I will do as you say, and take it for what it is worth that is, keep my own still! You may be very sharp and clever, and all that sort of thing, my dear fellow; but I don't see the difference between the two that you have so lucidly pointed out. Satire and cynicism are co-equal terms to my mind: your argument won't persuade me, Lorton, although I must say that you are absolutely brilliant to-day.
Tulliver must not mind paying extra for drawing; let Tom be made a good draughtsman, and he would be able to turn his pencil to any purpose. So it was ordered that Tom should have drawing-lessons; and whom should Mr. Stelling have selected as a master if not Mr. Goodrich, who was considered quite at the head of his profession within a circuit of twelve miles round King's Lorton?
"Hey, humph! what is the matter, Mr Lorton?" growled old Smudge to me, as I proceeded to sign the attendance book before the fatal black line was drawn against the late comers "Look ill, look ill! hey? Late hours, late hours, young man, young man; dissipation, and all the rest of it, hey?
M'Keon, of Drumlish, in his letter to the Mansion House Committee, says: "The people must starve in summer, having paid their rents by selling their oats; their rents being rigorously exacted on the Granard and Lorton estates." The Rev.
He had rather a shrunken appearance, and was tremulous in the mornings, not from age, but from the extreme perversity of the King's Lorton boys, which nothing but gin could enable him to sustain with any firmness.
"I believe," said I, "that both Mr Horner and Mr Mawley were only introduced to Miss Clyde a short time previously to myself." Bless you, I was a child in her practised hands! Fancy my making such a blunder as to show her where the shoe pinched me! "I think, Mr Lorton," she replied, "that I am the best judge as to whom I consider my daughter's friends.
Is there not consumption in your family?" "Not that I'm aware of, Lady Dasher, thank you," I replied; "but how well you are looking, if one may judge by appearances." "Ah!" she sighed with deep sadness, "appearances, my young friend, are very deceptive. I am not well far from it, in fact. I believe, Mr Lorton, that I am fast hastening to that bourne from whence no traveller ever returns.
Their name is Clyde, and they have a good deal of money, I believe," said Bessie Dasher. "Bai-ey Je-ove!" exclaimed Horner. "I say, old fellah, p'waps they ah those ladies in hawf-mawning, ah?" "Dear me! this is quite interesting," said Miss Spight. "Do let me know what the joke is about ladies in half-mourning, Mr Lorton something romantic, I've no doubt."
I'm all right, thank you." "Ah! but yes," he retorted "you cannote deceives me. You are pallide; you take walks on feet this detestable day. Mon Dieu! votre climat c'est affreux! I knows ver wells, Meestaire Lorton, dat somesings ees ze mattaire!" "But, I'm quite well, I tell you," said I. "Quaite well en physique, bon: quaite well, here?" tapping his chest expressively the while "non!
You may say that the falling off is due to the hot weather and people going out of town, but I think it is owing to the spread of unbelief. We are living in terrible times, Mr Lorton. It seems to me that every one is becoming more atheistic and wicked every day. I don't know what we shall come to, unless we have another deluge, or something of that sort, to recall us to our senses!"
