Not the waves without but the engine within it is which gives the shock and tremor to the crazy steamer, forcing it to cut through the waves and scatter them to spray; and so did Martin Tinman make light of the external attack of the card of VAN DIEMEN SMITH, and its pencilled line: "An old chum of yours, eh, matey?
"I 'm afraid I can't sign the treaty," said Fellingham. "Here's more," said Van Diemen. "I'm a chilly man myself if I hear a laugh and think I know the aim of it. I'll meet what you like except scorn. I can't stand contempt. So I feel for another. And now you know." "It puts a stopper on the play of fancy, and checks the throwing off of steam," Fellingham remonstrated.
And Fellingham was just a trifle warmed. Now mark what events will do to light the fires. Van Diemen and Tinman, old chums re-united, and both successful in life, had nevertheless, as Mrs. Crickledon said, their differences. They commenced with an opposition to Tinman's views regarding the expenditure of town moneys.
"What right has he got to go to Court?" Mr. Van Diemen Smith inquired, like the foreigner he had become through exile. "Mr. Tinman's bailiff of the town," said Crickledon. "And what was his objection to that glass I smashed?" "He's rather an irritable gentleman," Crickledon murmured, and turned to Crummins. Crummins growled: "He said it was misty, and gave him a twist."
"If you say much more, my hearty, you'll find me bidding against you next week for Marine Parade and Belle Vue Terrace. I've a cute eye for property, and this town's looking up." "You look about you before you speculate in land and house property here," retorted Tinman. Van Diemen bore so much from him that he asked himself whether he could be an Englishman.
Cavely, and old Mart, and me as big a fool if I'm not a villain!" Fellingham perceived a more than common effect of Tin man's wine. He touched Van Diemen on the shoulder. "May I beg to hear exactly what has happened?" "Upon my soul, we're all going to live comfortably in Old England, and no more quarreling and decamping," was the stupid rejoinder.
"Except that I did n't exactly I think you said I exactly'? I did n't bargain for old Mart as my but he's a sound man; Mart's my junior; he's rich. He's eco ... he's eco... you know my Lord! where's my brains? but he's upright 'nomical!" "An economical man," said Fellingham, with sedate impatience. "My dear sir, I'm heartily obliged to you for your assistance," returned Van Diemen. "Here she is."
Annette, in pity of his bewilderment, would have had her father take him into their confidence. She suggested it covertly, and next she spoke of it to him as a prudent measure, seeing that Mr. Fellingham might find out his exact degree of liability. Van Diemen shouted; he betrayed himself in his weakness as she could not have imagined him.
"Philip! my best friend!" "Pooh, you're a poor creature. Come along and breakfast at Elba, and you can sleep at the Crouch, and goodnight to you. Crickledon," he called to the houseless couple, "you stop at Elba till I build you a shop." With these words, Van Diemen led the way, walking alone. Herbert was compelled to walk with Tinman.
In this exposed situation the wind, whose pranks are endless when it is once up, seized and blew Martin Tinman's dressing-gown wide as two violently flapping wings on each side of him, and finally over his head. Van Diemen turned a pair of stupefied flat eyes on Herbert, who cast a sly look at the ladies. Tinman had sprung down.
