People were arriving from the Derby, and the talk was of the day's racing. Some of the new arrivals saluted Drake, and many of them looked at Glory. "A rippin' good race, old chappie. Didn't suit my book exactly, but the bookies will have smiling faces at Tattersall's on Monday." A man with a big beard at the next table pulled down his white waistcoat, lifted his glass, and said, "To Gloria!"
Of course it was known that when in London much of his business was done at Tattersall's. But the horsey man is generally on the alert to take care that no secret of his trade escapes from him unawares. And it may be that he was thus prepared for a gratuitous lie. "Uncle's gone a deal father than ever I expected," said Amelia. "He's been most generous to all the girls," said Mrs.
Gratitude to John Groves, the Quaker mate of Tattersall's fishing boat, in which Charles had escaped to France after the battle of Worcester, had something, and the untiring advocacy of George Whitehead, the Quaker, had still more, to do with this act of royal clemency.
As I am writing these pages I find the following paragraph in a newspaper which may illustrate my meaning: 'DOGS' NURSING. A case was heard at the Brompton County Court on Friday in which some suggestive evidence was given of the medical treatment of dogs. The proprietor of a dogs' infirmary at Tattersall's Corner sued Mr.
He started a horse market in 1766 at Hyde Park Corner, and his son carried it on after him. Rooms were fitted up at the market for the use of the Jockey Club, which held its meetings there for many years. Charles James Fox was one of the most regular patrons of Tattersall's sales. The establishment was moved to its present position in 1864.
And that reminded him. "Do you know what I'd do, Harry," he said, "if I won Tattersall's big sweep, or was to come into fifty or a hundred thousand pounds, or, better still, a million?" "Nothing I suppose," I said, "except to get away to Sydney or some cooler place than this." "I'll tell you what I'd do," said Mitchell, talking round his pipe. "I'd build a Swagman's Rest right here."
"There would be sure to be a row if I did. I dare say there will be as it is. At any rate, I want to do the thing like a gentleman." "Send 'em to Tattersall's." "And the girl that drives them in the park, and draws all the duchesses and countesses at her tail am I to send her to Tattersall's?" "Oh, it is her you want to put down, then?" "Why, of course." SIR CHARLES and Mr.
And then I've that cheque on Drummond, signed; God knows how that is signed! There ain't no such person at all. Baldebeque! That's more like it than nothing else. When you brought me that, I thought there vas a Lord Baldebeque; and I know you live among lords, Captain 'Oshspur." "On my honour I brought it you, just as I took it at Tattersall's."
I will draw my money from the bank. If things go well, I shall be set up again. If they go badly, there will be some long faces at Tattersall's on settling day, but I shall be away, and the money will be enough if we have to cruise for a couple of years, or double that, before she gives in. "I shall try mild measures for a good bit; be very respectful and repentant and all that.
"Drive to Tattersall's," he said to the groom, in a voice smothered with emotion "And bring my pony round," he added, as the man drove rapidly away. As good luck would have it, that splendid barouche of Lady Clavering's, which has been inadequately described in a former chapter, drove up to her ladyship's door just as Foker mounted the pony which was in waiting for him.
