An old woman was sitting at the corner, grinding a hand-organ, and as the robber ran past her, he dropped one of the rings into her cup. "Oh, dad," Mary had said, looking up and speaking on impulse, "did I hear you say last night that Burdon Woodward was in New York?" "No, dear. Boston." "Mm," thought Mary. "He'd say he was going to Boston for a blind."
This hill is called the "holy mountain." Captain Burdon has built a very pretty house near the holy mountain, where he sometimes lives with his family. I saw there a fine collection of stuffed birds, which he had brought himself from the Himalayas.
"On my way back," he was saying, "I stopped in New York and engaged a firm of accountants to come and look over the books. They are busy now, but I told them there was no hurry that we only wanted their suggestions " "I had forgotten about that," said Mary. "So had I. What do you suppose reminded me of it?" She shook her head. "One of the first men I saw in Washington was Burdon Woodward."
No! well, I should probably have to wait months before being 'heard, then I should probably meet with the chill repudiation dealt out to that wonderful Hindu scientist, Jagadis Bose, by Burdon Sanderson when the brilliant Indian savant tried to teach men what they never knew before about the life of plants.
"I can only tell you I'm sure of it and I might be mistaken at that. And even if it was Burdon, he'd only say that he had gone there to try to keep the strike from spreading yes, and he might be right at that," he added, desperately trying to be fair, "but well, he worries me that's all." He was worrying Mary, too, although for a different reason.
He was pleased to sneer at their pretensions to omniscience, and quite willing to pit himself against them. 'What can I do for you, Mr Burdon? 'I should be very much obliged if you would tell me as exactly as possible how Mrs Haddo died. 'It was a very simple case of endocarditis. 'May I ask how long before death you were called in? The doctor hesitated. He reddened a little.
This naturally comes out of the pockets of the people. The resident at Kottah, Captain Burdon, was an intimate friend of Dr. Sprenger's, who had previously acquainted him with my speedy arrival. But, unfortunately, he was at that time inspecting the different military stations; however, he had before his departure made arrangements for my reception, and requested Dr.
Burdon, that young prig that Spencer got down from London, met me at Gavin's, when I looked in there on my way home, and came the length of Minster Street with me, asking what I thought of an opening for a medical man partnership with young Ward, &c. I snubbed him so short, that I fancy I left him thinking whether his nose was on or off his face. 'He was rather premature.
Haddo, his heavy face wreathed with smiles, stepped forward heartily. He seemed thoroughly to enjoy the situation. 'Mr Burdon is an old friend of ours, he said. 'In fact, it was he who introduced me to my wife. And Miss Boyd and I have discussed Art and the Immortality of the Soul with the gravity due to such topics. He held out his hand, and Susie took it.
I did not know that this was something out of my control and that when the urge to write a novel seized me, I should be able to do nothing but submit. Five years later, the urge came and, refusing to write any more plays for the time, I started upon the longest of all my novels. I called it Of Human Bondage. The Magician Arthur Burdon and Dr Porhoët walked in silence.
