He had his views as to what the ideal garden should be, and he hoped in time to tinker his own three acres up to the desired standard. At present there remained much to be done. Why not, for instance, take away those laurels at the end of the lawn, and have a flower-bed there instead?
I so nearly "pegged out" with an attack that fell to my lot a little time after the election, that Dr Smalley considered it advisable to summon Dr Tinker to a consultation, but sad to say I was too comatose to have become acquainted with the husband of the famous Mrs Tinker, whose individuality afforded considerable interest, because it was very conspicuous when surrounded by the neutrality of life in Noonoon.
"Of course quite." "To be sure!" murmured the Tinker drowsily. "But though your pockets be empty, you ain't in any violent hurry to get back to your luxoorious home, are ye?" "No!" said I. "By reason of Anna?" "By reason that, like her, I have learned to love the Silent Places." "Ah, yes, lad, I know for I love 'em too. But you're young and in the Silent Places one may meet wi' demons an' devils."

"And did the candle prognosticate, I mean foreshow his death?" "It did, sir. When a person is to die his candle is seen a few nights before the time of his death."
Success to the hammer and tongs. Tinker. Well, I shouldn't have thought you were a blacksmith by your hands. Myself. I have seen them, however, as black as yours.

He was befriended by the tinker and did errands for him." "He took the money to Trove that night the latter slept in the woods?" "And, for Darrel, returned to Thompson his own with usury.
