Simon Attwood stayed to lock the door, fumbling his keys as if his sight had failed; but when the heavy bolt was shut, he turned and called after John Combe, so that the old man stopped in the way and dripped a puddle until the tanner came up to where he stood.
Viens demain soir, je t'attendrai at eight o'clock, Passage des Panoramas. My Sir is at his country. "Adieu a demain. "Fifine. "Samedi." I shuddered as I walked through this very Passage des Panoramas, in the evening. The girl was there, pacing to and fro, and looking in the countenance of every passer-by, to recognize Attwood.
"Come, boy!" "From Coventry," said Robin, knowing that the truth would out at last, anyway. "He went to see the players, sir," spoke up Hal Saddler, briskly, not heeding Robin's stealthy kick. "He said he'd bide wi' Diccon Haggard overnight; an' he said he wished he were a master-player himself, sir, too." Simon Attwood, frowning blackly, hurried on.

This is the home of those who, headed by Attwood, had compelled the Duke and his army the House of Lords to submit, and to pass the memorable Reform Bill of 1832! My destination was at the top of Bull Street, where my apartments were ready, and a walk to that spot completed an eventful day for me.
Attwood has been called the "father of political unions."
If Thomas Attwood or George Frederick Muntz could now revisit the town they once represented in Parliament they would probably stare with amazement at the changes that have taken place in Birmingham, and would require a guide to show them their way about the town now a city they once knew so well.
And, truth, it was no easy thing to tell them from the real affair, or to guess the made from the maiden, so slender and so graceful were they all, with their ruffs and their muffs and their feathered fans, and all the airs and mincing graces of the daintiest young miss. But old Nat Gyles would never have Nick Attwood play the girl.
