IV. The Fortunate Blue-Coat Boy I have not seen. Canon Ainger describes it as a rather foolish romance, showing how a Blue-coat boy marries a rich lady of rank. The sub-title is "Memoirs of the Life and Happy Adventures of Mr. Benjamin Templeman; formerly a Scholar in Christ's Hospital. By an Orphanotropian," 1770. I have not discovered a copy of Matthew Feilde's play.
My poor father was slightly wounded, and I am left to take care of him and my aunt. Mr, Norris, of the Blue-coat School, has been very kind to us, and we have no other friend; but, thank God, I am very calm and composed, and able to do the best that remains to do. Write as religious a letter as possible, but no mention of what is gone and done with.
I almost sank upon the pavement in a state of helpless excitement, which I could not have explained to myself if I had stopped to reason; for why, after all, should I take the thing so tragically. But something within me said that all was wrong. A policeman happened to pass. "'Officer! officer! I shouted, 'have you seen it? "'Seen what? asked the blue-coat, twirling his club.
"I seed a feller makin' tracks toward the river," said the seeming countryman in answer to a query from a blue-coat. "He's going to one of the low dives down near the dock," declared the sergeant of police, and then he quickly hastened on his way.
"Den she give me dis mug's address, an' two bones for me fare, an' tole me ter come down here, which I did, an' I wish ter I hadn't; see?" "That's a pretty good story, Harrigan," said Nick. "Patsy, get a policeman to stay here with Gaspard." Patsy brought the blue-coat in a few minutes. "Now, we'll go up to Fifty-seventh street," said Nick.
'People may say what they like, observed Mrs Nickleby, 'but there's a great deal of comfort in a nightcap, as I'm sure you would confess, Nicholas my dear, if you would only have strings to yours, and wear it like a Christian, instead of sticking it upon the very top of your head like a blue-coat boy.
And the inexplicable part of the news is, that in every instance the murderers have cheated the gallows." "Come, move on there," gruffly shouts a policeman. "Hallo, Mason," cries one of the club men as he pushes his way to the side of the policeman. "O! How do you do, Mr. Castor," says the blue-coat, in deferential tone. "Mason, these are my friends; we want to stand here for a few minutes.
So through sympathy Coleridge and Southey met. Coleridge also brought along a young philosopher and poet, who had also been a Blue-Coat, by the name of Lovell. These three young men talked philosophy, and came to the conclusion that the world was wrong. They said society was founded on a false hypothesis they would better things.
