Unfortunately, at this moment a shadow approached the window. The coalheaver saw that a cry might lose all, and moved, as if to spring on the passenger; his companion held him back. "Captain," said he, "do not hurt this man;" and then, approaching him "Pass on, my friend," said he, "but pass quickly, and do not look back."
You push me. I fall between the regent and him who has his arm. I separate them. You seize on him and gag him, and at a whistle the carriage arrives, while Simiane and Ravanne are held with pistols at their throats." "But," answered the coalheaver, in a low voice, "if he declares his name." The man in the cloak replied, in a still lower tone, "In conspiracies there are no half measures.
"Tifto says so." "Which at the present moment," asked Miss Boncassen, "is the greater favourite with the public, Madame Scholzdam or Coalheaver?" "Coalheaver is a horse, Miss Boncassen." "Oh, a horse!" "Perhaps I ought to say a colt." "Oh, a colt." "Do you suppose, Dolly, that Miss Boncassen doesn't know all that?" asked Silverbridge.
A big stooping man with tousled hair and beard sprang down from the cart, threw the reins over the back of the nag, and came towards the house. He looked like a coalheaver. "He's selling herrings," said Ditte, who was kneeling on a stool by the window. "Shall I let him in?" "Ay, just open the door." Ditte unbolted the door, and the man came staggering in.
Rudolph, I said to myself, 'Ah! but this is the coalheaver doctor, this black man; he can feel their pulse without soiling his hands! But never mind, color is skin deep; he seems to be a first-rate hand, all the same. He ordered a potion for Madame Morel, which relieved her at once." "Poor woman, she must be very sad." "Oh! yes, Mr.
Calling the chairman "an old messer," and telling him for Gawd's sake to shut up if that was all he could do for his living, she came down to the front, and took the case into her own hands. She did not waste time on the rest of the audience. She went direct for that coalheaver, and thereupon ensued a slanging match the memory of which sends a trill of admiration through me even to this day.
Honore," said the man in the cloak. "Forward, forward." "They are pursuing us," said Simiane; "quick to the other side; back." "I do not know what prevents me," said the man in the cloak, drawing a pistol from his belt and aiming at the regent, "from bringing him down like a partridge." "Thousand furies!" cried the coalheaver, stopping him, "you will get us all hanged and quartered."
Most people you meet in your walks in the common thoroughfare of London, glide, shuffle, or crawl onward, as if they conscientiously thought they had no manner of right to tread the earth but on sufferance. Not so our coalheaver. Mark how erect he walks! how firm a keel he presents to the vainly breasting human tide that comes rolling on with a show of opposition to his onward course!
It was almost a blow, such a push as is the next thing to actual violence, and it sent her staggering from the sloppy bar at which their altercation took place against a bench by the wall, where she sat down pale and gasping, to the indignation of a slatternly woman nursing her child, and the concern of an honest coalheaver, who had a virago of a wife at home.
And if we remember that it is the nature of compliment, as we daily hear it, to attribute more than is due that in the constantly widening application of "esquire," in the perpetual repetition of "your honour" by the fawning Irishman, and in the use of the name "gentleman" to any coalheaver or dustman by the lower classes of London, we have current examples of the depreciation of titles consequent on compliment and that in barbarous times, when the wish to propitiate was stronger than now, this effect must have been greater; we shall see that there naturally arose an extensive misuse of all early distinctions.
