We were taken prisoners by a sally from the nursery. For once in your life, you were in disgrace! 'I quite thought I ought to mind Jem, said Mary, 'and never knew whether it was play or earnest. 'Only so could you transgress, said Louis, 'you who never cried, except as my amateur Mungo Malagrowther.
I bear a heart, to stand by a friend in the worst of times." So saying, he wished Lord Glenvarloch farewell; who felt as heartily rejoiced at his departure, though it may be a bold word, as any person who had ever undergone his society. But, when left to his own reflections, Nigel could not help feeling solitude nearly as irksome as the company of Sir Mungo Malagrowther.
Dined with the Banking Club of Scotland, in virtue of Sir Malachi Malagrowther; splendid entertainment, of course. Sir John Hay in the chair. March 8. Spent the morning in reading proofs and additions to Magnum.
But this is not an advantage to me, but to them who keep the books, and therefore I cannot be moved by it. It is the great advantage of uniformity, of which Malachi Malagrowther tells so much. I do not fear that Mr. Cadell will neglect the concern because he has not the large share in it which he had in the other. He is, I think, too honest a man.
"With old Sir Mungo Malagrowther," said the oracular dame, "he was trimmed in my Benjamin's shop in his way to the city." "Pshaw! the frightful old mouldy skeleton!" said the damsel. "Indeed you say true, my dear," replied the confidant, "it is a shame to him to be out of Saint Pancras's charnel-house, for I know no other place he is fit for, the foul-mouthed old railer. He said to my husband "
But we have attained this huge larder of flesh, fowl, and fish. I marvel the oaken boards groan not under it." They had indeed arrived in the dining-parlour of the mansion, where the table was superabundantly loaded, and where the number of attendants, to a certain extent, vindicated the sarcasms of the young nobleman. The chaplain, and Sir Mungo Malagrowther, were of the party.
And the picture of Whitefriars, though it is borrowed to a great extent, and rather anticipated in point of time, from Shadwell's Squire of Alsatia, sixty or seventy years after date, is of the finest, whilst Sir Mungo Malagrowther all but deserves the same description. But this most cantankerous knight is not touched off with the completeness of Dalgetty, or even of Claud Halcro.
When the tide is making, and the ancient gate is beheld from within the buildings, it used to be a most striking part of the old fortress; but it is now much injured in appearance, being half built up with masonry to support a steam- engine, or something of that sort. This execution, which so captivated the imagination of Sir Mungo Malagrowther, was really a striking one.
Upon another occasion, when this type of Sir Mungo Malagrowther happened to hear a nobleman, the high chief of one of those Border clans who were accused of paying very little attention in ancient times to the distinctions of Meum and Tuum, addressing a gentleman of the same name, as if conjecturing there should be some relationship between them, he volunteered to ascertain the nature of the connexion by saying, that the "chief's ancestors had stolen the cows, and the other gentleman's ancestors had killed them," fame ascribing the origin of the latter family to a butcher.
Upon his arrival at the eating-house, where he proposed to meet with Sir Mungo Malagrowther, from whom, in despair of better advice, he trusted to receive some information as to the best mode of introducing himself into the royal presence, Lord Glenvarloch found, in the host with whom he communed, the consequential taciturnity of an Englishman well to pass in the world.
