Wontner seemed surprised that the boys were not in the coal-cellar. 'Oh, a chap's assumed to be innocent until he's proved guilty, said Stalky, mounting step by step. 'How did they get you into the sack, Mr. Wontner? 'Jumped on me from behind two to one, said Mr. Wontner briefly. 'I think I handed each of them something first, but they roped my arms and legs.
Leave the room, sir; and have the kindness to wait in the coal-cellar till I call you." Gluck left the room melancholy enough. The brothers ate as much mutton as they could, locked the rest in the cupboard, and proceeded to get very drunk after dinner. Such a night as it was! Howling wind, and rushing rain, without intermission.
We conducted this inquiry on metaphysical principles; and it was ascertained satisfactorily that the roof of the coach, which by some weak men had been called the attics, and by some the garrets, was in reality the drawing-room; in which drawing-room the box was the chief ottoman or sofa; whilst it appeared that the inside which had been traditionally regarded as the only room tenantable by gentlemen, was, in fact, the coal-cellar in disguise.
Mr. Devine's determination, from which no argument could swerve him, to deliver the rest of his lecture in the coal-cellar gave the meeting a jolt from which it never recovered. I have dwelt upon this incident, because it was the means of introducing Cuthbert Banks to Mrs. Smethurst's niece, Adeline.
"You must lift it, you see, if you are to sweep the coal-cellar out clean. And you may as well put it on the barrow, and I'll wheel it out of your way." This she said in quite a civil voice, lest they should tell of her, and stood by while it was being done.
Get downstairs, little bag o' bones. With this, the undertaker's wife opened a side door, and pushed Oliver down a steep flight of stairs into a stone cell, damp and dark: forming the ante-room to the coal-cellar, and denominated 'kitchen'; wherein sat a slatternly girl, in shoes down at heel, and blue worsted stockings very much out of repair. 'Here, Charlotte, said Mr.
It's youse fer de coal-cellar, me man, an' we'll see what youse has to say when I makes me report to Sir Tummas. 'Well, dat's to de good, says Galer. 'Tell Sir Tummas. I'll explain to him. 'Not me! says de vally. 'Sir Tummas has a hard evenin's woik before him, jollyin' along de swells what's comin' to see dis stoige-piece dey're actin'. I ain't goin' to worry him till he's good and ready.
It was only a sinuous perspective of sunlit ripples twinkling between wooded gardens and open meadows, a fisherman or two upon the tow-path, a canoe in mid-stream, a gaunt church crowning all against the sky. But inset in such surroundings it was like a flash from a magic-lantern in a coal-cellar.
Tilda had caught the boy's hand, and was dragging him along. 'Dolph led them through the glass-house and down a flight of four steps to the broken door of a furnace-room. They pushed after him. Behind the furnace a second doorway opened upon a small coal-cellar, through the ceiling of which, in the right-hand corner, poured a circular ray of light.
The tap in the coal-cellar, out of repair, could be heard distinctly and systematically dropping water into a jar on the slopstone. "A school-teacher?" inquired Mrs. Baines. "Of course. What other kind is there?" said Sophia, sharply. "With Miss Chetwynd." "I don't think your father would like that," Mrs. Baines replied. "I'm sure he wouldn't like it." "Why not?"
