I've bin sorry at times I ever went to Frye, but it's too late ter back out now." "One thing please promise me," said Albert when they had started for the house, "do not hint either to her or your wife that you have told me anything about this matter. I will do all that can be done, and consult only with you, in private." The next day was a red-letter one in Albert's history.
I remember I mended an old coat o' my Albert's as good as I could, sittin' on the quarter-deck in the sun all that afternoon, and 't was all as if I was livin' in a lovely dream. I don't know how to explain it, but there hasn't been no friend I've felt so near to me ever since." One could not say much only listen. Mrs. Todd put in a discerning question now and then, and Mrs.
For he flattered himself that he was a somewhat peculiar man a man of ideas, a man of the future and he must not expect to conform everybody to his own standard. Smith Westcott was a man of fine business qualities, he had heard; and most commercial men were, in Albert's estimation, a little weak, morally.
He told his nephew to stow it, so Albert did, and then he asked him if he was hurt and Albert had to say he wasn't, for though he is a coward, and very unlucky, he is not a liar like some boys are. 'This promises to be a protracted if agreeable task, said Albert-next-door's uncle, rubbing his hands and looking at the hole with Albert's head in it.
Not," with the return of the slight smile, "that Rachel ever went so far as to call me an angel. No, no. There's limits where you can't stretch her common-sense any farther. Callin' me an angel would be just past the limit. Yes, yes, yes. I guess SO." They spoke of Captain Zelotes and Olive and of their grief and discouragement when the news of Albert's supposed death reached them.
The two best were about how some burglars broke into a place in Holloway where they made preserved tongues and invalid delicacies, and carried off a lot of them. And on another page there was, 'Mysterious deaths in Holloway. Oswald thought there was something in it, and so did Albert's uncle when we asked him, but the others thought not, so Oswald agreed to drop it.
There she sat, as stately and composed as though we had never heard that odd-sounding cough, from which her throat must have been even then sore and rough. Kind, gentle, shabbily-dressed Mrs Forrester was immediately conducted to the second place of honour a seat arranged something like Prince Albert's near the Queen's good, but not so good.
"....I received a formidable note from our master telling me of an intended royal visit to the Woodwardian den of wild beasts, immediately after Prince Albert's degree; and enjoining me to clear a passage by the side entrance through the old divinity schools.
The awkward alternative remained that Prince Albert's position, so far as it had to do with the Lord Chamberlain and the Heralds' Office, was left undecided and ambiguous. It was only by the issue of letters patent on the Queen's part, at a later date, that any certainty on this point could be attained even in England.
When eventually Baron Stockmar himself signified his assent, the affair seemed as good as settled. The Duke had one other child Prince Ernest, Albert's senior by one year, and heir to the principality. The Duchess was a sprightly and beautiful woman, with fair hair and blue eyes; Albert was very like her and was her declared favourite. But in his fifth year he was parted from her for ever.
