At noon home to dinner, W. Hewer and I and my wife, when comes my cozen, Kate Joyce, and an aunt of ours, Lettice, formerly Haynes, and now Howlett, come to town to see her friends, and also Sarah Kite, with her little boy in her armes, a very pretty little boy. The child I like very well, and could wish it my own. My wife being all unready, did not appear.
So to White Hall to the Council chamber, where I find no Council held till after the holidays. So to Westminster Hall, and there bought a pair of snuffers, and saw Mrs. Howlett after her sickness come to the Hall again. So by coach to the New Exchange and Mercer's and other places to take up bills for what I owe them, and to Mrs.
For at that moment there was a dull roar and the jarring sensation of a gun being fired overhead, making the black start and look wonderingly about him. "I say, that startled him," said Bob Howlett, who had stolen down behind his messmate, and had stood in the semi-darkness laughing at the black's astonishment. "What do you think of that, old chap? That's some of our private thunder.
I do think it may be some repute to me to have my kinsman in Commission there, specially if he behave himself to content in the country. He gone and my wife gone abroad, I out also to and fro, to see and be seen, among others to find out in Thames Streete where Betty Howlett is come to live, being married to Mrs.
Of course, I took their parts; and I said to Maitland " "Yes, what did you say to Maitland, Mr Howlett?" said the captain, who had returned unobserved. Bob's jaw dropped. He was as a rule ready enough, but he was so completely taken aback that he was now speechless. "Ah," said the captain, "your memory is so short that you cannot recollect. But try and bear this in mind, Mr Howlett.
God knows what will be the end of it! After he was gone I went and talked with Mrs. Lane about persuading her to Hawly, and think she will come on, which I wish were done, and so to Mr. Howlett and his wife, and talked about the same, and they are mightily for it, and I bid them promote it, for I think it will be for both their goods and my content.
"Very much," cried Mark, as he thought of the quaint little old man he and Bob Howlett had bought. "Very well, you can for the present." "And now, gentlemen," interposed the doctor, "my patient requires rest and cool air. You are fidgeting him and making the place hot." "That means go. Well, Staples, we must give way, I suppose. The doctor is always above the admiral.
We appointed another time to meet to talke of the business of the Navy alone seriously, and so parted, and I to White Hall, and there we did our business with the Duke of Yorke, and so parted, and walked to Westminster Hall, where I staid talking with Mrs. Michell and Howlett long and her daughter, which is become a mighty pretty woman, and thence going out of the Hall was called to by Mrs.
"She shall have him whether she likes him or not," said I, gritting my teeth determinedly; "and she won't know whether she loves him or Count Bonetti best; and she'll promise to marry both of them; and she shall go to Venice in August, despite her uncompromising refusal to do so for Harley; and she shall meet Balderstone there, and, no matter what her opinion of him or of his literary work, she shall be fascinated by the story I'll have him write, and under the spell of that fascination she shall promise to marry him also; whereupon the Willards will turn up and take her to Heidelberg, where I'll have her meet the hero she couldn't wait for at the Howlett dance, the despised Professor, and she shall promise to be his wife likewise; and finally I'll put her on board a steamer at Southampton, bound for New York, with Mrs.
"Here, Mark, old chap, the skipper wants you on the quarter-deck," said Bob Howlett some weeks later. "Wants me?" cried Mark, clapping his hand to his head. "Yes." "Why, I heard the men piped up, and everybody's there." "Yes, all of 'em. Russell's there too, and Whitney." "Whitney?"
