I had come, though somewhat in want of consolation myself, to offer any consolation which was at my command to my acquaintance Catchpole, and perhaps like many other people who go to a house with "drops of compassion trembling on their eyelids," I felt rather disappointed at finding that no compassion was necessary.
"D n me," says he, "away to the pump with the catchpole directly shew me your writ, or let the gentleman go you shall not arrest a man contrary to law." He then laid his hands on the doctor, who, still fast griping the attorney, cried out, "He is a villain I am no bailiff, but a clergyman, and this lawyer is guilty of forgery, and hath ruined a poor family."
Baxendale is very particular about cooking. He used to complain a good deal about the food at the club, but after his marriage he said it had improved, which no one could understand, as the kitchen staff has not been changed for twenty years. Freddy Catchpole said that once when he dined with them Mrs. Baxendale asked him about the club cook, because Gilbert was very dissatisfied with theirs.
Come, what do you think of the plan?’ ‘It is a very ingenious one,’ said I. ‘Ain’t it?’ said the landlord. ‘The folks in this neighbourhood are beginning to call me old fool; but if they don’t call me something else, when they sees me friends with the brewer, and money in my pocket, my name is not Catchpole. Come, drink your ale, and go home to the young gentlewoman.’
After which, Catchpole, well stuffed and moistened, came with Oudart to the place where all the actors in the farce stood ready to begin. The sight of their game set them a-laughing, and the messenger of mischief grinned also for company's sake. Then the mysterious words were muttered to and by the couple, their hands joined, the bride bussed, and all besprinkled with holy water.
"Did he pay it? did you see him hand over the money?" "I did, and Mr. Catchpole took it and put it in the till. I see'd it go in with my own eyes." "Well, what happened then?" "He locked the till all in a hurry, put the key in his waistcoat pocket; let me see, it wor in his left-hand pocket no, wot am I a- sayin'? it wor in his right-hand pocket I want to be particklar, Mr.
When I commenced reading in prison there were a good many works in the library, which were afterwards withdrawn as being too amusing for the place. These were such works as "The Last Days of Pompeii," "Now and Then," "Adam Bede," "Poor Jack," "Margaret Catchpole," "Irving's Sketch-book," "Dickens's Christmas Tales," &c.
"I must be going, I think, Mr. Catchpole; good-night." "I'll walk with you as far as your door, sir. There's something I want to say to you." Mr. Cardew did not reply, and meditated for a moment. "It is a lovely evening. We will sit here a little longer. What is it?" "Mr.
Furze, "who always stuck out against our coming up here, and was rude to Mrs. Colston and her son. I do not blame her so much, though, as I do that wretch of a Catchpole. What he wants is plain enough: he'll marry her and have the business, the son of a blind beggar who used to go on errands!
But the question is whether it doesn't oblige me to act as if it had; whether I oughtn't, if I've got this suspicion, to take some steps at once to find out whether Northwick's really gone or not, and to mix myself actively up in the catchpole business of his pursuit, after I promised him he shouldn't be shadowed in any way till his three days were over."
