"Now, Fleda," Earl went on, busy all the while with his iron ladle in dipping the boiling sap from one kettle into the other "you know how this is fixed when we've done all we've got to do with it? it must be strained out o' this biler into a cask or a tub, or somethin' nother anythin' that'll hold it and stand a day or so; you may strain it through a cotton cloth, or through a woollen cloth, or through any kind of a cloth, and let it stand to settle; and then when it's biled down Barby knows about bilin' down you can tell when it's comin' to the sugar when the yellow blobbers rises thick to the top and puffs off; and then it's time to try it in cold water it's best to be a leetle the right side o' the sugar and stop afore it's done too much, for the molasses will dreen off afterwards"
At the present moment, Terry was standing at the tiller, while Biler was at the masthead, to which he had climbed to get rid of the disappointments of the world below, in a more elevated sphere, and from his lofty perch he was gazing with a hungry eye forth into space, and from time to time pulling bits of dried codfish from his pocket, and thrusting them into his mouth.
'I haven't done nothing to you, Sir, said Biler, otherwise Rob, otherwise Grinder, and always Toodle. 'You young scoundrel! replied Mr Carker, slowly releasing him, and moving back a step into his favourite position. 'What do you mean by daring to come here? 'I didn't mean no harm, Sir, whimpered Rob, putting one hand to his throat, and the knuckles of the other to his eyes.
"I'll explain, if you'll only hold your tongues, and not look so scared like." "No, Ruby; no, lad, you must change yer clothes first," said the smith, in a tone of authority; "why, the fire makes you steam like a washin' biler. Come along with me, an' I'll rig you out." "Ay, go hup with 'im, Ruby. Bless me, this is the most amazin' hincident as ever 'appened to me. Never saw nothink like it."
Thus it fell out that Biler, on his way home, sought unfrequented paths; and slunk along by narrow passages and back streets, to avoid his tormentors. Being compelled to emerge into the main road, his ill fortune brought him at last where a small party of boys, headed by a ferocious young butcher, were lying in wait for any means of pleasurable excitement that might happen.
The poor miserable baste of a haythen hed some larnin', an' the minit he showed me I knowed it was so, fur ivery lafe wuz three in wan an' wan in three, an' had the sign o' the blessed crass in the middle as plain as that biler settin' on the stove."
Mrs Jo bore it till boots were hurled and a rain of hair-brushes set in, then, fearing for the safety of her eldest, she would go to the rescue, and by a wise mixture of fun and authority finally succeed in persuading Ted that he was 'a thing of beauty', if not 'a joy for ever'. At last he would stalk majestically forth, imprisoned in collars compared to which those worn by Dickens's afflicted Biler were trifles not worth mentioning.
But first the young Toodles, victims of a pious fraud, were deluded into repairing in a body to a chandler's shop in the neighbourhood, for the ostensible purpose of spending a penny; and when the coast was quite clear, Polly fled: Jemima calling after her that if they could only go round towards the City Road on their way back, they would be sure to meet little Biler coming from school.
'It ain't a common name. Sermuchser that when he was took to church the gen'lm'n said, it wam't a chris'en one, and he couldn't give it. But we always calls him Biler just the same. For we don't mean no harm. Not we. 'Do you mean to say, Man, inquired Mr Dombey; looking at him with marked displeasure, 'that you have called a child after a boiler?
The Charitable Grinders! 'I am sure I am very much obliged, Sir, returned Richards faintly, 'and take it very kind that you should remember my little ones. At the same time a vision of Biler as a Charitable Grinder, with his very small legs encased in the serviceable clothing described by Mrs Chick, swam before Richards's eyes, and made them water.
