One of the boatmen, being bargeman to the Governor of the Tower, as a privileged person, conducted her unmolested through every ward till she reached the place of her destination. There she dismissed him with a ring from her finger as his reward; and passing a body of soldiers, who kept guard before a large porch that led to the dungeons, she entered, and found herself in an immense paved room.
A neighbour of the bargeman, a bright, intelligent woman, brown as a gipsy but well-spoken and of tidy appearance, invited us to enter. Imagine the neatest, prettiest little room in the world, parlour, bedchamber and kitchen in one, every object so placed as to make the most of available space.
"No, see him downstairs into the street, Dig. And you needn't hurry back, I'm going to speak my mind to this f-fellow once and for all! So l-lock the street door, Dig." Mr. Smivvle hesitated, glanced at Barnabas, shrugged his shoulders and followed the bargeman out of the room.
"He is still proud, and won't go to Arlington Street dressed like a bargeman. He must needs plume, Miss Manners." I glanced anxiously at Dorothy, and saw that she was neither satisfied nor appeased. Well I remembered every turn of her head, and every curve of her lip!
The boys were furious, and one or two proposed that they should report the case, but Tom Scudamore pointed out that the bargeman would of course declare that it was a pure accident, and that the boys were themselves in fault in not looking out whether the barge was being towed, before going inside her, and so nothing would come of reporting.
Market women returning to their cottage homes after a long day's chaffering disposal of their fruit, vegetable, and flower- wares in the town, paused in their slow trudge along the dusty road and crossed themselves devoutly, a bargeman, lazily gliding down the river on his flat unwieldly craft, took his pipe from his mouth, lifted his cap mechanically, and muttered more from habit than reflection "Sainte Marie, Mere de Dieu, priez pour nous!" and some children running out of school, came to a sudden standstill, listening and glancing at each other, as though silently questioning whether they should say the old church-formula among themselves or no?
In casual tones, he observed to the Skipper: "Pity, we ain't got something as'll make a sound o' some kind, so's to let people know as we 're a-comin'." Cap'n Pigg said nothing: but the anxiety deepened perceptibly in his face. "Where the blank blank are yer comin' to?" roared the voice of another bargeman, as, tooting loudly on a fog-horn, one of the "Medway flyers," shaved past them.
He informed me that his father was a bargeman, and walked, in a black velvet head-dress, in the Lord Mayor's Show. He also informed me that our principal associate would be another boy whom he introduced by the to me extraordinary name of Mealy Potatoes.
The people of the barge thought they were dreaming, and stood open- mouthed in amazement, while Jean cried out: "Mamma, see, mamma! Mamma! Mamma!" Then the younger bargeman said to Marsa: "Madame, no, no! we can not accept. It is too much. You are too good. Give it back, Jean." "It is true, Madame," faltered his wife. "It is impossible. It is too much."
We shall endeavor to make room for some of these arguments hereafter." Evening Paper Tuesday, June 31. "On Monday, one of the bargemen connected with the revenue service, saw a empty boat floating down the Seine. Sails were lying in the bottom of the boat. The bargeman towed it under the barge office. The next morning it was taken from thence, without the knowledge of any of the officers.
