And finding nobody about the parlours, it occurred to him, that he could perhaps originate the proceedings with better effect in the kitchen; so into the kitchen he went. There were assembled, in that lower house of the domestic parliament, the women-servants, Mr. Brittles, Mr.
And seeing, by the bye, that Brittles had been a slow boy for upwards of thirty years, there appeared no great probability of his ever being a fast one. 'He gets worse instead of better, I think, said the elder lady. 'It is very inexcusable in him if he stops to play with any other boys, said the young lady, smiling. Mr.
Brittles, who had got behind the door to open it, no sooner saw Oliver, than he uttered a loud cry. Mr. 'Here he is! bawled Giles, calling in a state of great excitement, up the staircase; 'here's one of the thieves, ma'am! Here's a thief, miss! Wounded, miss! I shot him, miss; and Brittles held the light.
He said, if that wasn't law, he would be glad to know what was. 'I ask you again, thundered the doctor, 'are you, on your solemn oaths, able to identify that boy? Brittles looked doubtfully at Mr. Giles; Mr.
