"Well, my Candy Rabbit is gone, and I wish I could find him, and I'm awful lonesome without him," sobbed Madeline, and she was not happy even when her mother said she or Aunt Emma would buy her another. And all the while the organ grinder's little girl had the Candy Rabbit. And that night, when the time came for Rosa to go to bed, she looked for a safe place to put the Easter toy.
This last appeared to be a very good idea to those Liberals and Tories who had not liked Grinder's observations, so they all began to shout 'Owen! 'Owen! 'Come on 'ere. Get up and make a speech! 'Be a man! and so on.
I never asked to go at once, Captain. You are not to take away my character again, because you send me off of your own accord. And you're not to stop any of my wages, Captain! His employer settled the last point by producing the tin canister and telling the Grinder's money out in full upon the table.
'Let's see, said Payne, reflectively, ''e married old Grinder's sister, didn't 'e? You know who I mean, Grinder the greengrocer. 'Yes, I believe he did, said Crass. 'It wasn't Grinder's sister, chimed in old Jack Linden. 'It was 'is niece. I know, because I remember working in their 'ouse just after they was married, about ten year ago. 'Oh yes, I remember now, said Payne.
The effect on life, health, and happiness was visible; a single glance revealed rounded shoulders and narrow chests, caused partly by the grinder's position on his horsing, a position very injurious to the organs of breathing, and partly by the two devil's dusts that filled the air; cadaverous faces, the muscles of which betrayed habitual suffering, coughs short and dry, or with a frothy expectoration peculiar to the trade.
Then all of the pack came into view, much to Jasper Grinder's horror. "They want to eat me up!" he groaned, and ran for the nearest tree, which was close to the shelter. "Oh, I must get away, somehow!" He clutched at the tree and began to climb with all possible-speed. His gun lay close at hand, but in his haste he forgot to pick it up.
However, no one took the trouble to reply to Weakling, and the Band proceeded to the consideration of the next business, which was Mr Grinder's offer on behalf of the 'Cosy Corner Refreshment Company' to take the Kiosk on the Grand Parade.
For the great part of his career the dominie had not made forty pounds a year, but he "died worth" about three hundred pounds. The moral of his life came in just as he was leaving it, for he rose from his death-bed to hide a whiskey-bottle from his wife. The children used to fling stones at Grinder Queery because he loved his mother. I never heard the Grinder's real name.
She slipped the Bunny into a large pocket in the skirt of her dress and hurried on after her father, who had walked down the street grinding out his tunes. The organ grinder's little girl did not tell her father about the Candy Rabbit until that night when they reached their home after their day's travel. With the organ man lived his brother, who was a peddler.
Neither the mother nor the younger woman knew where was to be found, at the present moment, that hero of adventure who was called the Grinder, and all the police of Wiltshire began to fear that they were about to be outwitted. "You never were at Bullhampton with your husband, I suppose?" asked Mr. Toffy. "Never," said the supposed Grinder's wife; "but what does it matter to you where I was?"
