Every flitch, every eye- piece, and every chine is buried under the walling; and I fed them pigs with my own hands, Master Swithin, little thinking they would come to this end. Do ye collect yourself, Mr. Swithin, and come at once! 'I will, I will. I'll follow you in a moment. Do you hasten back again and assist.
How do you imagine you are going to get out of this country without my help?" "Goin' to stay and face any music that likes to play. That" said Flitch, still quietly "is what I'm going to do, mister." Bullard took to fiddling with the nugget on his chain.
Flitch was their theme; and: "Oh, but if we go tip to Willoughby hand in hand; and bob a courtesy to 'm and beg his pardon for Mister Flitch, won't he melt to such a pair of suppliants? of course he will!" Miss Middleton said he would not. Colonel De Craye wagered he would; he knew Willoughby best.
At the particular request of Julian, the landlady undertook to add a substantial dish of eggs and bacon, which perhaps she would not have undertaken for, had not the sharp eye of Peveril discovered the flitch hanging in its smoky retreat, when, as its presence could not be denied, the hostess was compelled to bring it forward as a part of her supplies.
"But not you, Miss Middleton." "I prefer to think that I am seen. I have a description of courage, Colonel De Craye, when it is forced on me." "I have not suspected the reverse. Courage wants training, as well as other fine capacities. Mine is often rusty and rheumatic." "I cannot hear of concealment or plotting." "Except, pray, to advance the cause of poor Flitch!" "He shall be excepted."
"Cousin!" he exclaimed, as if wealth had been imputed to Miss Dale; adding: "No male cousin." A railway station fly drove out of the avenue on the circle to the hall-entrance. Flitch was driver.
House-maids left the steps half-scrubbed, and helped her measure out the corn and beans, gossiping eagerly; the newsboys "Hi-d!" at her in a friendly, patronizing way; women in rusty black, with sharp, pale faces, hoisted their baskets, in which usually lay a scraggy bit of flitch, on to the wheel, their whispered bargaining ending oftenest in a low "Thank ye, Lois!" for she sold cheaper to some people than they did in the market.
This same Seden now brought me five loaves, two sausages, and a goose, which old goodwife Paal, at Loddin, had given him; also a flitch of bacon from the farmer Jack Tewert.
She designated the room as she spoke; the smoke-blackened walls, with some brilliant pictures in blue, red, and green, an "End of Credit," a Crucifixion, and the "Grenadiers of the Imperial Guard" for their sole ornament; the furniture here and there, the old wooden four-post bedstead, the table with crooked legs, a few stools, the chest that held the bread, the flitch that hung from the ceiling, a jar of salt, a stove, and on the mantleshelf a few discolored yellow plaster figures.
"I have to make out a list of things we want for my department," she said. "Last night they were nearly all women here. Don't bother about me. Mr. Flitch will put me in an omnibus at London Bridge. You must see those reporters. You've read the evening papers, haven't you?" Brooks nodded. "Yes. I knew we should have opposition. This isn't even the beginning of it. It won't hurt us."
