The billiard-marker at his club knows his haunts; and I have taken the liberty to employ, through him, several persons who are acquainted with his appearance, and, at my desire, frequent those places with a view to discovering him, and bringing about an interview with me.
Also there was Monsieur Callow." "Callot!" exclaimed Roger, starting at the familiar name. "Was he an Englishman?" "Surely. C-a-l-l-o-w Callow. Ah! he was a droll one, was Monsieur Callow, and a gentleman too. I never had a billiard-marker like him. He could play any man, and lose by one point; and he could recite and sing; and oh, he eat so little!
And a percentage of the emigrants who go to the Colonies act under similar circumstances as they did, and from being on arrival strong, hopeful and brave, they, from lack of something in themselves or from want of the needful advice and sense to adopt it, gradually deteriorate past all recovery. I recollect the billiard-marker at one of the Christchurch hotels was the younger son of a baronet.
The billiard-marker of "L'Hotel Soult" had vanished as completely as well, as Mr Ratman. "You know, of course," said the tutor once, with the rather unsympathetic drawl in which he was wont to allude to the lost Ingleton "you know, of course, that if the man you want is Ratman, you are having the assistance of the police in your search.
O' course it's my name. My father was billiard-marker at Casey's Hotel, Dandaloo," said the old man with conscious pride. "A swell he had been, but the boose done him up, like many a better man. He used to write to people over in England for money, but they never giv him any." "Where did he write to?" asked Carew, looking at the uncouth figure with intense interest.
"I may come to be a society novelist; if so, inside knowledge of the aristocracy will give me decided advantage over the majority of my competitors." Other callings he had sampled: had tramped through Ireland with a fiddle; through Scotland with a lecture on Palestine, assisted by dissolving views; had been a billiard-marker; next a schoolmaster.
He had been a schoolmaster dismissed from his school for a grave offence; he had been a billiard-marker; he had walked the streets of Brussels in a frock-coat and tall hat, a "guide" on the lookout for young foreigners who wished to enjoy the more dubious pleasures of the city. He had been many things, till, at the age of thirty-five, he became a servant of the crown.
The sisters listened in breathless silence, only when Malcolm mentioned the words billiard-marker and valet Elizabeth uttered a quick exclamation, and threw up her head with a proud gesture, while poor Dinah grew white when she heard that her boy was actually engaged.
He also got about half a mile of sympathy, religious consolation, and medical advice which he didn't remember. "Now," he said, triumphantly, "am I a mug or not?" Steelman kindly ignored the question. "I did have a better opinion of the Scotch," he said, contemptuously. Steelman got on at an hotel as billiard-marker and decoy, and in six months he managed that pub.
He was a short, little man, with heavy limbs and a clumsy figure, reddish hair, very thin on the crown, small eyes that were not improved in expression by white eyebrows, a red face, smooth shaven and freckled. It might have been the face of a hostler or a billiard-marker. "I am delighted, my lord, that you could make room in your engagements to come." "Ah, Mrs.
