Yes there sat the two sharpers, side by side, behind the faro-table not as mere bettors, but acting respectively as banker and croupier of the game! Chorley held the dealing-box in his fingers, while Hatcher sat upon his right, with cheques, dollars, and bank-notes piled upon the table in front of him! A glance around the ring of faces showed us the pork-merchant as well.
You will be sure to think I am vexed at the article on my husband's new poem. Why, certainly I am vexed! Who would not be vexed with such misunderstanding and mistaking. Dear Mr. Chorley writes a letter to appreciate most generously: so you see how little power he has in the paper to insert an opinion, or stop an injustice.
Again Chorley and I were winners, and the pork-man asked his partner if he would double again. The latter consented after a little hesitation, as though he thought the amount too high. Of course we, the winners, could not object, and once more we "swept the shin-plasters," as Chorley euphoniously expressed it.
Chorley sums up this characteristic of Bellini in the following words: "In spite of the inexperience with which the instrumental score is filled up, the opening scene of 'Norma' in the dim druidical wood bears the true character of ancient sylvan antiquity.
Chorley, now that I have to thank you for the value of the work as well as the kindness of the gift, for I have read your three volumes of 'Pomfret' with interest and moral assent, and with great pleasure in various ways: it is a pure, true book without effort, which, in these days of gesture and rolling of the eyes, is an uncommon thing.
But then, that is not depreciatory of his power and eloquence surely not. To Mr. Dear Mr. Chorley, Kindnesses are more frequent things with me than gladnesses, but I thank you earnestly for both in the letter I have this moment received. I thank you, dear Mr. Chorley. After all, we are not quite strangers.
Byrom-street was named after Octavius Byrom. Chisenhale-street is named after Chisenhale Johnson. Chorley-street is called after Mr. Chorley, who was recorder of Liverpool from 1602 till 1620. Canning-street is named in honour of the statesman. Cleveland-square takes its name from the Clevelands; it was formerly called Price-square. The Prices were lords of the manor of Birkenhead.
Chorley 50 Wimpole Street: November 1845. I must trouble you with another letter of thanks, dear Mr.
Arkwright was even denounced as the enemy of the working people; and a mill which he built near Chorley was destroyed by a mob in the presence of a strong force of police and military. The Lancashire men refused to buy his materials, though they were confessedly the best in the market.
The other players had become so interested in the result, that they withheld their stakes in order to watch it. Chorley commenced drawing the cards. Each one as it came forth caused a momentary thrill of expectancy; and when aces, deuces, or tres with their broad white margins appeared outside the edge of that mysterious box, the excitement became intense.
