After dinner I and Sir Thomas Crewe went aside to discourse of public matters, and do find by him that all the country gentlemen are publickly jealous of the courtiers in the Parliament, and that they do doubt every thing that they propose; and that the true reason why the country-gentlemen are for a land-tax and against a general excise, is, because they are fearful that if the latter be granted, they shall never get it down again; whereas the land-tax will be but for so much, and when the war ceases, there will be no ground got by the court to keep it up.
Crewe, about nine o'clock our candidate having a piercing eye of his own. Mr. Putter's coat, being brushed back, has revealed six cigars. "Why, yes yes," says Mr. Watling. "Is he a delegate?" Mr. Crewe demanded. "Why, I guess he must be," says Mr. Watling. But Mr. Putter is not a delegate. "You've stood up and made a grand fight, Mr.
"I have a letter here from Oxford," said Crewe, putting his hand in his pocket. "I hadn't opened my letters when Pinto came. You'll find all the news there, if there is any news." He handed the envelope to the other and the colonel transferred it to his pocket. "That'll keep," he said. "What was I talking about? Oh, yes, Gregory. The whole of this business has come about through Gregory.
I don't wish him to live idly. The question is, What ought he to do? I think you know a gentleman of his acquaintance, Mr. Crewe? The question was added rather abruptly, and with a watchful gaze. 'I know him a little. 'Something has been said, I believe, about Horace investing money in Mr. Crewe's business. Do you think it would be advisable? Surprise kept Nancy silent. 'Is Mr.
The jemmy found in the flat fits the mark made in the window at Riversbrook, and we've got something more another witness who saw him in Tanton Gardens about the time of the murder. If Birchill can get his neck out of the noose, he's cleverer than I take him for." Crewe did not reply directly to Rolfe's summary of the case.
I am glad of this opportunity of assuring you that we do not," he continued, leaning forward and holding up his hand to ward off interruption, "and I know that Senator Whitredge will bear me out in this statement, too." The senator nodded gravely. Mr. Crewe, who was anything but a fool, and just as assertive as Mr. Flint, cut in. "Look here, Mr. Flint," he said, "I know what a lobby is.
At the next station, the company telegraphed back at its own cost the voluminous message of my anxiety and indignation, and I was assured that the next train would bring my valise from Crewe to Edinburgh. When I arrived at Edinburgh, I casually mentioned my trouble to a guard whom I had not seen before. He asked how the bags were marked, and then he said they had come with us.
But I swear to you if you do not let me do this I will confess everything. I know Mabel Fewbanks, and I repeat, she is not aware of what this man Crewe has done. She would not will not, permit it. I shall go down to Dellmere at once." Her face was pale, and her eyes glittered as she looked at her husband, but she spoke with unnatural self-possession.
"The man," said Mr. Crewe, impatiently, "would be a fool." "Or else a person of extreme discernment," said Victoria. "And love is lenient with fools. By the way, Humphrey, it has just occurred to me that there's one quality which some people think necessary in a wife, which you didn't mention." "What's that?" "Love," said Victoria. "Love, of course," he agreed; "I took that for granted."
They say he's got Adam to cough up six thousand extra since five o'clock, but the question is ain't he stringin' us? He paid six hundred for a block of ten not quarter of an hour ago and nine of 'em were our delegates." It must be remembered that these are Mr. Tooting's words, and Mr. Crewe evidently treated them as the product of that gentleman's vivid imagination.
