Your uncle is great in the lachrymatory line, Clive Newcome. He used to go with tears in his eyes to Sherrick, and implore him not to have Rawkins, but he would. And I must say for poor Charles that the failure of Lady Whittlesea's has not been altogether Charles's fault; and that Sherrick has kicked down that property. "Well, then, sir, poor Charles thought to make it all right by marrying Mrs.
Sherrick, he suddenly called out 'Doctor, Compadre, Adios! "I sprang to him and seeing a gush of blood pouring from his mouth, remarked, 'this is the last of the general; I supported his forehead on my hand, while death speedily closed the scene. "The aneurism had ruptured into the trachea. Death took place at 4.25 P.M., May 23rd 1868. "Mr.
When the music began, he stood with head on one side, and two slim fingers on the book, as composed as a statue in a mediaeval niche. It was fine to hear Sherrick, who had an uncommonly good voice, join in the musical parts of the service.
"You must not call a him, in that way. Don't say Mr. H., ma," says Julia. "Call me what you please!" says Charles, with the most heart-rending simplicity; and Mrs. Sherrick straightway kisses her daughter. "When he come to see it up in this place, sir, the old man was mad, I give you my word! His son ain't no good: says he knows you.
Sherrick, like a man of spirit, would not allow his wife to sing in public after his marriage; but in private society, of course, she is welcome to perform: and now with her daughter, who possesses a noble contralto voice, she takes her place royally at the piano, and the two sing so magnificently that everybody in the room, with one single exception, is charmed and delighted; and that little Miss Cann herself creeps up the stairs, and stands with Mrs.
I wonder whether it's the Sherrick with whom Kew and Jack Belsize had that ugly row?" "What ugly row? don't say ugly row. It is not a nice word to hear the children use. Go on, my darlings. What was the dispute of Lord Kew and Mr. Belsize, and this Mr. Sherrick?"
You promised Mr. Pendennis a little song." Honeyman whisks open the piano in a moment. Mother and daughter entwine as they quit the piano. "Brava! brava!" says Percy Sibwright. Does Mr. Clive Newcome say nothing? His back is turned to the piano, and he is looking with all his might into the eyes of Miss Sherrick.
Sherrick was silent during the meal, looking constantly up at her husband, as if alarmed and always in the habit of appealing to that gentleman, who gave her, as I thought, knowing glances and savage winks, which made me augur that he bullied her at home. Percy Sibwright engaged Miss Mackenzie with his usual grace and affability. Mrs.
Sherrick cut jokes with the master of the house, which the latter received with a very grave acquiescence; he ordered the servants about, addressing the butler as "Old Corkscrew," and bidding the footman, whom he loved to call by his Christian name, to "look alive."
Though I dare say Clive did not much relish receiving news of his aunt, Sherrick was sure to bring such intelligence when it reached him; and announced, in due time, the birth of a little cousin at Boggley Wollah, whom the fond parents designed to name "Thomas Newcome Honeyman." A dreadful panic and ghastly terror seized poor Clive on occasion which he described to me afterwards.
