Besides, the fact that I will have so many friends willing to invest money in this device of mine, is better than all the gold in the Rockies. The jewel-cutter is now an assured success, and it will turn out dollars like a sausage grinder turns out that toothsome breakfast meat."
As Jasper Grinder spoke he leaped from the platform and strode rapidly toward the spot where Dick was standing. The eldest Rover did not budge, but remained where he was, eying the enraged school-teacher determinedly. "Don't you dare to strike!" he said warningly, as the cane was raised over his head.
It is high time that we return to Tom and Sam, and learn how the two Rover boys were faring in their unequal contest with Dan Baxter and his followers. As we know, it was Baxter himself who attacked Sam, while big Bill Harney threw Tom to the ground. Jasper Grinder went to Baxter's assistance, while Lemuel Husty ran to aid Harney.
"You'd scent one, if an Italian organ grinder stopped in front of the house, looked up at your window, and played the Miserere." "I might give him something to eat, anyhow," snapped Bess that is, as nearly as Bess ever came to snapping, for she was so well "padded," both in mariners and by nature, that she was too much like a mental sofa cushion to hurt even the feelings of any one.
The bricklayer will throw down his trowel for a minute, the carpenter leave his bench, the corn grinder her milling stone, and the porter his load, to keep time to the inspiriting sound." Dr. Tschudi, in his fascinating work on Peru, describes two of the musical instruments used by the Indians, and their emotional function.
But Sam was not yet subdued, and getting one foot clear at last, he kicked Jasper Grinder in the ear. "Oh! oh! my ear!" screamed the former teacher. "He has kicked my ear off. You scamp, take that!" And letting out with his foot, he gave Sam a vigorous kick on the side. At the same time Baxter struck the boy in the head with a stick he had been carrying, and then Sam suddenly lost consciousness.
Get out of sight!" came in an excited whisper from Sam, and he pulled his brother down behind a clump of bushes, and then dragged the sled after him. "What do you see?" demanded Tom. "Look across the pond. As sure as you are born, there are Dan Baxter and Jasper Grinder. We've been following them instead of Dick and Mr. Barrow!" What Sam said was true.
The impetuous Mrs Brown rising directly, the tortured Grinder detained her, stammering 'Ye-es, Misses Brown, I believe he's abroad. What's she staring at? he added, in allusion to the daughter, whose eyes were fixed upon the face that now again looked out behind. 'Don't mind her, lad, said the old woman, holding him closer to prevent his turning round. 'It's her way her way. Tell me, Rob.
Garland's door. 'The daughter is certainly at home, sir, said the grinder. 'I'll go round to t'other side, and see if she's there, Master Derriman. 'I want to take her out to see the King, said Festus. Anne had started at the sound of the voice. No opportunity could have been better for carrying out her new convictions on the disposal of her hand.
As each of these articles was mentioned, Captain Cuttle took particular notice of the corresponding department of the Grinder, lest he should appear to have been in recent use, or should prove to be in present possession thereof. But Rob had no occasion to shave, was not brushed, and wore the clothes he had on for a long time past, beyond all possibility of a mistake.
