I can be so irritating, not telling people things, when I like, and it was quite a while before he elicited the facts from me, which Mrs. Carruthers had often hurled at my head in moments of anger, that poor mamma's father had been Lord de Brandreth and her mother, Heaven knows who! "So you see," I ended with, "I haven't any relations, after all, have I?" He sat down upon the sofa.
The drawings were of course submitted to Captain Brandreth. He was delighted with my design. The steam pile-driver would be, in his opinion, the prime agent for effecting the commencement of the great work originated by himself.
Brandreth and his ridiculous Social Union and theatricals, and brought all this trouble on myself. I talked to Mr. Peck about them. You know what his views are?" "Only from Putney's talk," said the doctor.
Unfortunately, one Jeremiah Brandreth, who was at the head of those rioters, very wantonly fired a shot at random through the back window of a farm-house, where the inmates had refused to admit them, or to deliver them any arms, which the rioters, scarcely one hundred in number, had demanded.
Brandreth had risen; but he sat down again, as if glad to afford her any light he could throw upon the subject. "How am I to 'influence people, as you say?" she continued. "I'm quite a stranger in Hatboro'; I hardly know anybody." "But a great many people know you, Miss Kilburn. Your name is associated with the history of the place, and you could do everything for us. You won't refuse!" cried Mr.
You know them?" "Oh yes; they were old girl friends." "Then you know why I go to Mrs. Gerrish's first. She'll care a great deal, and Mrs. Wilmington won't care at all. She's a delicious creature, Mrs. Wilmington don't you think? That large, indolent nature; Mr. Brandreth says she makes him think of 'the land in which it seemed always afternoon."
Munger, of course; so that there's a very pleasant variety." "I certainly had no idea of it," said Annie. "I knew you couldn't have," said Mr. Brandreth, "or you wouldn't have felt any doubt about our having the material for the theatricals. You see, I want to interest all the nice people in it, and make it a whole-town affair.
I arrived in New York in June 1838, and by that time I had become such a firm believer in the efficacy of Brandreth's Pills, that I hardly stopped long enough to speak with my family, before I hastened to the "principal office" of Doctor Brandreth to congratulate him on being the greatest public benefactor of the age. I found the doctor "at home," and introduced myself without ceremony.
It is highly probable that the editor would have been baffled after all, but for one of those lucky accidents which sometimes happen to men who are bound to succeed. There was a young man then in the city named Brandreth, who had brought a pill over with him from England, and was looking about in New York for some cheap, effective way of advertising his pill.
You see, it gives a notion of the whole action, and tells the story pretty well. I think you'll be pleased." "I've no doubt I shall," said Annie. "Did you make the adaptation yourself, Mr. Brandreth?" "Well, yes, I did," Mr. Brandreth modestly admitted. "It's been a good deal of work, but it's been a pleasure too. You know how that is, Miss Kilburn, in your charities."
