'But really, Lance, it was a terrible thing to do. 'And where do you think I found him? said Felix. 'In between little Jacky Brown and that big old coal-heaver who was so impudent about the blanket-club, hanging like a monkey upon the rails of the terrace, and hallooing as loud as they. ''Twas the coal-heaver that helped me up, said Lance. 'He's a jolly good fellow, I can tell you.
The last thing in which the cultivated man can have community with the vulgar is their jocularity; and we can hardly exhibit more strikingly the wide gulf which separates him from them, than by comparing the object which shakes the diaphragm of a coal-heaver with the highly complex pleasure derived from a real witticism.
"I shall be much hurt if you do so," said Marian, reproachfully. "I kept a lunch prepared for you during the afternoon, and now have a warm dinner all ready. It will be very ungracious in you to go away and leave it." "But I look like a coal-heaver." "Oh, I've seen well-dressed men before. They are no novelty; but a man direct from a field of battle is quite interesting.
We see persons spending dollar after dollar foolishly one hour, and in the next trying to save a five penny piece off of a wood-sawyer, coal-heaver, or market-woman. Such things are disgraceful, if not dishonest. "O DEAR!" said I to Mr. Smith one morning, as we arose from the breakfast-table, at which we had been partaking of rather a badly-cooked meal, "more trouble in prospect."
What that provincial coal-heaver had foretold had indeed come to pass. The populace, that most fickle of all fickle things in this world, had turned all at once against its favourite. This Lenoir had predicted, and the transition had been even more rapid than he had anticipated. Deroulede had been given a length of rope, and, figuratively speaking, had already hanged himself.
Good, strong, wholesome medicine, as was given with great success to two Irish labourers and a coal-heaver, only a week before sent 'em for nothing, with a blackin'-bottle in, and he sends back word that she shan't take it, sir! As the atrocity presented itself to Mr. Bumble's mind in full force, he struck the counter sharply with his cane, and became flushed with indignation.
Gwynne walked up the steps and along the plank walk. Isabel recognized him by his carriage, for he was as black as a coal-heaver and most of his hair was burned off. "I should like to wash first," he said, as he came up the house flight. "The water will go with the rest." "Of course. Do you want anything to eat." "No, I had some sandwiches a while ago."
There are 350 houses in Belinda Avenue, all as like as two peas, and though Mr. Smythe has a number, he never admits it. Chatsworth House is where he lives, and if you want him it's Chatsworth House that you have to find. The other night a friend of mine was called to the door at a late hour. It was dark and raining and dismal. At the door stood a coal-heaver.
I've heard him call her names that would frighten a coal-heaver. I have, indeed. But he'll die soon, and then she'll be comfortable. She has three thousand a year jointure." He'll die soon, and then she'll be comfortable! That was one phase of married life. As Crosbie's mind dwelt upon the words, he remembered Lily's promise made in the fields, that she would do everything for him.
The four winds of Heaven blew chilly upon his raw and unprotected soul, and he wanted to wrap it up in a mantle of sympathy, careless of the source from which he borrowed that mantle. If Webster felt disposed, as he seemed to indicate, to comfort him, let the thing go on. At that moment Sam would have accepted condolences from a coal-heaver.
