"And, ma'am," he continued, "the laundress tells me some of the girls have two clean tuckers in the week: it is too much; the rules limit them to one." "I think I can explain that circumstance, sir. Agnes and Catherine Johnstone were invited to take tea with some friends at Lowton last Thursday, and I gave them leave to put on clean tuckers for the occasion." Mr. Brocklehurst nodded.
Brocklehurst and his family never came near Lowood now: household matters were not scrutinised into; the cross housekeeper was gone, driven away by the fear of infection; her successor, who had been matron at the Lowton Dispensary, unused to the ways of her new abode, provided with comparative liberality.
Ringwood, Lord Cinqbar's brother, you know. He'll have a good place, I bet any money; and Bob Suckling, who's always with him a high fellow too. Ha! ha!" Here Lowton burst into a laugh. "What is it?" said Pen, still amused. "I say, I like to mess with those chaps," Lowton said, winking his eye knowingly, and pouring out his glass of wine. "And why?" asked Pen.
You see that handsome chap with the blue neck-cloth, and pink shirt, and yellow waistcoat, that's another; that's Molloy Maloney of Ballymaloney, and nephew to Major-General Sir Hector O'Dowd, he, he," Lowton said, trying to imitate the Hibernian accent. "He's always bragging about his uncle; and came into Hall in silver-striped trousers the day he had been presented.
The parties are arranged in messes of four, each of which quartets has its piece of beef or leg of mutton, its sufficient apple-pie and its bottle of wine. "Wait a bit," said Mr. Lowton, one of these Temple gourmands. "Wait a bit," said Mr.
"I thought of going home to dress, and hear Grisi in Norma," Pen said. "Are you going to meet anybody there?" he asked. Pen said, "No only to hear the music," of which he was fond. "You had much better come home and smoke a pipe with me," said Warrington, "a very short one. Come, I live close by in Lamb Court, and we'll talk over Boniface and old times." They went away; Lowton sighed after them.
I had not a very large wardrobe, though it was adequate to my wants; and the last day sufficed to pack my trunk, the same I had brought with me eight years ago from Gateshead. The box was corded, the card nailed on. In half-an-hour the carrier was to call for it to take it to Lowton, whither I myself was to repair at an early hour the next morning to meet the coach.
It is good to win glory for your country; it is also good to win glory for your village. A Member of Parliament, Sir George Lowton, notes this emphatically, from the statesman's eminence, to a group of gentlemen on horseback round a carriage wherein a couple of fair ladies reclined. 'They didn't shout more at the news of the Battle of Waterloo.
"You have a sharp tongue, I find. Courtesy is thrown away upon you. What, ho! lads Kenyon and Lowton, take the lady down to the vaults, and there let her have an hour for solitary reflection. She may change her mind in that time." "Do not think it," cried Mistress Nutter, resolutely. "If you continue obstinate, we will find means to move you," rejoined Demdike, in a taunting tone.
The weather prophets said it was the equinoctial, although it was ten days too early if the almanac was right; and every one predicted a storm, a northeaster that would set all the streams boiling, and probably carry away all the bridges between Lowton and the Summit. But little for northeasters cared Leon and Sam Bearer, as they settled themselves cosily inside.
