"I have thought the matter over since," continued the principal, "and have concluded we might be able to arrange matters." The usher was surprised. He had not expected that Mr. Smith would make overtures of reconciliation. He decided not to mention at present his brighter prospects in New York, but to wait and see what further his employer had to say. Mr. Crabb bowed, but did not make any reply.
The twins were put out, after the foreign fashion, to nurse, and a village in the neighbourhood, and the widow and her mother maintained a very good appearance despite their small income; and it was not long before the Widow McCarty married a young Englishman, James Gann, Esq. of the great oil-house of Gann, Blubbery, and Gann, who was boarding in the same house with Mrs. Crabb and her daughter.
On leaving the Palazzo, Landor acquired the Villa Gherardesca, on the hill-side below Fiesole, and a very beautiful little estate in which the stream Affrico rises. Crabb Robinson, the friend of so many men of genius, who was in Florence in 1880, in rooms at 1341 Via della Nuova Vigna, met Landor frequently at his villa and has left his impressions.
The invasion of Sonora in the summer of 1857 by filibusters from California, generally called the "Crabb Expedition," caused the pall of death to fall on the boundary line of Mexico. Forty-two Americans had been massacred at Caborca, and many Mexicans had been killed.
"I hope you didn't encourage him," said Walter, with a grimace. "No; I told him that we were generally out in the afternoon." "That is right." "I suppose you have been hard at work, Walter?" "Ask Mr. Crabb." "Walter has done very well," said the usher. "If he will continue to study as well, I shall have no fault to find." "If I do, will you qualify me to be a professor in twelve months' time?"
The doctor looked at the dish, had no idea what to say, and cried: 'Ah, poor Crabb. When the lord heard that, he cried: 'There! he knows it; he must also know who has the money! On this the servants looked terribly uneasy, and made a sign to the doctor that they wished him to step outside for a moment.
Smith asked me to bring him to you." "Ah, indeed!" said Crabb, adjusting his glasses, which seemed to sit uneasily on his nose. "I hope you are well, Roscoe?" "Thank you, sir; my health is good." "The schoolbell will ring directly. Perhaps you had better come into the schoolroom and select a desk." "Very well, sir." "Are you a classical scholar, Roscoe?" "Yes, sir."
"You are not in earnest, Roscoe?" asked the usher, who could not believe in his good fortune. "I will read you the letter, Mr. Crabb." When it was read the usher looked radiant. "Roscoe," he said, "you come to me like an angel from heaven. Just now I was sad and depressed; now it seems to me that the whole future is radiant. Sixty dollars a month! Why, it will make me a rich man." "Mr.
So one of their daughters told Canon Ainger. Crabb Robinson seems to have exerted himself for the family, as Lamb wished. Mr. W.C. Hazlitt says that an annuity of £80 was settled upon Mrs. Norris. To the last he called me Jemmy. In the letter to Crabb Robinson "To the last he called me Charley. I have none to call me Charley now."
"So he is." "I can't understand why the boys should give in to him as they do." "He is taller and stronger than the other boys. Besides, he is backed up by the principal. I hope you won't get into difficulty with him." "Thank you, Mr. Crabb. Your caution is kindly meant, but I am not afraid of this Jim Smith. I am quite able to defend myself if attacked."
