"I could see mine," he said, "as though a star guided me, if she should but stretch forth her hand to me and ask me to forgive her." It was some week or two after the deed of partnership had been signed, and when the house at No. 81 had been just taken, that Miss Twizzle came to Robinson.
He did not wait for Mr. Brown to go to sleep, but at once declared the purpose of his visit. "Shall I say 'Maryanne?" said he, putting out his hand; "or is it to be 'Miss Brown?" "Well, I'm sure," said she; "there's a question! If 'Miss Brown' will do for you, sir, it will do uncommon well for me." "Call her 'Maryanne, and have done with it," said Miss Twizzle.
I have never faltered in my love; and now, if you choose to accept my hand in the presence of your father, there it is." "God bless you, my boy! God bless you!" said Mr. Brown. "Come, Maryanne," said Miss Twizzle, "he has spoke out now, quite manly; and you should give him an answer." "But he is so imperious, Polly!
"Well; it's over now. When are they to be married, Miss Twizzle?" "Now, Mr. Robinson, don't you talk like that. You wouldn't take it all calm that way if you thought she was going to have him." "I mean to take it very calm for the future." "But I suppose you're not going to give her up. It wouldn't be like you, that wouldn't." "She has spurned me, Miss Twizzle; and after that ."
"He wanted to extend himself," he said, "and would not marry till he saw his way." Hence had arisen that delay which Maryanne had solaced by her attendance at the music-hall. "But if you're in earnest," said Miss Twizzle, "don't you be down on your luck. Go to old Brown, and make friends with him. He'll stand up for you, because he knows his wife favours Brisket." George Robinson did go to Mr.
There was at that time a music class held at a certain elegant room near Osnaburgh Church in the New Road, at which Maryanne and her friend Miss Twizzle were accustomed to attend. Those lessons were sometimes prosecuted in the evening, and those evening studies sometimes resulted in a little dance.
But Brisket, even though he did not see his way, was open to female seduction. Why was it, that at this eventful period of Robinson's existence Mrs. Poppins should have turned against him? Why his old friend, Polly Twizzle, should have gone over to his rival, Robinson never knew.
I got such a turn that night, as I can't endure the sight of the room ever since. If you'll believe me, I can't." "It was not a pleasant occurrence," said Robinson. "I felt it very keenly. A man's motives are so vilely misconstrued, Miss Twizzle. I have been accused of of cowardice." "Not by me, Mr. Robinson. I did say you should have stuck up a bit; but I didn't mean anything like that."
"I'll teach you to twizzle me on the roundabout," cried the Doctor, vindictively. "Will you ever do it again?" "Oh! no, n no, never!" promised the Dodo. "Well, one good one for the last, then," cried the Doctor, giving a final push, and then leaving the poor Dodo to his fate.
"And yet it's lame, very lame: But no lady ever loses By going to the shop of " And then Miss Twizzle entered. "I see you are engaged," said she, "and, perhaps, I had better call another time." "By no means, Miss Twizzle; pray be seated. How is everything going on at the Hall of Harmony?" "I haven't been there, Mr. Robinson, since that night as Mr. Brisket did behave so bad.
