And I'll thank you another time, Cousin Higginbotham, not to put me out when I'm speaking on matters of importance; poking your cat into my stocks! They look something like now, my stocks, don't they, Harry? I declare that the whole village seems more respectable. It is astonishing how much a little improvement adds to the to the " "Charm of the landscape," put in Miss Jemina, sentimentally.
"Yes, I'm spending part of my vacation at Professor Brierly's camp, but frankly, I'm here at the request of my city editor to cover the reunion of your group." Jimmy intercepted the swift interchange of glances between the three men, with whom he now formed an isolated group, apart from the others. Justice Higginbotham said: "You say, Mr. Hale, that you are up here to cover this reunion?" "Yes."
"I had that door painted only last week," Mr. Higginbotham half whined, half bullied; "and you know what union wages are. You should be more careful." Martin had intended to reply, but he was struck by the hopelessness of it. He gazed across the monstrous sordidness of soul to a chromo on the wall. It surprised him.
For decency's sake, compose yourself, and change the subject. We are just at the Albany. I hope that we shall not find poor Captain Higginbotham as ill as he represents himself in his letter. Ah, is it possible? No, it cannot be. Look look!" SQUIRE. "Where what where? Don't pinch so hard. Bless me, do you see a ghost?" PARSON. "There! the gentleman in black!" SQUIRE. "Gentleman in black!
His fingers trembled as he rolled a cigarette. "Say, John," Lowe began nervously, "in case any rumour gets around that the Preacher and I were a little reckless at Bylow's, you can contradict it. At least there's nothing in it as far as I am concerned. I think the Preacher must have taken some before I arrived. He showed the effects, but not much." "Hm," said Higginbotham. "You got there late?"
A grizzled, white-headed negro came to the door. He addressed Justice Higginbotham. "For you, suh. Lentone callin'." As Judge Higginbotham followed the darky through the door one of the men sprang to his feet; Jimmy later identified him as Jules Goldberg, a retired clothing manufacturer. Goldberg snapped: "What in the world are we afraid of? Are we children?
We are just now going to call on a relation of the squire's, whom you must recollect, I am sure, Captain Higginbotham Barnabas Higginbotham. He is very poorly." "And I am sure he would take it kind in you to call too," said the squire, with great good-nature. LEONARD. "Nay, sir, would not that be a great liberty?" SQUIRE. "Liberty! To ask a poor sick gentleman how he is? Nonsense.
Frank had now returned to Eton. An unexpected invitation had carried off Captain Higginbotham to pass a few weeks at Bath with a distant relation, who had lately returned from India, and who, as rich as Creesus, felt so estranged and solitary in his native isle that, when the captain "claimed kindred there," to his own amaze "he had his claims allowed;" while a very protracted sitting of parliament still delayed in London the squire's habitual visitors during the later summer; so that a chasm thus made in his society Mr.
Let us see if we can help clear it up." Justice Higginbotham told in elaborate detail what McCall had sketched briefly.
A personality of smallness and egotism and petty underhandedness seemed to emanate from the letters themselves. Bernard Higginbotham had married his sister, and he knew him well. He let himself in with a latch-key and climbed the stairs to the second floor. Here lived his brother-in-law. The grocery was below. There was a smell of stale vegetables in the air.
