There is mentioned the case of a young woman who cut off her right hand and cast it into the fire, and attempted to enucleate her eyes, and also to hold her remaining hand in the fire. Haslam reports the history of a female who mutilated herself by grinding glass between her teeth.
Haslam, who sympathised with the movement, permitted them to meet in the school they had built in Parker-street. The course pursued by the secessionists was approved of by some United Methodists at Cuerden Green, where the Orchard brethren had a small chapel, and they left the parent body when the separation already mentioned took place.
Probably because he wanted to put his affairs in order before putting an end to his life." She spoke in all seriousness. Doctor Haslam succeeded with difficulty in restraining a smile. "You don't imagine for a moment," he said, "that the young man intended keeping his oath." "Don't I? You should have seen the look on his face when he spoke it." "Well?"
With my consent he opened it and read, "Dear old Haslam, you have done more good in that part of my parish where you are working, in a few weeks, than I have done for years. I enclose you a cheque for the amount of tithes coming from there. The Lord bless you more and more! Pray for me!" It was a cheque for thirty-seven pounds.
But on arriving, his successor, a man named Johnson Richardson, was unable or indisposed to go on with the mail . It happened that Division Superintendent W. C. Marley was at Bucklands when Haslam arrived, and, since Richardson would not go on duty, Marley offered "Pony Bob" fifty dollars bonus if he would take up the route.
HASLAM. About our being able to live three hundred years? Frankly no. SAVVY. Oh, I don't know. I thought I was for a moment. I can believe, in a sort of way, that people might live for three hundred years. But when you came down to tin tacks, and said that the parlor maid might, then I saw how absurd it was. FRANKLYN. Just so. We had better hold our tongues about it, Con.
Haslam, behind the pillar at the entrance to the theatre, overheard Appleton's direction to the driver. It was: "To the Grand Opera House. Hurry! The opera will soon be over." The cab rumbled away. "It's well we heard his order," observed Haslam to Amy. "We couldn't have hoped to keep up with a cab. He'll probably wait at the Grand Opera House till we get there."
However, he came down to dinner, and it was not long before he roused the anger and contempt of his wife and curate, by saying, "I am converted." They tried hard to laugh him out of it, and asked him which of the chapels he would join? They suggested he had better be a Bryanite; Mr. Haslam is king of the Bryanires; and so on!
Was old Archbishop Haslam, the present man's last predecessor but four, drowned or not? BURGE-LUBIN. I don't know. Look him up in the Encyclopedia Britannica. BARNABAS. Yah! Was Archbishop Stickit, who wrote Stickit on the Psalms, drowned or not? BURGE-LUBIN. Yes, mercifully. He deserved it. BARNABAS. Was President Dickenson drowned? Was General Bullyboy drowned? BURGE-LUBIN. Who is denying it?
Of course they implored Haslam to remain with them and not risk his life venturing away with the mail. But the mail must go; and the schedule, hard as it was, must be maintained. "Bob" had no conception of fear, and so he galloped away, after an hour's rest. And back into Bucklands he came unharmed, after having suffered only three and a half hours of delay.
