For it is as in "Sibyl." That novel showed us the peer's descendants at the workman's forge, while the manufacturer's grandchildren were wearing the ermine and the strawberry-leaves. There is the constant passing to and fro across the one border-line which never changes. Dandy Mick and Devilsdust save a little money and become "respectable." We can follow out their history after Mr.
"All right, my hearty," replied his friend, though not without some affectation of ease. "There is a good deal to go through," said Devilsdust. "It tries a man." "You don't mean that?" "But if you are firm, all's right. Now I must leave you." "No, no, Dusty," said Mick. "I must go," said Devilsdust; "and you must rest here till you are sent for.
"As long as you can give us money, I don't care, for my part, how long we stick out," said Julia. "Well," said Mrs Carey, "I didn't think there was so much spirit in the place. As Chaffing Jack was saying the other day " "There is no spirit in the place," said Devilsdust, "but we mean to infuse some. Some of our friends are going to pay you a visit to-morrow."
"Well Jack," said Devilsdust, "I suppose you have heard the news?" "If it be anything that has happened at Mowbray, especially in this quarter, I should think I had. Times must be very bad indeed that some one does not drop in to tell me anything that has happened and to ask my advice." "It's nothing to do with Mowbray."
Field the Chartist had soon discovered who were the rising spirits of Mowbray, and Devilsdust and Dandy Mick were both sworn on Monday morning of the council of the Liberator, and took their seats at the board accordingly. Devilsdust, used to public business and to the fulfilment of responsible duties, was calm and grave, but equally ready and determined.
"Then things get serious," said Chaffing Jack. "Them miners is very stubborn, and when they gets excited ayn't it a bear at play, that's all?" "Well," said Devilsdust, "what you say is well worth attention; but all the same I feel we are on the eve of a regular crisis." "No, by jingo!" said Mick, and tossing his cap into the air he snapped his fingers with delight at the anticipated amusement.
"You don't mean that?" said Julia. "Why, what's the matter?" said Caroline. "Is the Queen dead?" "No bell on Monday morning," said Mrs Carey, incredulously. "Not a single ring if all the Capitalists in Mowbray were to pull together at the same rope," said Devilsdust. "What can it be?" said Julia. "Come, Mick; Dusty is always so long telling us anything."
"We'll teach them a trick or two before they do that," urged Mick. "Where are you, Miss Harriet?" "I'm at Wiggins and Webster's, sir." "Where they clean machinery during meal-time; that won't do," said Mick. "I see one of your partners coming in," said Mick, making many signals to a person who very soon joined them. "Well, Devilsdust, how are you?"
"I should think I did; and what's more, Julia owes her a tick for herrings." "Right," said Devilsdust: "and nothing but herrings are to be seen on her board. Two years ago it was meat." "I twig," said Mick. "Wait till it's wegetables; when the people can't buy even fish. Then we will talk about strikes. That's what I call watching events." Julia, Caroline, and Harriet came up to them.
