I reckon they had sent Mary out in the candle-box as a orphan instead o' havin' a father. Terrible awkward! Then, when he'd drinked up the money, the man come again in his usuals an' he kept hammerin' on and hammerin' on about his duty to his pore dear wife, an' what he'd do for his dear daughter in Lunnon, till the tears runned down his two dirty cheeks an' he come away with more money.
But as to what Tom could 'a dun with the carpus, I'm allus heer'd that you may dew anythink with any-think, if you on'y send it carriage-paid to Lunnon, I left the house in anger and disgust. No tidings could I get of Winifred in Raxton or Graylingham. By this time I was thoroughly worn out, and obliged to go home. My anxiety had become nearly insupportable.
Feeling in the depth of a capacious pocket he drew out a handful of silver and counted it over carefully. "'Ere y'are!" he said, handing it all over with the exception of one half-crown "Ye'll want all yer change in Lunnon an' more. I'm takin' two bob an' sixpence if ye thinks it too much, say so!"
There can be no doubt that Gowran purposely slurred the word so that his mistress should not understand him. "Seddles don't come for nowt, my leddie, though it be Ayrshire." "I don't understand what it is that you say, Andy." "A seddle, my leddie," said he, shouting the word at her at the top of his voice, "and a briddle. I suppose as your leddyship's cousin don't ride bare-back up in Lunnon?"
In 1847, however, he was restored to his honours by her Majesty the Queen; and in 1854 he was made a Rear Admiral of England. "I were summat ruff afore I went to Lunnon," said John Cassell. He had called to see his friend Thomas Whittaker, who was staying at Nottingham, and John was announced as "the Manchester carpenter".
'And I'm off to London i' t' morning, added he, a little wistfully, almost as if beseeching her to show or express some sorrow at a journey, the very destination of which showed that he would be absent for some time. 'To Lunnon! said she, with some surprise. 'Yo're niver thinking o' going to live theere, for sure!
"I'll lay you marked a fair sight of the villains." "There was only one man," Mr. John answered briefly. "Only one?" the other repeated in great surprise. "For the Lord's sake, Mr. John only one? Why, there ain't any one man between here and Lunnon town could stand up to you, sir, in a fair tussle." "Well, he did," Mr. John answered.
Ye may meet wi' rough customers on the Border, or in the Midland, afore ye get to Lunnon.
'Ay, surely, for he be the owner of the whole property hereabout. But 'tis not money will give comfort; he have had a deal o' trouble. I mind when his father turned him out o' doors for his painting and sich-like persoots. And he went to Italy, and there he taught hisself to be a hartist, and painted and carved a lot o' stone figures, and folks say he made a name for hisself in Lunnon.
The time was long and dreary, and it would have been still worse had I known that you were unhappy." "'Tweer wisht days for me, Mister Jan. I be such a poor lass in brains, an' I could awnly think of trouble 'cause I loved 'e so true. 'Tedn' like the same plaace when you'm away. Then I thot you'd gone right back to Lunnon, an' I judged my heart 'ud break for 'e, I did."
