He had added, "We must make it easy for them" to support the government "because we can't live through the case without them." This was the foundation of his attempt so obvious between the lines of the first message to create an all-parties government. This, Chandler violently opposed. Violence was always Chandler's note, so much so that a scornful opponent once called him "Xantippe in pants."
There was a chandler's shop on the water front where sailormen could get a drink of whisky, and he spent the best part of the day there, playing cribbage with the half-caste who owned it. At night the mate and he went up to the house where the pretty girl lived and they sang a song or two and told stories. It was the girl's father who suggested that he should take her away with him.
The Crystal Palace at present reminds one strongly of a grocer's and chandler's store pemmican, biscuits, chocolate, and milk-sausage, lie about everywhere. In the other wall, opposite the ski, there is an opening. I see my companion making for it, but this time I intend to keep an eye on him. He goes up two steps, pushes a trap-door, and there he stands on the Barrier but I am there, too.
The remainder may be guessed by those whom genteel poverty has driven to ignoble expedient. Our next view of him shall be as he descends the steps of his lodging-house immaculately and correctly clothed; calm, assured, handsome in appearance the typical new york young clubman setting out, slightly bored, to inaugurate the pleasures of the evening. Chandler's honorarium was $18 per week.
"Why, with an idea of finding out if anyone saw such a knife fooling about there any time, and, if so, in whose possession it was at the time. But, Mr. Bunting" Chandler's voice changed; it became businesslike, official "they're not going to say anything about that not in newspapers till to-morrow, so don't you go and tell anybody. You see, we don't want to frighten the fellow off.
Having a longing and revengeful desire to retaliate upon the Missourians for the brutal manner in which they had treated and robbed my family, I became a member of Chandler's company. His plan was that we should leave our homes in parties of not more than two or three together, and meet at a certain point near Westport, Missouri, on a fixed day.
But this time it was convincing enough; gas-workers and waterworks men and carpenters were all at the war, and in the town of Meaux water was carried in pitchers and light was purchased at the chandler's. In France you get used to these things and imitate with a good grace the calm stoicism of your Allies.
I have, since then, heard it repeated hundreds of times by the officers and men of Silliman's brigade, that our fate would have been the same had it not been for Colonel Burr. I was a sergeant-major in Chandler's regiment of Silliman's brigade at the time of the retreat. I am your very obedient servant, Adjacent to what is now Grand-street.
THE TALLOW CHANDLER'S TOAST. May we make light of our misfortunes, melt the fair when we press them, and make our foes wax warm in our favour. THE HATTER'S TOAST. When the rogue naps it, may the lesson be felt. THE TAILOR'S TOAST. May we always sheer out of a lawsuit, and by so doing cut bad company. THE BAKER'S TOAST. May we never be done so much as to make us crusty.
But Rebby shook her head. "No, Danna, I haven't. But perhaps I can sometime, and you too," she replied. For some reason, that Rebby could not explain even to herself, her thoughts centered around what her father had said on their trip to the Falls of the store of powder and shot at Chandler's River settlement.
