Should you need help hereafter, you must remember that I am earning a good salary and " "Thank you, Mr. Crabb," gratefully, "but you will need all you earn. I don't look upon my loss of fortune as a trouble. I think it will make me more manly and self-reliant, and stimulate me to exertion. I have a fair education, and I am sure I can earn my living in some honest way."
"I take it for granted, Mr. Crabb, that your means are limited," proceeded Socrates. "You are right there, sir. If I had not been poor I should not have accepted the position of teacher in Smith Institute for the pitiful salary of twenty dollars a month." "Twenty dollars a month and your board, Mr. Crabb," said Socrates, with dignity, "I consider a very fair remuneration." "I do not, Mr.
Scott, says Lockhart, considered Byron the only poet of transcendent talents we had had since Dryden. There is preserved a curious record of his meeting with a greater poet than Dryden, but one whose greatness neither he nor Scott suspected. Mr. Crabb Robinson reports Wordsworth to have said, in Charles Lamb's chambers, about the year 1808, "These reviewers put me out of patience.
On his way home from the readings he never had occasion to use it, but at these times he sometimes met Grizel, who liked to do her shopping in the evenings when her persecutors were more easily eluded, and he forced her to speak to him. Not her loneliness appealed to him, but that look of admiration she had given him when he was astride of Francie Crabb.
"You see, I came to meet you. I have been longing to have you come." "I am just as glad to see you, Walter," said Hector, heartily. "Mr. Crabb, here is your future pupil, Walter Boss." "I hope we may soon be friends, Walter," said the usher, attracted by the bright, sunny face of the boy. Walter gave the usher his hand. "I hope so, too," he said, smiling.
"I hope not, for in that case I should lose my scholar, and have to bow to his superior knowledge." "Then you don't know everything, Mr. Crabb?" "Far from it! I hope your father didn't engage me in any such illusion." "Because," said Walter, "I had one teacher who pretended to know all there was worth knowing. I remember how annoyed he was once when I caught him in a mistake in geography."
"But listen to the letter I have received from my kind and considerate guardian, as he styles himself," said Hector. He read Allan Roscoe's letter to the usher. "He seems in a great hurry to condemn you," said Mr. Crabb. "Yes, and to get me off his hands," said Hector, proudly. "Well, he shall be gratified in the last. I shall accept Walter's invitation, and we will go up to New York together."
In connection with Coleridge we had much reminiscence of such interesting persons as the Novellos, Martin Burney, Talfourd, and Crabb Robinson, and a store of anecdotes in which Haydon, Manning, Dyer, and Godwin figured at full length.
Christmas week the usual festival was given at Arivaca, and all the neighbors within a hundred miles invited. In 1858 the business of the Territory resumed its former prosperity, and the sad events of the "Crabb Expedition" were smoothed over as far as possible. The government had subsidized an overland mail service at nearly a million a year, called the Butterfield line, with daily mails from St.
I have a vivid recollection of Wordsworth, who was a very grave man, with strong features and a deep voice. Henry Crabb Robinson, one of the most amiable of men. I was a young versifier, and Wordsworth was just emerging out of a cloud of ignorant contumely into the sunrise of his fame.
