How could I, when I didn't know there was any Miss Tweddle to come to? And what do you suppose I should go running about after Mr. Tweddle for? I wonder you're not ashamed to say such things!" "But," faltered Matilda, "you did go to those gardens with him, didn't you? And and I know he gave the ring to somebody!" Ada began to laugh. "You're quite correct, Miss Collum," she said; "so he did.
Haven't we all the week to be lively in?" "And I'm sure, ma'am," said Jauncy, recovering himself, "you make the most of your time. Talking of fog, Tweddle, did you see those lines on it in to-day's Umpire? Very smart, I call them; regular witty." "And do you both read a paper on Sunday mornings with 'smart' and 'witty' lines in it?" demanded Mrs. Collum.
"Tillie is blessing enough for me not but what I shall be glad to be on a pleasant footing with you, I'm sure, if you can bring yourself to it." Before Mrs. Collum could reply, Miss Louisa Tweddle made an opportune appearance, to the relief of Matilda, in whom her mother's attitude was causing some uneasiness.
Collum, ma'am," she explained, "and he's never caused me a moment's anxiety since I first had the care of him, when he was first apprenticed to Catchpole's in Holborn, and paid me for his board." "Well, well," said Mrs. Collum, "I hope he never may cause anxiety to you, or to any one." "I'll answer for it, he won't," said his aunt. "I wish you could see him dress a head of hair." Mrs.
You may all think what you choose of me. I don't care! Perhaps if you were to come in and find the man who, only a week ago, had offered marriage to your youngest sister, figuring away as engaged to quite another lady, you wouldn't be all milk and honey, either. I'm doing right to expose him. The man who'd deceive one would deceive many, and so you'll find, Miss Collum, little as you think it."
Leander was looking rather miserable; but Matilda put out her hand to him behind his aunt's back, and their eyes and hands met, and he was happy again. "You must be wanting your dinner, Mrs. Collum," his aunt proceeded; "and we are only waiting for another lady and gentleman to make up the party. I don't know what's made them so behindhand, I'm sure.
"See there, now!" cried the injured hairdresser; "there's a thing to go and make all this mischief about! Matilda, Mrs. Collum, aunt, I declare to you I told the the other young woman everything about my having formed new ties and that. I was very particular not to give rise to hopes which were only doomed to be disappointed.
"Tempore, quo Caesar Româ, dominatus in altâ Aureolo jussit collum signare moniti; Ne depascentem quisquis me gramina laedat, Caesaris heu causâ, periturae parcere vitae." which has been thus literally translated in nearly the same words quoted by Ruris "When Julius Caesar reigned king, About my neck he put this ring, That whosoever did me take, Should spare my life for Caesar's sake."
And from the moment you came in, though I paid no attention to it at first, you've done nothing but insinuate and hint, and try all you could to set my dear Miss Collum and her ma against my poor unoffending nephew; and I won't sit by any longer and hear it. Put on your bonnet and cloak, Miss Parkinson, and Mr.
Modicum est maior Aquila, cristam in capite maiorem pauonis, collum habens croceum, dorsum Indicum, alas purpureas, caudam duobus coloribus, per transuersum croceo et rubeo regulatam, qui singuli colores sunt ad splendorem Solis delectabiliter videntibus resplendentes.
