"Six months," replied the other. "It come to me quite natural I was on the penitent bench on the Saturday, and the Wednesday afterwards I preached as good a sermon as ever I've preached in my life. Brother Clark said it took 'is breath away." "And he's a judge too," said the admiring jeweller. "Now," continued Brother Burge, helping himself plentifully to pickled walnuts.
FRANKLYN. Your turn now, Conrad. Go ahead. CONRAD. I don't think it's any good. I don't think they want to live longer than usual. LUBIN. Although I am a mere child of 69, I am old enough to have lost, the habit of crying for the moon. BURGE. Have you discovered the elixir of life or have you not? If not, I agree with Lubin that you are wasting our time. CONRAD. Is your time of any value?
Is it about the land? CONRAD. No. SURGE. Is it about the Church? CONRAD. No. BURGE. Is it about the House of Lords? CONRAD. No. BURGE. Is it about Proportional Representation? CONRAD. No. SURGE. Is it about Free Trade? CONRAD. No. SURGE. Is it about the priest in the school? CONRAD. No. BURGE. Is it about Ireland? CONRAD. No. BURGE. Is it about Germany? CONRAD. No.
The jeweller shot back the bolts, and half-a-dozen neighbours, headed by the butcher opposite, clad in his nightgown and armed with a cleaver, burst into the passage. A constable came running up just as the pallid face of Brother Burge peered over the balusters. The constable went upstairs three at a time, and twisting his hand in the ex-burglar's neck-cloth bore him backwards.
They 'adn't been married long afore she 'ad her cousin, Charlie Burge, come in as barman, and a month or two arter that 'is brother Bob, who 'ad been spending a lot o' time looking for work instead o' doing it, came too.
But we worked together for years; and I hope I have done nothing to justify you in the amazing accusation you have just brought against me. Do you realize that you said that I have no conscience? BURGE. Lubin: I am very accessible to an appeal to my emotions; and you are very cunning in making such appeals. I will meet you to this extent. I dont mean that you are a bad man.
Brother Higgs reeled back and a mist passed before his eyes. He came to himself at the sound of a door opening, and impelled with a vague idea of defending his property, snatched up his candle and looked out on to the landing. The light fell on Brother Burge, fully dressed and holding his boots in his hand. For a moment they gazed at each other in silence; then the jeweller found his voice.
They're afraid of the roof pushing the walls out, and I'm going to see what can be done with it before we send the stuff and the workmen." "Why, Burge trusts almost everything to you now, Adam, doesn't he? I should think he will make you his partner soon. He will, if he's wise." "Nay, sir, I don't see as he'd be much the better off for that.
The Methodists can seldom lay much hold on THEM." "Why, sir, there's a pretty lot o' workmen round about, sir. There's Mester Burge as owns the timber-yard over there, he underteks a good bit o' building an' repairs. An' there's the stone-pits not far off. There's plenty of emply i' this countryside, sir.
"So upset," hazarded the jeweller. "I broke his jor, pore feller," said Brother Burge, a sad but withal indulgent smile lighting up his face at the vagaries of his former career. "What time do you go to bed, Brother?" "Any time," said the other reluctantly. "I suppose you are tired with your journey?" Mr. Burge assented, and rising from his chair yawned loudly and stretched himself.
