So we said goodbye, and went on through the grey-brown streets with hardly any shops, and those only very small and common, and we got to the alley all right. It was a narrow place between high blank brown-grey walls. I think by the smell it was gasworks and tanneries. There was hardly any one there, but when we got into it we heard feet running ahead of us, and Oswald said
And Corny Kelleher himself? Mr Power asked. At the cemetery, Martin Cunningham said. I met M'Coy this morning, Mr Bloom said. He said he'd try to come. The carriage halted short. What's wrong? We're stopped. Where are we? Mr Bloom put his head out of the window. The grand canal, he said. Gasworks. Whooping cough they say it cures. Good job Milly never got it. Poor children!
"Who ever said you could, Davy Jimpny?" cried Billy. "But you wants charkle to make it with, don't yer?" "Yes, if you can't get coke," said the stowaway sadly. "Well, I aren't seen no gasworks on those here shores nowheres, and so you can't get no coke, can you?" "Course not." "Well, then, charkle it is. The whole deck's charkle, and so's the bulwarks, and the chunk end o' the bowsprit?"
Here, then, on a sandbank washed once by every high tide, but now joined to the mainland by so unromantic a feature as the gasworks, a tower begun by Dom João II., and designed, it is said, by Garcia de Resende, was finished by Dom Manoel about 1520 and dedicated to São Vicente, the patron of Lisbon. The tower is not of very great size, perhaps some forty feet square by about one hundred high.
Eastward acres of market-gardens extend right up to the premises of the Imperial Gasworks. This part of the parish is called Sands End. Somewhere about here a very ancient house, called Grove House, stood. Rocque marks it "The Grove" in 1757 and 1761.
Being young, he wrote also to the human envelope containing the essence of stale beer, tobacco and lethargy that was the stage doorkeeper. But he might just as well have written to the station master or the municipal gasworks. As a matter of fact Jane and he were as much lost to one another as if the whole of England had been primaeval forest. It was a calamity which he regarded with dismay.
For his part he thought conserves were pickles, and he hoped all the Tories would soon find themselves in a pretty pickle. There were such shouts of laughter that I saw this was a great joke. We had gasworks in Melrose when I was 10 or 11, and a great joy to us children the wonderful light was. I recollect the first lucifer matches, and the wonder of them.
But the gasworks were never forgotten, and when Lady Brandon mentioned, as a piece of delightful news, that she had found out their old school companion, and had asked her to join them, Gertrude was not quite pleased. Yet, when they met, her eyes were the only wet ones there, for she was the least happy of the three, and, though she did not know it, her spirit was somewhat broken.
"Ah," said Bland, "and the ordinary inhabitants of the city ?" "They're in bed," said Bob, "and we've all agreed that they'd better stay there. Nobody wants a riot." "Thanks," said Bland. "If I can get my wire through I'll let the world know the exact position of affairs." "If you are wiring," said Bob, "you might like to mention that there was jolly nearly being a fight at the gasworks.
When the war deprived the Southern cities of a supply of coal for their gasworks, many of them found cotton seed a very good substitute. Oil can be extracted from it in large quantities. For several years, the Cotton-Seed Oil Works of Memphis carried on an extensive business. Notwithstanding the many uses to which cotton-seed can be applied, its great abundance makes it of little value.
