Both Sweater and Ammenegg were to speak at two other meetings that night and were not expected at Windley until about eight-thirty, so to keep the ball rolling till they arrived, several other gentlemen, including Rushton who presided and Didlum, and one of the five pounds a week orators, addressed the meeting.
As Didlum finished reading out the words, the lady at the harmonium struck up the tune of the hymns, and the disciples all joined in the singing: 'Oh, come and join this 'oly band and hon to glory go. During the singing certain of the disciples went about amongst the crowd distributing tracts.
'Certainly: the moon is a very simler body to the earth, explained Didlum, describing an aerial circle with a wave of his hand. They moves through the air together, but the earth is always nearest to the sun and consequently once a fortnight the shadder of the earth falls on the moon and darkens it so that it's invisible to the naked eye.
Pull down the works and build fresh, and buy some new machinery? And then most likely not make a do of it after all? Not for me, old chap! I've 'ad enough. You won't catch me chuckin' good money after bad in that way. 'Nor me neither, said Rushton. 'Dead orf! remarked Didlum, very decidedly. Sweater laughed quietly. 'I'm not such a fool as to suggest anything of that sort, he said.
Rushton, Didlum and Grinder fairly gasped for breath: the audacity of the chief's proposal nearly paralysed them. 'I'm afraid we should never git away with it, ejaculated Didlum, as soon as he could speak. 'When the people tumbled to it, there'd be no hend of a row. 'PEOPLE! ROW! replied Sweater, scornfully. 'The majority of the people will never know anything about it! Listen to me
Ltd by the town, was to be proposed. In addition to these matters, several other items, including a proposal by Mr Didlum for an important reform in the matter of conducting the meetings of the Council, formed subjects for animated conversation between the brigands and their host. During this discussion other luminaries arrived, including several ladies and the Rev.
Councillor Didlum, who was received with loud cheers, said that unfortunately a certain member of that Council seemed to think he had a right to oppose nearly everything that was brought forward.
It was an informal affair, and while they were waiting for the other luminaries, the early arrivals, Messrs Rushton, Didlum and Grinder, Mr Oyley Sweater, the Borough Surveyor, Mr Wireman, the electrical engineer who had been engaged as an 'expert' to examine and report on the Electric Light Works, and two or three other gentlemen all members of the Band took advantage of the opportunity to discuss a number of things they were mutually interested in, which were to be dealt with at the meeting of the Town Council the next day.
Once or twice he asked Mary if she did not want to sell the clock the one that her late husband had made for his mother, but Mary shrank from the thought of selling this, until at last there was nothing else left that Didlum would buy, and one week, when Mary was too ill to do any needlework it had to go. He gave them ten shillings for it.
I was never so surprised in me life: you can see it quite plain, and it's round! 'Round? said Didlum with a puzzled look. 'Round? Of course it's round! You didn't used to think it was square, did yer? 'No, of course not, but I always used to think it was flat like a plate, but it's round like a football.
