Sir Charles Lyell and Mr.
"I am the daughter of Professor Field," said Harriet, "and at twenty-seven I am the paid companion of Mrs. Richard Carter's daughter! Oh, well I was happy enough to have the opportunity. I had studied French, you know; and Mrs. Rogers took me abroad with her. She was an outrageous old lady, but not curious! No reasonable woman could live with her I made myself endure it.
'Perhaps she likes it, suggested Rogers. 'She likes better tickling behind the ear, Jimbo thought, anxious to make him feel all right, and then plunged into a description of her general habits how she jumped at the door handles when she wanted to come in, slept on his bed at night, and looked for a saucer in a particular corner of the kitchen floor. This last detail was a compliment.
Once more Rogers besought him to pray and then, when he again burst into oaths, they thrust him off. The fall was as effective as ever hangman devised. "In the morning, boys," said the smith, "a half-dozen of us must be up early and come back here. The hound is at least entitled to a half-way decent burial. I'll call some of you to come with me."
