A dropping shout went up the street like an arrow-flight scattering over the throng; and the players, waving their scarlet caps until the long line tossed like a poppy-garden in a summer rain, gave a cheer that fairly set the crockery to dancing upon the shelves of the stalls in Middle Bow. "Hurrah!" shouted Nicholas Attwood, his blue eyes shining with delight.
"It is according," responded the Judge, "to your definition of undesirability. If you mean worldly circumstances, you needn't fear for Bertram Chester. He resigns from my firm this month." "What for?" "Attwood brought me news of it. I don't know where he's going. I'm not supposed to know anything. But for to get rich, for one thing." He closed his book and restored it to its place on the shelves.
The Tory party Conservatives had not then been invented seeing how hopeless the struggle was in which they tried to defeat the nation, gave way eventually, and the Reform Bill of 1832 became law. The president and vice-president of the Political Union Attwood and Scholefield became the first Members for Birmingham, and political feeling was quiet for a time.
I like thy open, pretty face." Nick flushed. "Nicholas Attwood is my name, sir." "Nicholas Attwood? Why, it is a good name. Nick Attwood, young Nick, I hope Old Nick will never catch thee upon my word I do, and on the remnant of mine honour! Thou hast taken a player's part like a man, and thou art a good fellow, Nicholas Attwood, and I love thee.
Simon Attwood looked across the town; yet he did not see the town: across the town into the sky, yet he did not see the sky, nor the drifting banks of cloud, nor the sunlight shining on the clouds. "I say I do na know thee," he replied; "be off to the place whence ye ha' come." Nick's hand was almost on the latch. He stopped. He looked up into his father's face.
And the last Nick Attwood saw of Gaston Carew was his wistful eyes hunting down the stairway after him, and his hand, with its torn fine laces, waving at him through the bars. And when he came to the Mermaid Inn Master Shakspere's comedy was done, and Master Ben Jonson was telling a merry tale that made the tapster sick with laughing.
Attwood on the matter was read by Sir John Young and Commodore Lambert, and they expressed a warm interest in the matter. Mr. M. says that they think it would be well to accept some rule of conduct in the matter from the Commodore, which is, I think, likely to do good.
"I did not think of that," said Amy, smiling. "Oh, Isabel, I'm so sorry that you are going away. Don't you think you could persuade Everard to give up being a missionary? I'm certain he could have Attwood Church if he liked, because Dr. Herbert once asked him if he would like it. Please do, because it would be so nice." "What! and leave those heathen people still in ignorance of God?
Attwood has been called the "father of political unions."
These be players from London town, and I hope they'll play a right good English history-play, like 'The Famous Victories of Henry Fift, to turn a fellow's legs all goose-flesh!" Hodge stopped short in the road. "La!" said he, "I'll go no furder if they turn me to a goose. I wunnot be turned goose, Nick Attwood an' a plague on all witches, says I!" "Oh, pshaw!" laughed Nick; "come on.
