"He hasn't been to the club since the night you sang 'Eileen Alanna. That was about the time Hayne's piano came." "Yes," put in Foster, "Mrs. Waldron says he goes and owls Hayne now night after night just to hear him play." "It would be well for him, then, if he kept a better guard on Mr. Hayne's other visitors," said Buxton, with a black scowl.
First thing, if so we'd ha' found the Professor, for all they wanted was the stone; they'd no use in the world for his body. But there's a lot more in it than that. They want the Professor himself. It's a dead sure thing that where that big stone came from there's a lot more, and they intend to make him show them the place." "Ah," said Mr. Buxton, "there's a good deal in that, Risley.
But, you know, the possibility crossed my mind, and I mentioned it." At this moment the servant announced that the meal was ready, and Jack did his best to eat something. It was a very poor best, however, for he was too anxious to be on his way to be able to eat, and he was relieved when Mr. Buxton said it was time to start and sent the servant for a cab.
Buxton, the champion convert of Jacob Cochrane, was at her worst, keeping her whole family awake nights by her hysterical fears for their future, Dr. Perry had given her a twelfth of a grain of tartar emetic, five times a day until she had entire mental relief and her anxiety concerning the salvation of her husband and children was set completely at rest.
At last he was on the point of withdrawing, when Mr. Buxton entreated him to sup with them. "I must not," he said; "I am responsible for your property, Mr. Buxton." "Then I understand that these ladies may come and go as they please?" he asked carelessly. "Certainly, sir."
And I rigged myself out at a slop-shop with suitable clothes for a steerage passenger. Maggie! you never told me the name of the vessel you were going to sail in!" "I did not know it till I got to Liverpool. All Mr. Buxton said was, that some ship sailed on the 15th." She had just heaved her anchor when I came on board. Don't you recollect a boat hailing her at the last moment?
"Your famous Buxton baths don't seem to have agreed with her, by all I can see," said Lord Clonbrony. "My lord, the Buxton baths are no way to blame; but I know what is to blame and who is to blame," said Lady Clonbrony, in a tone of displeasure, fixing her eyes upon her son. "Yes, you may well look confounded, Colambre; but it is too late now you should have known your own mind in time.
"Stand back, madam," said the pursuivant, "or I shall call for help." Then Mr. Buxton threw back the window. "Who is there?" he asked coolly. "It is I, Mr. Buxton, but this insolent dog " "Stand back, madam, I say," cried the voice of the guard. Then from the garden behind came running footsteps and voices; and a red light shone through the windows behind.
These men were very few, however; but Buxton was one of them. Rayner's eyes were fixed upon the colonel and searching for a sign, and it came, a little motion of the hand and a nod of the head that signified "Stay."
His energy became theirs, and the self-sacrificing zeal in which he had so long laboured single- handed, became at length transfused into the nation itself. His mantle fell upon Clarkson, upon Wilberforce, upon Brougham, and upon Buxton, who laboured as he had done, with like energy and stedfastness of purpose, until at length slavery was abolished throughout the British dominions.
