How often in his Helmstone shop had he not heard titled ladies disdaining to talk a whit more prettily than ordinary women; and he had been a match for the subtlety of their pride he understood it. He knew well that at the hint of a proposal from him they would have spoken out in a manner very different to that of ordinary women. The lightning, only to be warded by an esquire, was in them.
"Not nature, though!" "Ah! Have you been long in England?" "Time to run to Helmstone, and on here. You've been lucky in business, I hear." "Thank you; as things go. Do you think of remaining in England?" "I've got to settle about a glass I broke last night." "Ah! I have heard of it. Yes, I fear there will have to be a settlement." "I shall pay half of the damage.
"Annette," said he, "I come requesting to converse with you in private." "If you wish it I would rather not," she answered. Tinman raised his head, as often at Helmstone when some offending shopwoman was to hear her doom. He bent to her. "I see. Before your father, then!"

He happened to be at a public ball at Helmstone in the Winter season, and who but Annette herself came whirling before him on the arm of an officer!

Tinman had been accustomed in his shop at Helmstone where heaven had blessed him with the patronage of the rich, as visibly as rays of supernal light are seen selecting from above the heads of prophets in the illustrations to cheap holy books to deal with willing workers that have no hearts.
