I flatter myself that the key-bugle plays his part to parfection, but the piece was written chiefly for the trombone and clarionet; the one being deep and crashing, the other shrill and high. I had the battle o' Waterloo in my mind w'en I wrote it." "Will that do?" said Gildart, putting half-a-crown into the man's hand.
But pray don't let the fascinating Lizzie detain you too long. Oh! you need not laugh as if you were invulnerable. I'll engage to say that you'll not come away under an hour if you go into the house without making me a solemn promise to the contrary." "Why, Gildart, it strikes me that you must be in love with your fascinating cousin from the way in which you speak."
"Perhaps," interposed Miss Flouncer, "after such bright coruscations of wit, Mr Stuart may be allowed to go on with his " "Wittles," whispered Gildart in Miss Puff's ear, to the alarm of that young lady, who, being addicted to suppressed laughter, was in horror lest she should have a fit.
He was a high-spirited fellow, and turned his back on us all when my father cast him and Emma off." "Humph!" ejaculated Gildart, "nevertheless his high spirit did not induce him to refuse the thousand pounds, it would seem." "You wrong him, Gildart; Emma knew him well, and she told me that she had placed the money in a bank in her own name, without telling him of it.
"Hush, Dan; is my father at home?" "He is, sur." "Come in, Gildart. Take care of that constable, Dan; give him his supper. There's work both for him and you to-night. He will explain it to you." Saying this Kenneth took Gildart to the drawing-room, and left him there while he went to his father's study.
Gildart felt that he could no more have taken the liberties he had ventured on in former years than he could have flown. "And what of my friend Kenneth Stuart?" said he. "He is well, poor fellow," replied Miss Puff; "but he is in unhappy circumstances just now."
"No, Captain Bingley, I have made it a rule never to give charity from impulse; I always give, when I do give " "Ahem!" coughed Gildart slightly. "When I do give," repeated Miss Flouncer, "from principle, and after a careful examination of the merits of each particular case."
Gildart Garden is named after Mr. Gildart, who was bailiff in 1712, and mayor in 1714, 1731, and 1736. Gill-street is named after Mr. Gill, who owned the land thereabouts. Harrington-street is called after the Harrington family, who once held considerable property in Liverpool. Hackin's-hey is called after John Hackin, who was a tenant of the More's of olden time.
"You are leader of this band?" "Yes, sir, I ham." "Have you any objection to earn a sovereign or two?" "No, sir, I han't." "It's a goodish band," observed Gildart. "A fus'-rater," replied the clarionet. "No doubt the trombone is a little cracked and brassy, so to speak, because of a hinfluenza as has wonted him for some weeks; but there's good stuff in 'im, sir, and plenty o' lungs.
But now I must go and search for my father. Adieu. Miss Puff au revoir." Gildart left the room with a strange sensation of emptiness in his breast. "Why, surely it cannot be that I I am in love with that girl, that stupid, fat but she's not stupid and not fat now. She's graceful and intelligent and pretty absolutely beautiful; why, botheration, I am in love or insane, perhaps both!"
