Then he went to Dr. Amboyne, and there were the five hundred pounds waiting for him; but, never having possessed such a sum before, he begged the doctor to give him only L100 at a time. To finish for the present with this branch of the story, he was lucky enough to make an excellent bargain, bought the plant and stock of a small master-grinder recently deceased.
Bayne his credentials. "Why, Little, you had no need of that." "Oh, it is as well to have no misunderstanding with your employer's masters. I visit these works for my present employer, Dr. Amboyne, with the consent of Mr. Cheetham, here written." "Very well, sir," said Bayne, obsequiously; "and I respectfully solicit the honor of conducting our esteemed visitor."
Amboyne was much heated and out of breath before he captured him. He gasped out, "To St. Peter's Church, for your life!" It was rather down-hill this time, and about a mile off. In little more than five minutes the cab rattled up to the church door. Dr. Amboyne got out, told the man to wait, and entered the church with a rapid step. Before he had gone far up the center aisle, he stopped. Mr.
Should this be the result, I further hope that she and yourself will come to Raby, and that you will change that way of life which you have found so full of thorns, and prepare yourself to succeed to my name and place. I am, your obedient servant, "There read that." Amboyne read it, and approved it. Then he gave a sigh, and said, "And so down goes my poor hobby."
"I am afraid not," said Raby. "She knows the water as well as I do, and she picked out the deepest hole: poor girl! poor girl" He then asked Amboyne in a whisper what he thought she would do when she came to her senses. "Impossible to say. She may be violent, and if so we shall have enough to do to hold her. They tell me she threw that workman like a sack."
Amboyne, on mature consideration, advised Little to submit to all the conditions, except the clause confining his operations and his patents. They just drew their pen through that clause, and sent the amended agreement to Bolt's hotel. He demurred to the amendment; but Henry stood firm, and proposed a conference of four. This took place at Dr.
But when nine o'clock struck, and there were no tidings of her, Raby began to share the doctor's uneasiness, and also to be rather angry and impatient. "Confound the girl!" said he. "Her grandfathers have stood by mine, in their danger and trouble, for two hundred years; and now, in her trouble, she slinks away from me." "Put yourself in her place," said Amboyne.

Shall he drive you home?" "Yes. No to Dr. Amboyne." Dr. Amboyne was gone to Woodbine Villa. She waited in his study, moving about the room all the time, with her face of marble, and her poor restless hands.
The pulse, which had been very low, was now galloping and bounding frightfully. "Fetch him a glass of brandy-and-water," said Dr. Amboyne. "Now, then, a surgeon! Which of you lads operates on the eye, in these works?" A lanky file-cutter took a step forward. "I am the one that takes the motes out of their eyes." "Then be good enough to show me his eye."
I don't want to tell him to his face he is a bragging cur; all I want out of him now is my money; and you can pay me that." The pacific Bayne cast a piteous glance at Dr. Amboyne. "I have told you the whole business, sir. Oughtn't Mr. Little to wait till to-morrow, and talk it over with Mr. Cheetham? I'm only a servant: and a man of peace."
