"Their bills are all paid by this new chaplain they've got, and he is made to claim discount on every leg of mutton," said the archdeacon. Arguing from which fact, or from which assertion, he came to the conclusion that no Barchester jury would find Mr Crawley guilty. But it was agreed on all sides that it would not be well to trust to the unassisted friendship of the Barchester tradesmen.
Brereton rose, with another laugh. "Just so," he said. "But suppose you try to reduce it to practice? In this way you no doubt have tradesmen in this town who deal in such things as electric torches. Find out in absolute secrecy if any of them have sold electric torches of late to any one in the town, and if so, to whom.
The old detective, accidentally settling down at Highmarket, had recognized Mallalieu and Cotherstone, the prosperous tradesmen of that little, out-of-the-way town, as the Mallows and Chidforth whom he had seen in the dock at Wilchester, and he had revealed his knowledge to one or the other or both. That was certain. But there were many things that were far from certain.
Johnson, who, when he found the Literary Club somewhat too much of a republic, and getting "out of hand," established a social meeting at the Essex Head Club in the street of that name, off the Strand composed in the main of respectable tradesmen, who would listen obsequiously.

But how long would he be permitted to feel like this?
He established a night-school, which he conducted himself, and in which he was assisted by voluntary teachers from among the gentlemen and tradesmen of the town, who attended in turns, but he was himself never absent from his post, except under very urgent necessity.
In the last chapter I gave my thoughts for the instruction of young tradesmen in writing letters with orders, and answering orders, and especially about the proper style of a tradesman's letters, which I hinted should be plain and easy, free in language, and direct to the purpose intended.
Well, we give them Style for our advertisements, and we're going to give 'em Style all through.... You needn't be born to it to dance well on the wires of the Bond Street tradesmen. See?" I handed him the cigar-box. "Runcorn hadn't cigars like these," he said, truncating one lovingly. "We beat him at cigars. We'll beat him all round." My aunt and I regarded him, full of apprehensions.
And what tradesmen what kings of trade we have today! They instantly miss what a man can carry off in a sack, and notify the police. From now on I begin to long for the spring. My peat hut lies still too near to mankind, and I will build myself another when the frost has gone out of the ground. On the other side of the Skjel, I have chosen a spot in the forest which I think I shall like.
