As I have mentioned, my land- lord was a locksmith, and he had strange machines which rumbled and whirred in the rooms below my own. Nevertheless, I slept, and I dreamed of Car- cassonne. It was better to do that than to dream of the Hotel de France. I was obliged to cultivate relations with the cuisine of this establishment.
The locksmith, while waiting for a trial, died. The boy was now being tried as a dangerous creature from whom it was necessary to protect society. "As dangerous a creature as the prisoner of yesterday," Nekhludoff thought while watching the proceedings. "They are dangerous, but are we not dangerous?
Barber, I'll go and fetch a locksmith, and I'll have a bell hung to your tail." This wig-maker had rendered him aggressive. As he strode over a gutter, he apostrophized a bearded portress who was worthy to meet Faust on the Brocken, and who had a broom in her hand. "Madam," said he, "so you are going out with your horse?" And thereupon, he spattered the polished boots of a pedestrian.
I have brooded on that subject so long, that every breath of suspicion carries me back to it. You are quite right. 'It isn't, sir, cried the locksmith with brightened eyes, and sturdy, honest voice; 'it isn't because I courted her before Rudge, and failed, that I say she was too good for him. She would have been as much too good for me.
The beggar got my watch!" Dunk started out. "Where are you going?" asked Andy. "To telephone for a locksmith. I'm going to have our door fixed. Don't laugh the old saying 'lock the stable after the horse is stolen. I know it." "Wait a minute," suggested Andy. "While you're at it hadn't you better give notice of the robbery?" "I suppose so. But what good will it do?
Some time previous to the flight of the Royal Family from Paris, the Princesse de Lamballe told me she wanted some repairs made to the locks of certain dressing and writing-desks; but she would prefer having them done at my apartments, and by a locksmith who lived at a distance from the palace.
What's the matter here! Hal-loa! The speaker who made the locksmith start as if he had been some supernatural agent was a large raven, who had perched upon the top of the easy-chair, unseen by him and Edward, and listened with a polite attention and a most extraordinary appearance of comprehending every word, to all they had said up to this point; turning his head from one to the other, as if his office were to judge between them, and it were of the very last importance that he should not lose a word.
He had often heard of Amos Sparks; the case seemed one particularly adapted to a trial of his powers, and being a desperate one, if he could not furnish a remedy, where else were there reasonable expectations of succour? A clerk was hurried off for Amos, and having explained the difficulty, speedily reappeared, followed by the locksmith with his implements in his hand.
When he sank back exhausted, we were shocked, for we thought that he would give up the ghost before we had time to comfort him and ease his last hour. 'Let us pray for him, whispered the locksmith. We knelt down; with trembling hands I pulled out the book; it opened of itself where a bookmarker had been placed at the fifteenth chapter of the Gospel of St. John.
You helped to make the lock of the great door. 'I did, said the locksmith. 'You owe me no thanks for that as you'll find before long. 'Maybe, returned his journeyman, 'but you must show us how to force it. 'Must I! 'Yes; for you know, and I don't. You must come along with us, and pick it with your own hands.
