Before the bagman with his Brummagem goods an art of this sort was bound to go the way that in Europe our applied arts, the art of the potter, the weaver, the builder and the joiner, the arts that in some sort resembled it, have gone. No purely instinctive art can stand against the machine.
Don't leave Delhi till you get orders from me." It got about during the day that the bagman had disappeared, and had had a soft thing of it as far as I was concerned. The 112th were dining with us that night, and they all set to work to draw me after dinner about the business thought themselves vastly witty over it. "Hullo Paddy, so you're the girl he left behind him!"
The best thing he could hit upon was to pretend to turn bagman; and so Mercy would believe he was travelling all over England, when all the time he was quietly living at Hernshaw. And perhaps these long separations might prepare her heart for a final parting, and so let in his original plan a few years hence.
He had laid himself out to please John Trevethick and his friend Solomon for the last six months, without success, yet here was a man who had evidently appreciated him at once. If he was but a bagman, or something of that sort, it was only the more creditable to his own powers of pleasing; and his vanity and Richard was as vain of his social attractions as a girl was flattered accordingly.
They were the eyes of Simon Colliver. So then in Oxford Street, after all, I had met him. He was cleverly disguised as I guessed, by the same hands that had painted my own face and looked to the casual eye but an ordinary bagman. But art could not change those marvellous eyes, and I knew him in an instant.
'Yes, they were, replied the bagman; 'very nice men indeed! Mr. Pickwick's conscience had been somewhat reproaching him for his recent neglect of his friends at the Peacock; and he was just on the point of walking forth in quest of them, on the third morning after the election had terminated, when his faithful valet put into his hand a card, on which was engraved the following inscription: Mrs.
"No don't do that," said the Bagman, in a strange, jerky voice, "what 'ud be the good?" "Why, that there poor animal wouldn't have to drag that fat carkiss of yours up and down hills, for one thing." "I'll get out and walk." "And it might learn ye to keep a civil tongue in your head." "I I didn't mean any offence." "Then chuck us your purse," growled the other, "and be quick about it."
Bagman, in rejecting every tale that had not its due share of lords and ladies, she called herself fastidious in the selection. She was a great talker, and not a day passed but what cockney sentiments fell from her pretty little mouth, in drawling tones, from under a fanciful Parisian coiffure.
At last, when it came to dessert and the Madeira, Carew, one of our fellows, couldn't stand it any longer after all, it is aggravating if a man won't praise your best wine, no matter how little you care about his opinion, and the bagman was supposed to be a connoisseur. "Not a bad glass of wine that," says Carew to him; "what do you think of it?"
"Cahors, for example; as if it would be good policy to give up such a town to an enemy." "No; but it would be like an honest man." "But to return to Flanders. I will send some one to my brother but whom can I trust? Oh! now I think of it, you shall go, Chicot." "I, a dead man?" "No; you shall go as Robert Briquet." "As a bagman?" "Do you refuse?" "Certainly." "You disobey me!"
