That evening William heard his father say to his mother: "She came down to meet him at the station to-night. I'm afraid his doom is sealed. He's no power of resistance, and she's got her eye on him." "Who's got her eye on him?" said William with interest. "Be quiet!" said his father with the brusqueness of the male parent. But William began to see how things stood. And William liked Mr. Lambkin.
"My drudge, From-thy-work-do-not-budge: my child Wild, thy child Wild; my man Cham, thy man Cham; I to Walpe, thou to Walpe; so, so, together we'll go." 141 The Lambkin and the Little Fish THERE were once a little brother and a little sister, who loved each other with all their hearts.
Then the oldest son-in-law began: "I will make a start with my verse. Here it is: "In the sky the phenix proudly flies, On the earth the lambkin tamely lies, At the table through an ancient book I wade, In the room I softly call the maid."
"'Tis better thou shouldst think of something else beside my Lord Cedric, for instance, his great demesne, Crandlemar Castle, the most beautiful of his several seats; the splendid horses and equipages; and, thyself, Lambkin, think of thyself bedecked in gorgeous hued brocades; be-furbelowed in rare lace and costly furs.
I arrived this mornin', in the steamer , straight from Aspinwall, with this old scarecrow suit on, jest as you see me now. I was intendin' to take the railroad for Tioga County, and play off a leetle surprise on Gusty, and her relations up there. But, before goin', it 'curred to me to call on a Mr. Lambkin, who was raised in Tioga, and keeps a grocery store in the lower part of Washington street.
On your birthday somehow she's in love with you yet, Penn Lord, how does a man do that? for breakfast she was to show you the magazine within whose fold is to be found her first literary lambkin; for luncheon for you were to spend the day at home she was going to give you the check! Generous little beggar, Nell!
"All right, Mrs. Jarley's!" he called, then turned and fled. William met Mr. Lambkin on his way to the station the next morning. Mr. Lambkin looked thinner and there were lines of worry on his face. "I'm sorry she sent you away, William," he said. "It must have been interesting to watch most interesting to watch.
He went to the hearth, pulled out a burning stick and wanted to burn the little ugly sheep so as only to have pretty white ones. The lambkin caught fire and just as the flame had begun to burn the wooden skeleton of the toy a draught from the window blew the flame towards the other little sheep and in a minute they were all burned to ashes.
One citizen alone was brought to me in a sort of escort of honor by Corporal Prince Lambkin, one of the color-guard, and one of our ablest men, the same who had once made a speech in camp, reminding his hearers that they had lived under the American flag for eighteen hundred and sixty-two years, and ought to live and die under it.
Then how will the tongue of the pretty lambkin bleat out innocence, and virtue, and honesty, till the whole trial be at an end! You're a wicked woman, that's certain, said I; and if you thought any thing of another world, could not talk thus. But no wonder! It shews what hands I'm got into!
