He need have no fears of Lady Shuttleworth. "Good luck to you with Lady S.!" he called after him cheerily. Then he went to his wife and bade her see to it that the servant never let Fritzing in again, explaining that he was not only a foreigner but a lunatic, and that the mixture was so bad that it hardly bore thinking of.
I wish I had taken your advice oftener, Shuttleworth." Shuttleworth thanked him for the compliment. "One learns by experience," said he modestly. "I was born and bred in the patent-medicine business. It's very risky. You start a thing. It catches on for a while. Then something else more attractive comes on the market. There's a war of advertising, and the bigger capital wins.
My strong preference was, and still is, for wild nature. The unfortunate effects of this preference, as regards success in landscape-painting, will claim our attention later. The grand scheme for an Exhibition of Art Treasures at Manchester, in 1857, suggested to Sir James Kay Shuttleworth the idea of having an Exhibition at Burnley in the same year to illustrate the history of Lancashire.
Morrison privately believed Priscilla had put the idea into the old lady's head, and began to regard her in something of the light of a fiend. "Suppose," said Priscilla, "we look upon it as medicine." "But my dear, it is not medicine," said Lady Shuttleworth. "It is poison," repeated Mrs. Morrison. "How can it be if it does her so much good? I must keep my promise.
Dawson had been staring at him and whistling softly but very offensively, "suppose I informed Lady Shuttleworth of my willingness to build two new cottages excellent new cottages for the tenants of these old ones, and pay her a good price as well for these, do you think she would listen to me?" "I say, the schoolmastering business must be a rattling good one.
Ran until, reaching the tienda, the foremost stumbled over the body of Shuttleworth; came upon the half-sitting, half-leaning figure of Saunders against its adobe wall! The doors were barred and closed, and even as the crowd charged furiously forward, a window was sharply shut above, in their very face. "Stand back, gentlemen! Lift him up. What's the row? What is it, Saunders? Who did it?
The man was plainly mad; but still Lady Shuttleworth might you never know with women "Look here hie, you! Mr. Newman!" he called, for Fritzing had torn open the door and was through it. "Neumann, sir," Fritzing hurled back at him over his shoulder. "Lady Shuttleworth won't see you, Mr. Noyman. She won't on principle." Fritzing wavered. "Everything goes through my hands.
"I I don't understand," faltered Lady Shuttleworth. "There mustn't be any fuss, mother." "Do you mean no one is to come?" "No one at all, except the tenants and people. Of course they are to have their fun I'll see that they have a jolly good time. But I won't have our own set and the relations." "Tussie, they've all accepted." "Send round circulars."
"Why don't you take better care of your only son?" said the doctor grimly after he had seen Tussie that evening, who by that time was in a very pitiable condition. Lady Shuttleworth stared at him, wide-eyed and speechless. "It's absurd, you know, to let him get into this state. I've often warned you. He can't be allowed to play ducks and drakes with himself like other young men.
Wadebridge has suffered by the opening of the railway to Padstow, but it can boast that its rail to Bodmin was the second line to be opened in England. Many jests were current in reference to the speed of this early railway. Professor Shuttleworth, who was born at Egloshayle Vicarage, says: "I have often seen the train stop while people got out and gathered blackberries.
