"Lor', Master Austin, wherever was you brought up?" exclaimed Lubin, in grave amazement at the youth's ignorance. "When a gentleman 'travels' in anything, it means he goes about getting orders for it.
LUBIN. Horace. SAVVY. Horace who? LUBIN. Quintus Horatius Flaccus: the noblest Roman of them all, my dear. SAVVY. Oh, if he is dead, that explains it. I have a theory that all the dead people we feel especially interested in must have been ourselves. You must be Horace's reincarnation. Barnabas: will you exchange daughters with me? I can give you your choice of two. FRANKLYN. Man proposes.
Fine old place, too, that of his." "Have you ever been inside?" asked Austin. "Lor' no, Sir," answered Lubin. "Don't know as I'm over anxious to, either. The garden's a sight, it's true but it seems there's something queer about the house. Can't make out what it can be, unless the drains are a bit out of order. But it ain't that neither. Sort o' frightening so folks say.
"You forget that I've only got one leg, so I can't swim as I used, and you've got to come and take care I don't get drowned. 'O weep for Adonais he is dead! How angry Aunt Charlotte would be. And then she'd cry, poor dear, and go into hideous mourning for her poor Austin. Come along, Lubin but wait, I must just go and get a couple of towels. Oh, I'm simply mad for the water.
Thats their notion of science. SAVVY. Steady, Nunk! Hold the fort. LUBIN. You volunteered the consultation, Doctor.
"Why, it is poor Lubin, the lackey of the Comte de Wardes he whom you took such good care of a month ago at Calais, on the road to the governor's country house!" "So it is!" said d'Artagnan; "I know him now. Do you think he would recollect you?" "My faith, monsieur, he was in such trouble that I doubt if he can have retained a very clear recollection of me."
With the recollection of Sheridan's own story fresh in our minds, we might suppose that he meant some reference to it in this incident, were it not for the exceeding niaiserie that he has thrown into the dialogue. For instance: "Osc. But we are interrupted here are two more of her lovers brothers, and rivals, but friends. "Enter NICO and LUBIN.
He has to shew them how to provide for their daughters after their deaths. Has it occurred to you, Lubin, that if you live three hundred years, your daughters will have to wait a devilish long time for their money? FRANKLYN. The money may not wait for them. Few investments flourish for three hundred years. SAVVY. And what about before your death? Suppose they didn't get married!
For instance, my aunt, who has always been the best of friends to me, is for ever worrying me to associate with people who rasp every nerve in my body, because she thinks that it would do me good. Then I rebel. I simply will not do it." "What friends have you?" asked St Aubyn quietly. "I don't think I have any," said Austin, with great simplicity. "Except Lubin.
"Thank you, Lubin!" "I'm a dismal shepherd, to be sure," answers Esmond, with a blush; "and require a nymph that can tuck my bed-clothes up, and make me water-gruel. Well, Tom Lockwood can do that. He took me out of the fire upon his shoulders, and nursed me through my illness as love will scarce ever do. Only good wages, and a hope of my clothes, and the contents of my portmanteau.
