Besides being a great help to me and everybody else almost in Marshmallows, Tom has distinguished himself in the literary world j and when I read his books I am yet prouder of my brother-in-law. I am only afraid that Martha is not good enough for him. But she certainly improves, as I have said already. Jane Rogers was married to young Brownrigg about a year after we were married.
''Twas thou that smooth'd'st the rough-rugg'd bed of pain. 'Smooth'd'st! Would the teeth of a crocodile not splinter under that word? It seems to us as if Mr. Bowyer's verses ought to be boiled before they can be read. And when he says, 'Twas thou, what is the wretch talking to? Can he be apostrophizing the knout? We very much fear it. Brownrigg? The next pet was Sir Alexander Ball.
"Oh! sir," interposed young Tom, who had stood by during the dispute, "let me take it. You're not able to lift it." "Nonsense! Tom. Keep away," I said. "It is all the reparation I can make." And so Mr Brownrigg and I blundered into the little parlour with our burden not a great one, but I began to find myself failing. Mr Templeton sat in a Windsor chair in the middle of the room.
For Mr Brownrigg, I am not sure that the sense of any one sentence I ever uttered, down to the day of his death, entered into his brain I dare not say his mind or heart. With regard to him, and millions besides, I am more than happy to obey my Lord's command, and not judge. But it was not long either before my congregations began to improve, whatever might be the cause.
The evening I thought I might give to my books, and thus end my first Monday in my parish; but, as I said, Mr Brownrigg, the churchwarden, called and stayed a whole weary hour, talking about matters quite uninteresting to any who may hereafter peruse what I am now writing.
"Taking the little lady out, I suppose?" "No, she's upstairs." The man's eyes passed across Traill's face as they wandered to the portrait of James Brownrigg over the mantelpiece. "Well, I'm at a loose end," he said. He took a gold cigarette-case from his pocket and extracted a cigarette.
The Reverend Bishop of Salisbury has a work on the Fundamentals of Faith, which is now at press, designed for the composing of these disputes of the Christian world; doubtless to the great good of the Church. It may be the northern distractions hinder him from such and the like pacifical overtures. Brownrigg had written unto his lordship about it, to put all into a milder strain.
It happened that week that my son arrived in Dublin with some more of the kind of luggage he had brought over at Christmas, and, with the recklessness of youth, he went to the station, and, as Brownrigg, got the money returned.
What troubled him most was that, as he paid a considerable sum for carriage on these, and as the railway company had not forwarded them, he was entitled to have the money returned, But the police were on the look out for the so-called Brownrigg, and it was thought best that he should not venture near the station.
We smile at first, and are amused, and wonder, as we proceed, that the humorous narrative should produce conviction and pity shame, abhorrence, and despair. England seems to have treated Ireland much in the same way as Mrs. Brownrigg treated her apprentice for which Mrs. Brownrigg is hanged in the first volume of the Newgate Calendar.
