Ay, I've set on that bin many's the time on a windy night, when miller wanted to get a lot o' grist done." "Back again," said Tom; and two more drawers were carried over. Then the framework and desk were fetched, with Mrs Fidler standing ready, dustpan and brush in hand, to remove any dirt and fluff that might be underneath.
Tom drew back while the hat and cane were deposited in their places; and then the pair entered the little dining-room, where a luncheon tray was already placed at one end of the table, but with coffee-pot and bread-and-butter just being arranged by Mrs Fidler. "Ah, that's your sort," said Sam; "but I say, old lady, I'm peckish; haven't you got anything beside this?"
"No, boy; we must have two, and begin as before. The lower one is useless now, unless I keep it for a polishing tool." "Master Tom, I'd be the last person in the world to find fault, or pick people to pieces, and I'm sure master knows that, as it's his brother, I'd do anything; but really, my dear, I don't think he's so bad as he says." "Do you think not, Mrs Fidler?" "I feel sure not, my dear.
"Yes," said Uncle Richard quietly, as he went on with his breakfast. "And though I'm not clever as a nurse, you know, sir, I'd do anything I could to make him well." "I do know it, Mrs Fidler," said Uncle Richard warmly; "but," he added, with his face growing more grave, "he will not come down here again." Mrs Fidler sighed, and Tom kept his eyes fixed upon his coffee-cup.
Clark. for this stream we know no indian name and no whiteman but ourselves was ever on it's principal branches. the river which Fidler calls the great lake river may possibly be a branch of it but if so it is but a very inconsiderable branch and may as probably empty itself into the Skeetssomish as into that river. the stream which I have heretofore called Clark's river has it's three principal sources in mountains Hood, Jefferson & the Northern side of the S. W. Mountains and is of course a short river. this river I shall in future call the To-wannahiooks river it being the name by which it is called by the Eneshur nation.
"I wonder whether uncle knows how they laugh at him behind his back." "Dinner at two, Mrs Fidler, I suppose?" said Uncle Richard just then. "Yes, sir, precisely, if you please," was the reply. "That's right. Here, Tom, let's go and see if they have smashed the glass in the packages."
At the first chop with his wood-knife would he fish for a mans heart, and fetch it out as easily as a plum from the bottome of a porredge pot. Hee would cracke neckes as fast as a cooke crackes egges: a fidler cannot turne his pin so soone, as he would turn a man of the ladder.
And all the time splash splash splash there was the faint sound of the water as Pete scooped it up, and bathed his battered face. The scene was very beautiful and attracted Tom; but there were dark shadows in his mind beckoning him away to wit, his uncle and Mrs Fidler, ready to ask him why he was in such a plight.
I wear a Sword, but not to draw on Mad-men. But since y'are so free, Sir, I demand that Fortune, which by my Father's Will y'are bound to pay the day after your Wedding-Day; my Sister's too is due. Bel. Ha, ha, ha, Sir Timothy, come hither who dost think this is? Sir Tim. A Fidler, perhaps let him play in the next Room. Bel.
"No, Mrs Fidler, there is nothing wrong here; but I'm afraid, Tom, that the visitor will put a stop to our telescopic work." Tom seized his opportunity, and blurted out "It is stopped, uncle: the speculum is broken in three pieces." "What!" cried Uncle Richard, turning pale. "Completely spoiled, uncle." "How, in the name of all that's unfortunate, did you do that, sir?"
