"You tell us so indeed," said Sylvia, "and it's most frightfully annoying of you; for we sha'n't have a minute to talk to Birchall, and he promised to have four different kinds of worms ready for us to look at this morning. Oh dear, dear! mayn't we go? Fanny, if you are so fond of Betty, why don't you speak to her yourself?" "I have spoken, and she won't listen to me."
Sir Frank Leader was known as the uncrowned king of the world's pulp-wood trade. But Bull felt, and declared, that the appellation did not come within measurable distance of expressing the man's real genius. Then there were those others: Stanton Brothers, and Lord Downtree, and the virile, youthful creature, Ray Birchall.
It was here that Fanny pounced on them. She came quickly forward, trying to look as pleasant as she could. "Well, twins," she said, "and how goes the world with you?" "Oh, all right!" replied Sylvia. "We can't stay to talk now; can we, Het? We've got to meet a friend of ours in the lower garden old Birchall. By the way, do you know old Birchall, Fan?"
Birchall need not send payment till he is in possession of all the works; only do not delay letting me know when the day is fixed for the publication of the pianoforte arrangement. For to-day, I only further earnestly recommend my affairs to your care; I shall be equally at your service at any time. Farewell, dear Ries. Your friend, Jan. 1816.

And now, dear Ries, pray receive my heartfelt thanks for your kindness, and especially for the corrections of the proofs.
"That's all right," said Hetty. "We may be off to Birchall now, mayn't we, Fanny?" "No, you mayn't. You must take a message from me to Betty." "I thought so," remarked Sylvia. Fanny had great difficulty in controlling her temper. After a minute she said, speaking quietly, "I don't permit myself to lower myself by arguing with children like you two.
Robert Birchall, music-seller, 133 New Bond Street, London, the sum of one hundred and thirty gold Dutch ducats, value in English currency sixty-five pounds, for all my copyright and interest, present and future, vested or contingent, or otherwise within the United kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland in the four following compositions or pieces of music composed or arranged by me, viz.: 1st.
Of course I had to go into the flower-garden to find Birchall and coax him to cut enough for me. Then I had to get Sarah Butt to help me to make the wreath, for I never made a wreath before in my life. But Sarah would do anything in the world that Betty suggested, she is so frightfully fond of her." "We are all fond of her, I think," said Martha.
The unhappy man was latterly much changed, and I must say I lament him from my heart, though I rejoice to think I left nothing undone that could contribute to his comfort. Tell Mr. Birchall that he is to repay the postage of my letters to you and Mr.
All he was concerned for was the absence of the man who was something more to him than a mere partner. Thinking of him now Bat remembered the other's final words, and the memory stirred him deeply. "Remember, old friend," he had said, "young Ray Birchall will be over from England at the break of winter. On his report to his people depends the whole thing we've built up.
