Johnson and Millar. When Dr. Johnson had completed his Dictionary, which had quite exhausted the patience of Mr. Andrew Millar, his bookseller, the latter acknowledged the receipt of the last sheet in the following note: "Andrew Millar sends his compliments to Mr. Samuel Johnson, with the money for the last sheet of the copy of the Dictionary, and thanks God he has done with him."
It was a positive relief when Dr. Millar came in one day and announced that he had a piece of good news for the family, by far the best where the Careys were concerned that he had heard for many a day. Cyril had got an appointment at last; he had been offered the command of the mounted police at Deweshurst. "A policeman. Oh! what a downfall," cried Mrs. Millar and Dora.
Millar is an old man, even if he could hope to pay up the bank's calls and make some provision for his widow and daughters. It was a pity poor Dora could not care for me, when there need have been no partings where we two were concerned, save that material separation of death which is quoted in the marriage service.
I was not in earnest," Annie made the penitent amendment. "You are right to make the best of things," said Mrs. Millar, giving a little shivering sigh on her own account. "It is the will of Providence. We are in God's hands, poor Mr. Carey and all of us, as we were a year ago twenty years ago when you two were babies."
Rose gave a startled glance towards the porch where they were all sitting so quietly. "It was to bring us news of Will, wasn't it? And to see Merleville?" said she. Did she say it? Or had she only thought of it? She was not sure, a minute after, for Mr Millar went on as if he had heard nothing. "I came to ask you to be my wife."
LONDON: Printed for A. MILLAR, in the Strand: MDCCLVIII. Charles Lucas of Dublin. This Lucas was the patriot who created such a stir in Irish politics between the years 1743 and 1750. Lord Townshend, in a letter to the Marquis of Granby, called him "the Wilkes of Ireland." As an author he seems to have been very prolific, though of no polish in his writings.
However, she might ask one or two other people whom she ought to have asked before, "and have it over," as she said. So she smiled sweetly, and said, "Pray do, Mr Millar. We shall expect you with the rest." Charlie would be delighted, and said so. "But the flute," added he to Rose. "Well, for that agreeable fiction your brother is responsible. And a family party will be indeed charming."
"I cannot imagine how he can content himself there, after the active life he lived on this side of the water; he will degenerate into an old fogey, vegetating there," said Harry. "But I think you are hard on yourself, Mr Millar, calling it selfishness in you to wish your brother to be near you," said Graeme, smiling. "I could find a much nicer name for it than that."
"And so do I," said Laura Everett. "And so do I," said Annie Millar. "And I also," exclaimed Agnes Sparkes. But Phyllis Flower and Lucy Merriman were silent. "Phyllis, what is your opinion?" said Rosamund suddenly. "Don't hesitate now.
Samuel Millar, as well as by many others, to become a Liveryman of the city, the expenses attending which, I was always told, should be discharged for me as soon as I would give my assent. At length I agreed to the proposal, solely with a view to endeavour to counteract the tricks and intrigues of the Whig or Waithmanite faction in the city, when assembled in Common Hall.
