They were passing along a stretch of sand, with some lights of Lowestoft in sight, arm in arm; and Hogarth said: "Well, you speak some big words. But my life, you understand, has been as simple and small as possible. I will tell you: my father sent me to an extraordinary school where he got the coin I could never find out Lancing College at Shoreham.
In the afternoon John took his bride to Lowestoft, and brought her back to all the glories of his own house on the following day. His honeymoon was short, but its influence on Ruby was beneficent. When she was alone with the man, knowing that he was her husband, and thinking something of all that he had done to win her to be his wife, she did learn to respect him.
F washed my face and hands and dressed me; and we hauled the cable out of the sea, and got it joined to the telegraph station, and on October 3rd telegraphed to Lowestoft first, and then to London. Miss Clara Volkman, a niece of Mr. Reuter's, sent the first message to Mrs. I thought a message addressed to him would not frighten you, and that he would enjoy a message through papa's cable.
Jenkin was very ill, and Jenkin, after running two miles for a doctor, knelt by her bedside during the night in a draught, not wishing to withdraw his hand from hers. Never robust, he suffered much from flying rheumatism and sciatica ever afterwards. It nearly disabled him while laying the Lowestoft to Norderney cable for Mr. Reuter, in 1866. This line was designed by Messrs.
He used to kape his greyhounds, and he had as pratty a mare as the' wuz in Lowestoft. Ah! Mr. FitzGerald was a good gennleman to him that he wuz!" Once again the epithet "good," which he so pre-eminently merited. But whether the year had been bad or good, it was necessary for the sleeping partner to look into the accounts of the firm.
Posh tells how his "guv'nor" would clap him on the back and laugh heartily over a "salwagin'" story. "You sea pirates!" he would say. "You sea pirates!" In the spring of 1866 FitzGerald stayed at 12 Marine Terrace, Lowestoft, in March and April, and passed most of his time with Posh. In the evenings he would sit and smoke a pipe, or play "all-fours."
His anxiety lest Posh should contract smallpox, and his indifference as to himself, are admirably illustrative of the man's unselfishness. But now that the partnership was at an end he began to frequent Lowestoft less. During 1871 he sold the Scandal, and on September 4th he wrote to Dr. Who bought the Scandal I do not know. Posh has no recollection, and Dr.
'You are Brooks of Sheffield. That's your name. At these words, I observed the gentleman more attentively. His laugh coming to my remembrance too, I knew him to be Mr. Quinion, whom I had gone over to Lowestoft with Mr. Murdstone to see, before it is no matter I need not recall when. 'And how do you get on, and where are you being educated, Brooks? said Mr. Quinion.
His last work, The Albigenses, in a somewhat different style, was pub. in the year of his death. Divine, s. of a Unitarian minister, was b. at Normanston, near Lowestoft, and studied at Camb., but being then a Dissenter, could not graduate. He went to London, and engaged in literary work, writing for the Westminster Review and other periodicals, and for a short time ed. the Athenæum.
The appeal must surely have moved Posh, for the pathos of the reference to his patron's loneliness could not but have its effect. But to touch on the sacred "bare" of a Lowestoft fisherman is always dangerous. There are many teetotallers among them now, and they would resent any imputation on their temperance. But those who are not teetotallers would resent it much more.
