At the same time, a still more profitable class of labourers was at work—first, men like Stephenson, who were engaged in improving the locomotive and making it a practicable and economical working power; and next, those like Edward Pease of Darlington, and Joseph Sandars of Liverpool, who were organising the means of laying down the railways. Mr.
If, however, it conflicts with your views, reject it; but, in simple justice to me, do so in a better spirit than you manifest on the present occasion. Good evening!" Mrs. Darlington was too much disturbed in mind to make a reply, and Mr. Hiram Ellis left the room without any attempt on the part of his sister to detain him.
Cotherstone made no reply, and Mallalieu presently left him and went home to get his breakfast. And as he walked up the road to his house he wondered why Stoner had gone to Darlington. Was it possible that he had communicated what he knew to any of his friends? If so "Confound the suspense and the uncertainty!" growled Mallalieu. "It 'ud wear the life out of a man.
The day brought an immense concourse of people to Darlington, all bent on seeing the novel spectacle of a train of carriages and wagons filled with passengers and goods, drawn along a railway by a steam engine. At eight o'clock in the morning the train started with its load 22 vehicles hauled by Stephenson's "Locomotion," driven by Stephenson himself.
Hours passed in playing and drinking; and finally, Darlington, whose good fortune did not continue, parted with every sixpence. "Lend me a dollar," said he as the last game went against him.

"It seems to me that we are only where we were before," said the chief engineer, in a low voice. "We won't be there much longer," remarked Jim, with determination; "follow your leader, and look out for the dog; he bites." This time James Darlington took a new tack, crawling along in the opposite direction from the big gate and keeping well hidden.
After wishing him a Happy New Year, I said, "This is the last New Year's Day I shall ever spend in Darlington; I shall leave the Northern Echo this year." My friend looked at me in some amazement, and said, "And where are you going to?"
Darlington," exclaimed all. Meanwhile the object of the conversation sate in a state of maudlin insensibility, turning her head, first on one side, and then on the other; and nodding to all the disputants, as if agreeing with each.
