndyce, by a most abandoned ruffian, who told us to take the turning to the right instead of to the left. He is the most intolerable scoundrel on the face of the earth. His father must have been a most consummate villain, ever to have had such a son. I would have that fellow shot without the least remorse!

Did he do it on purpose?

I have not the slightest doubt that the scoundrel has passed his whole existence in misdirecting travelers! returned the other.
gpt
By my soul, I thought him the worst-looking dog I had ever beheld, when he was telling me to take the turning to the right. And yet I stood before that fellow face to face, and didn't knock his brains out!
human
Teeth, you mean?

Ha, ha, ha! laughed Mr. Lawrence Boythorn, really making the whole house vibrate.
human
What, you have not forgotten it yet! Ha, ha, ha!--And that was another most consummate vagabond! By my soul, the countenance of that fellow, when he was a boy, was the blackest image of perfidy, cowardice, and cruelty ever set up as a scarecrow in a field of scoundrels. If I were to meet that most unparalleled despot in the streets to-morrow, I would fell him like a rotten tree!

I have no doubt of it, said Mr. Jarndyce.

Now, will you come up-stairs?
gpt
By my soul, Jarndyce, returned his guest, who seemed to refer to his watch,
human
Not quite so far, I hope?
gpt
By my life and honor, yes! cried the visitor.
human
I wouldn't be guilty of the audacious insolence of keeping a lady of the house waiting all this time, for any earthly consideration. I would infinitely rather destroy myself--infinitely rather!
gpt
Ha, ha, ha! and again,
human
Ha, ha, ha!
