Certain dark hints respecting his ways and means had worked their way from the servants' hall to my lady's chamber, and into the upper regions generally. These had been augmented by Leather's, the trusty groom's, overnight visit, in fulfilment of his engagement to sup with the servants. Nor was Mr. Leather's anger abated by the unceremonious way Mr.
Leather's fear of the want of clothing for the valuable hunter proved wholly groundless, for each groom having come with a plentiful supply for his own horse, all the inn stock was at the service of the stranger. The stable, to be sure, was not quite so good as might be desired, but it was warm and water-tight, and the corn was far from bad. Altogether, Mr.
This suit-case hasn't been in use very long see, the leather's almost unworn and those things on the dressing-table are new. And what there is here looks new, too. There's not much, you see he evidently had no intention of a long stop. An extra pair of trousers some shirts socks collars neckties slippers handkerchiefs that's about all.
"From Spencer Morris, of course. Paid a lot for it, too. Have a look at it. It's just as good as it ever was. The leather's a little bit worn at the edges, but you can fix that all right. It wouldn't cost more than half a dollar, I suppose, to put a new piece on there." "Look here," said Steve disgustedly, "you're a fakir! What do you suppose we want with a relic like that?
'There the action lies in his true nature. Yet I should hardly, perhaps, have evoked this particular corollary from that man of leather's observation, if I had not chanced one evening to come across those old book-bills of my friend Narcissus, about which I have undertaken to write here, and been struck well-nigh awe-struck by the wonderful manner in which there lay revealed in them the story of the years over which they ran.
"But for that fortunate wreck and our saving the people in her, you and I might still have been whistling in the ranks of the Great Unemployed And what sort of a situation is it, Charlie?" "You will smile, perhaps, when I tell you. It is to act as supercargo of the Walrus, which is commanded by Captain Stride himself." Young Leather's countenance fell.
They had reached the door of Shank Leather's house by that time. It was a poor-looking house, in a poor side street or blind alley of the village, the haunt of riotous children during the day-time, and of maddening cats at night. Stray dogs now and then invaded the alley, but, for the most part, it was to children and cats that the region was given over.
"Not seen much use, apparently; the leather's quite new, and the inside quite unsoiled. British manufactured brass, too, in the buckle. Shouldn't have expected that in a Persian-made article. Inscription scratched on with the point of a knife or some other implement not employed in metal engraving. May I trouble you for a pin? Thank you. Hum-m-m! Thought so.
The horse seemed to like having Sponge's red coat on better than Leather's brown, and champed his bit, and stepped away quite gaily.
'Well, sir, as you please, replied the man. 'Why, where are they? asked Sponge, seeing there was more in Leather's manner than met the eye. 'Rose and Crown! replied Leather, with an emphasis. 'Rose and Crown! exclaimed Sponge, starting in his saddle; 'Rose and Crown! Why, I'm going to stay with Mr. Romford! 'So he said. replied Leather; 'so he said.
