I'll bet Brander Matthews kept one, and James Huneker. It's a pity Professor Matthews's was a bit tedious. Crabb Robinson was the man for my money. McFee might be let off the job by reason of his ambrosial letters. But it just occurs to me that of course one must not know who is keeping the diary. If it were known, he would be deluged with letters from people wanting to get their names into it.
Crabb, nervously, "I am going to leave the institute at the end of the week." "Have you secured another situation, Mr. Crabb?" asked Hector, hopefully. "No," answered the usher, shaking his head. "I have been discharged." "For what reason?" "For interfering with Mr. Smith's nephew when he was brutally abusing Wilkins." "Did Mr. Smith fully understand the circumstances?"
"I hope you'll get along with my boy," said the bluff city merchant. "Of one thing you may be assured, your scholarship won't be severely taxed in educating him. Walter is a pretty good boy, but he isn't a prodigy of learning." "I may be some day, father," said Walter, "with Mr. Crabb's help." "I take it Mr. Crabb isn't able to perform miracles," said Mr. Ross, good-humoredly. "No, Mr.
He decided that the exigencies of the case warranted his putting a sentry over Hay's stable, with orders to permit no horse to be taken out except by an order from him, and Crabb took him and showed him, two days later, the tracks of two horses going and coming in the soft earth in front of a narrow side door that led to the corral.
Crabb was anxious to have him go to Dartmouth, his own alma mater, being convinced that he would do him credit and make a brilliant record for scholarship. Indeed, it was settled that he would go, his parents being ready to be guided by the doctor's advice. From Penhurst to Arden, where Andy's parents lived, was fifty miles. Starting at three o'clock, the train reached Arden station at five.
"Let them say what they please, and I will do what I please," said Hector, independently. "Old Sock ain't any too fond of Crabb since he took your part the other day. Jim says the old man means to bounce him before long." "I suppose that means discharge him." "It means giving him his walking papers. Jim will see that he does it, too."
And their names, like their natures, spring up from the same root. 'Patience, says Crabb in his English Synonyms, 'comes from the active participle to suffer; while passion comes from the passive participle of the same verb; and hence the difference between the two names.
This servant was just as much alarmed, and he got out. The third did not fare better, for the peasant again said, "Grethe, that is the third." The fourth had to carry in a dish that was covered, and the lord told the doctor that he was to show his skill, and guess what was beneath the cover. The doctor looked at the dish, had no idea what to say, and cried, "Ah, poor Crabb."
Crabb restraining me," he decided, and he marched into the school-room next morning, ostentatiously displaying his wife's largest scissors. His pupils crowded in after him, and though he noticed that all were strangely quiet and many wearing scared faces, he put it down to the coming scene.
"Oh, that big bully I saw on the playground?" "Hush!" said Crabb, apprehensively. "Mr. Smith would not like to have you speak so of his nephew." "So, Mr. Crabb is afraid of the cad," soliloquized Hector. "I suppose I may think what I please about him," he added, smiling pleasantly. "Ye-es, of course; but, Master Roscoe, let me advise you to be prudent." "Is he in your class?" "Yes."
