The enterprise would have greatly interested and occupied me, for I have a natural turn for organizing things, being fond of order and details, and I should have learned a great deal and seen many people and many houses; still, the negative decision was the wiser. Sir James Kay Shuttleworth was certainly one of the remarkable people I have known.
"And who, Mr Georgie," asked Mrs Antrobus presenting her trumpet to him in the manner in which an elephant presents its trunk to receive a bun, "who was that with her?" "Oh, her husband, Mr Shuttleworth," said Georgie. "They have just been married, and are on their honeymoon." And if that was not another staggerer for Lucia, it is diffy, as Georgie would say, to know what a staggerer is.
Morrison the next time she met her, which was in the front garden of a sick old woman's cottage. Mrs. Morrison was going in with a leaflet; Lady Shuttleworth was going in with a pound of tea. From this place they could see Priscilla's cottage, and Robin was nailing up its creepers in the sight of all Symford. "Ah I know what you mean," said Mrs. Morrison quickly.
"Tell your master," he said when the maid appeared, "that I am now going to Lady Shuttleworth." And he seized his hat and was making indignantly for the door when Mr. Dawson appeared. Mr. Dawson was wiping his mouth. "You seem to be in a great hurry," he said; and glancing at the slip of paper in his hand added, "Mr. Newman." "Sir," said Fritzing, bowing with a freezing dignity, "I am."
"Well, suppose this fellow Shuttleworth dragged him over to Marietta just when he thought some sort of a celebration was probably going on?" "That wouldn't have any bearing on the case.

Anthony Patch, sitting near the rail and looking out at the sea, was not thinking of his money, for he had seldom in his life been really preoccupied with material vainglory, nor of Edward Shuttleworth, for it is best to look on the sunny side of these things.
Dawson is the most offensive creature who ever walked this earth clad in the outer semblance of one of God's creatures." This was too much for Lady Shuttleworth. "Really " she said, stretching out her hand to the bell. "Didn't I tell you so, mother?" cried Tussie triumphantly; and that Tussie, her own dear boy, should in all things second this madman completely overwhelmed her.
"Very well," said Sypher. "You won't say it's a case of rats deserting a sinking ship, will you, sir? As I say, my wife and family " "The ship's sinking. You're quite right to leave it. Is the position offered you in the same line of business?" "Yes," said Shuttleworth, unable to meet his chief's clear, unsmiling eyes. "One of the rival firms?"
"The public will buy anything, if you advertise it enough." "I suppose they will," said Sypher. "Even Jebusa Jones's Cuticle Remedy." Shuttleworth started and put on his spectacles. "Why shouldn't they buy the Remedy, after all?" "You ask me that?" said Sypher. All through the interview he had not shifted his position. He sat fixed like a florid ghost.
