The youngster pounced at the shilling, shook off the hand on his collar, and darted down Little College Street to Hutton's Boarding House, under the windows of which he pulled up and executed a derisive war-dance. "Hutton's, Hutton's, Put up your buttons, Hutton's are rottenly Whigs " "Mill mill! Come out and carry home your Butcher Randall! You'll be wanted when Wesley has done with him."
I admit that for a moment I thought I had been guilty of some appalling blunder and that, as the soldiers say, I was "for it" However, I saw that I must face the music as best I could, and admitted that I had not seen the paper. "Then you ought to have," was Mr. Hutton's not very reassuring reply.
He had often been at James Hutton's house, had attended services in Fetter Lane, was present at the famous Watch-Night Love-feast, and had thus learned to know the Brethren as thoroughly as Wesley himself. From first to last he held them in high esteem.
In the mean time, James Hutton's theory that continents wear away and are replaced by volcanic upheaval gained comparatively few adherents. The world had become enamoured of the rival theory of Hutton's famous contemporary, Werner of Saxony the theory which taught that "in the beginning" all the solids of the earth's present crust were dissolved in the heated waters of a universal sea.
Please give my kindest love to Mr Hutton, and Mrs Riggs and Mr Warner too, although I have never had the pleasure of knowing him personally As I listen Venicewards, I hear Mr Hutton's pen dancing over the pages of his new book It is a pleasant sound because it is full of promise How much I shall enjoy reading it!
But when Siena grew intolerable a stark, ill-provisioned place; you will look in vain for a respectable grocer or butcher; the wine leaves much to be desired; indeed, it has all the drawbacks of Florence and none of its advantages why, then we fled into Mr. Edward Hutton's Unknown Tuscany. Was this the same Siena from which we once escaped to get cool?
I determined, therefore, that I would do the proper thing, though I felt rather shy, and feared I might be looked upon as "cadging" for work. With my books under my arm I walked off to Wellington Street, on a Tuesday morning, and went up to Mr. Hutton's room, where on that day the two editors used to spend the greater part of the morning discussing the coming issue of the paper.
I am sure you would not. Yet such are all the infidels whom I have known. They talk of a subject, yet are proud to confess themselves profoundly ignorant of it. Dr. Darwin would have been ashamed to reject 'Hutton's Theory of the Earth, without having minutely examined it: yet what is it to us, how the earth was made, a thing impossible to be known.
And, Hutton, you're sure we can't disturb Lady Henry?" Hutton's expression was not wholly confident. "Her ladyship's very quick of hearing, miss. But I'll shut those doors at the foot of the back stairs, and I'll ask every one to come in quietly." "Thank you, Hutton thank you. That'll be very good of you. And, Hutton " "Yes, miss." The man paused with a large vase of white arums in his hand.
The old gentleman followed; and the crowd from Hutton's, surging past, showed him the way to Fighting-green where a knot of King's Scholars politely made room for him, perceiving that in spite of his small stature, his rusty wig and countrified brown suit, he was a person of some dignity and no little force of character.
