I don't mean by your honorable self, Mr. Brooke." "No, no, no that's narrow, you know. Until my butler complains to me of your goods, Mr. Mawmsey," said Mr. Brooke, soothingly, "until I hear that you send bad sugars, spices that sort of thing I shall never order him to go elsewhere." "Sir, I am your humble servant, and greatly obliged," said Mr.
But Lydgate had not been experienced enough to foresee that his new course would be even more offensive to the laity; and to Mr. Mawmsey, an important grocer in the Top Market, who, though not one of his patients, questioned him in an affable manner on the subject, he was injudicious enough to give a hasty popular explanation of his reasons, pointing out to Mr.
I was not to be turned on his finger. People often pretend to tell me things, when they might as well say, 'Mawmsey, you're a fool. But I smile at it: I humor everybody's weak place. If physic had done harm to self and family, I should have found it out by this time." The next day Mr. Gambit was told that Lydgate went about saying physic was of no use.
"I should like him to tell me how I could bear up at Fair time, if I didn't take strengthening medicine for a month beforehand. Think of what I have to provide for calling customers, my dear!" here Mrs. Mawmsey turned to an intimate female friend who sat by "a large veal pie a stuffed fillet a round of beef ham, tongue, et cetera, et cetera!
Look, ladies, at the chastity of the design I have no doubt myself that it was turned out in the last century! Four shillings, Mr. Mawmsey? four shillings." "It's not a thing I would put in my drawing-room," said Mrs. Mawmsey, audibly, for the warning of the rash husband. "I wonder at Mrs. Larcher. Every blessed child's head that fell against it would be cut in two. The edge is like a knife."
Mawmsey, a woman accustomed to be made much of as a fertile mother, generally under attendance more or less frequent from Mr. Gambit, and occasionally having attacks which required Dr. Minchin. "Does this Mr. Lydgate mean to say there is no use in taking medicine?" said Mrs. Mawmsey, who was slightly given to drawling.
Mawmsey, who had no idea of employing Lydgate, were made uneasy by his supposed declaration against drugs, it was inevitable that those who called him in should watch a little anxiously to see whether he did "use all the means he might use" in the case. Even good Mr.
He was accustomed to receive large orders from Mr. Brooke of Tipton; but then, there were many of Pinkerton's committee whose opinions had a great weight of grocery on their side. Mr. Mawmsey thinking that Mr. Brooke, as not too "clever in his intellects," was the more likely to forgive a grocer who gave a hostile vote under pressure, had become confidential in his back parlor.
"To get their own bread they must overdose the king's lieges; and that's a bad sort of treason, Mr. Mawmsey undermines the constitution in a fatal way." Mr. It was Mr. Mawmsey's friendly jocoseness in questioning him which had set the tone of Lydgate's reply.
Mawmsey that it must lower the character of practitioners, and be a constant injury to the public, if their only mode of getting paid for their work was by their making out long bills for draughts, boluses, and mixtures. "It is in that way that hard-working medical men may come to be almost as mischievous as quacks," said Lydgate, rather thoughtlessly.
