"Please, sir," said Mr Grinder, appearing suddenly at the door, in a costume which was remarkable for its splendour and the badness of its fit for Grinder's was a figure that no ordinary tailor could understand, "Captain Daniel Boyns is at the door." "Send him in," said Webster. "He won't come, sir; he's afraid of being late for the train." "Well, well," said Webster, with a laugh, "come along.
He inherited all the versatility of his compatriots, all their swift impetuosity, and something of their want of dexterity in expression. His father was one of the bravest, most upright, most patient, most sensible of men. Diderot never ceased to regret that the old man's portrait had not been taken with his apron on, his spectacles pushed up, and a hand on the grinder's wheel.
It was noon of the 4th before the trains overtook us, and I then ordered an issue of rations to lighten them, and we started again, with a citizen for a guide. We followed the Perryville road seven miles to the headwaters of Grinder's Creek, a tributary of Buffalo River, and down the creek three miles, the road being a mere track in its bed.
Let the men do their best for their masters, and the masters do their best for their men, and they would find that that was the true solution of the social problem, and not the silly nonsense that was talked by people what went about with red flags. Loud cheers greeted the termination of his speech, but it was obvious from some of the men's faces that they resented Grinder's remarks.
One place of the kind was particularly charming.

Below the wheel, and at one side, was the master-grinder's cottage, covered with creepers.
This was a little, lean, and fiery man, with the eyes of a dog and the face of a gipsy; whom I found one morning encamped with his wife and children and his grinder's wheel, beside the burn of Kinnaird. His children were mere whelps, they fought and bit among the fern like vermin.
The Vicar had himself been summoned to give his evidence as to having found Sam Brattle in his own garden, in company with another man with whom he had wrestled, and whom he was able to substantiate as the Grinder; and, indeed, the terrible bruise made by the Vicar's life-preserver on the Grinder's back, would be proved by evidence from Lavington.
A few days afterwards the result of the municipal election justified Brother Grinder's prognostications, for the working men voters of Dr Weakling's ward did give him the dirty kick out: but Rushton, Didlum, Grinder and several other members of the band were triumphantly returned with increased majorities. Mr Dauber, of Dauber and Botchit, had already been elected a Guardian of the Poor.
