But of the political merits of Lord Maidstone's hexameters I can speak with confidence; and it is impossible to conceive a fiercer attack, according to the measure of the power of the assailant, than that which his lordship made on Sir Robert Peel's policy.
For, if he had to pay for lodgings, were it no more than the tramps paid Tommy's grandmother, sixpence a day would not suffice for bare shelter. So he held his tongue. "Thank me by minding Mr. Maidstone's interests," returned his benefactor. "If you don't do well by him, the blame will come upon me."
Lord Maidstone declares himself a convert to the opinions of Sir Robert Peel; and Sir Robert Peel's own Solicitor General lifts up his head intrepidly, and makes a speech, apparently composed out of Lord Maidstone's hexameters.
He was once one of the most vehement Protectionists in England, and put forth a small volume, which, as I am an elector of Westminster, and as he was a candidate for Westminster, I thought it my duty to buy, in order to understand his opinions. It is entitled Free Trade Hexameters. Of the poetical merits of Lord Maidstone's hexameters I shall not presume to give an opinion.
And Maidstone's in danger, and the enemy not a mile off, and you stand SMOKING. Noel was standing crying, himself, or something very like it. 'It's quite true, Alice said. The Colonel said, 'Fiddle-de-dee. But the Cocked-Hatted Man said, 'What was the enemy like? We told him exactly. And even the Colonel then owned there might be something in it.
Profiting, doubtless, by Maidstone's own example, the fellow had, as Clare now learned, run away from his master, carrying with him the contents of the till: whether he deserved punishment more than his master, may be left undiscussed. When first Miss Tempest's friends heard of the attempt to break into her house, they said what could she expect if she took tramps into her service!
"Have you work of any sort?" "I had till yesterday, sir." "Where?" "At Mr. Maidstone's shop." "What wages had you?" "Sixpence a day." "And you lived, all three of you, on that?" "Yes; all four of us, sir." "What do you do at the shop?" "Please your worship," interposed policeman James, "he was sent about his business yesterday."
He knew at least that Clare had gone in with the others at that door; that he had not come out with them at the other door; that, therefore, in all probability, he was within that door still. The police made inquiry at Mr. Maidstone's shop. Reasons for his dismissal were there given involving no accusation: there was little desire in that quarter to have the matter searched into.
