LETTER XXVI. Mrs. Norton. In answer. LETTER XXVII. Miss Howe. In reply. LETTER XXVIII. Mrs. Harlowe's pathetic letter to Mrs. Norton. LETTER XXIX. Miss Howe to Clarissa. Fruitless issue of Mr. Hickman's application to her uncle. Advises her how to proceed with, and what to say to, Lovelace. Endeavours to account for his teasing ways.
D. I snatched her hand, and kissed it My dear Mamma, be not angry with your girl! You have told me, that you was very lively formerly. M. Formerly! Good lack! But were I to encourage his proposals, you may be sure, that for Mr. Hickman's sake, as well as your's, I should make a wise agreement. D. You have both lived to years of prudence, Madam. M. Yes, I suppose I am an old soul too.
"On the whole, then, so long as we continue to maintain our proper influence over them, I think, without doubt, we are much safer as we stand. "With respect to the discharge of your duty, your own judgment will be a better guide than mine. As I said before, avoid Hickman's errors; I fear he was too soft, credulous, and easily played upon.
Hickman, keep your distance a little longer, I beseech you. You have erected an altar to me; and I hope you will not refuse to bow to it. But you ask me, if I would treat Mr. Lovelace, were he to be in Mr. Hickman's place, as I do Mr. Hickman? Why really, my dear, I believe I should not.
Now, I am somewhat unpopular with the tenantry, and my amiable friend, Hickman, is beloved by them; but I think your lordship by this time understands the why and the wherefore on both sides. As your agent, my Lord, I should regret such popularity, at the same time, I think the intentions of poor, sweet, amiable Hickman's heart, are such as we must all love and admire.
Excess of feeling, in fact, is a bad qualification in an agent. Humanity is very well in its place; but a strong sense of duty is worth a thousand of it. It strikes me, that you would do well to put on a manner in your intercourse with the tenants, as much opposed to Hickman's as possible. Be generally angry, speak loud, swear roundly, and make them know their place.
Hickman's this morning, and they have a colored woman stopping with them. She is a very interesting and intelligent woman, and she was telling us part of her history, and it was very interesting, but, mother, I do think it is a dreadful thing to be a colored person in this country; how I should suffer if I knew that I was hated and despised for what I couldn't help.
Not looking too completely dishevelled himself, he stood there, as a girl briskly early in dress and impulse, so as not to waste the bright morning opened the door. "Yeah, Nance me," he croaked apologetically. "Ramos has reached Pluto!" "I know, Frankie!" she burst out. But his words rushed on. "I've been goofing off by Hickman's Lake. Over now.
Nacherally, Dick stops at Hickman's tavern so as to mollify his feelin's with that red-eye. This yere wag gets in ag'in on the play, subtracts the pup an' restores the little hawg a whole lot. When Dick gets to Jedge Chinn, he onfolds to the Jedge touchin' them transformations from pig to pup. 'Pshaw! says the Jedge, who's one of them pos'tive sharps that no ghost tales is goin' to shake; 'pshaw!
At the Cocoa-tree, in Pall-mall, he fell in with two of his intimates, the one named Belton, the other Mowbray; both very free of speech, and probably as free in their lives: but the waiters paid them great respect, and on Mr. Hickman's inquiry after their characters, called them men of fortune and honour.
