I made up my mind to try this, and trotting up to the dog made a few remarks about the heat of the weather. From his replies I soon perceived that he was quite a common dog, though very good-natured in manner, and he shortly told me he belonged to the green-grocer and that his name was `Bob.
The hunter is made up of a gun, of a powder horn, and of a hunting horn, etc.; and so on for the other professions. This is an amusing exercise in drawing that we have thought worthy of reproducing. Any one who is skillful with his pencil might exercise himself in imagining other compositions of the same kind. La Nature. Green-grocer. 2. Hunter. 3. Artist. 4. Cobbler. 5. Chemist 6.
If the encounter chanced in his garden, as it sometimes did the new-landed strangers going from the sea-side straight through the gorge, to hunt up the queer green-grocer reported doing business here Oberlus for a time hoed on, unmindful of all greeting, jovial or bland; as the curious stranger would turn to face him, the recluse, hoe in hand, as diligently would avert himself; bowed over, and sullenly revolving round his murphy hill.
I'm not aware that there is one in the immediate neighbourhood, and there are many respectable families about whose custom you might doubtless count on; at all events, you would be sure of ours to begin with. The sea-air would do your wife a world of good, and the sea-beach would be an agreeable and extensive playground for your children." The green-grocer stood almost aghast!
Wishing the green-grocer good-morning he asked if lodgings were to be had in that neighbourhood. "Well, yes, sir," he replied, "but I fear that you'd find most of 'em rather small for a man of your size."
There is no woman but thinks that her husband, the green-grocer, could write poetry if he had given his mind to it, or else she thinks small beer of poetry in comparison with an occupation or accomplishment purely vegetable.
I need not tell you how she had succeeded in tracing me through the green-grocer, who had seen me picked up in the yard, for that you know already. I cannot help feeling that Bob may have had something to do with my recovery, for I am sure though rough in his manners he was a well-meaning dog. If so, I am grateful to him.
Andrew Beaton had strained every nerve, but had found no trace of the missing boy. He had been to Lee, and had seen Dennett, the green-grocer, and his wife, and had satisfied himself that they were seldom sober enough to attend to anything. Poor Mrs. Penn's habit of intemperance had been strengthened by her connection with these people. Andrew gave up the Dennetts and Mrs. Penn as a hopeless set.
"Well, then," continued her father, "what, in these circumstances, says common sense?" Aileen's mouth became grave again, and her eyes very earnest as she said quickly "Pay off the green-grocer!" Mr Hazlit nodded approval. "You are right. Mr Timms' account amounts to twenty pounds. To offer twenty pounds to Mr Granby to whom I owe some eight thousand, more or less would be a poor practical joke.
"Out with it," interrupted the captain, "a man who is soft-spoken and well-mannered not a big noisy old sea-horse like me! Is that what you would say?" "Just so," answered the green-grocer with an amiable nod. "What's the name of the sisters?" "Seaward." "Seaward! eh!" exclaimed the captain in surprise.
