In this conjuncture of our discoursing, Mrs Pawkie, my wife, who was sitting by the fireside in her easy chair, with a cod at her head, for she had what was called a sore time o't, said: "Na, na, gudeman, ye need na be sae mim; every body kens, and I ken too, that ye're ettling at the magistracy.
You had better take her in to the fire, said the locksmith. 'Master sounds unfeeling, mim, said Miggs, in a tone of commiseration, 'but such is not his intentions, I'm sure. After what he has seen of you this day, I never will believe but that he has a deal more affection in his heart than to speak unkind. Come in and sit yourself down by the fire; there's a good dear do. Mrs Varden complied.
Go to bed directly, cried the two women together. Mr Tappertit stood upon his feet, and pushing his chair away to show that he needed no assistance, answered, swaying himself to and fro, and managing his head as if it had no connection whatever with his body: 'You spoke of Miggs, sir Miggs may be smothered! 'Oh Simmun! ejaculated that young lady in a faint voice. 'Oh mim! Oh sir!
"Ay," cried the host, "and all for nothing, no, not even a tax; who else in this kingdom can say that? Come, Mim, push round the ale."
Well, she DO look like it, that she do. Only think of that, mim! 'Is it possible, said Mr Chester in his softest tones, 'that this is Mrs Varden! I am amazed. That is not your daughter, Mrs Varden? No, no. Your sister. 'My daughter, indeed, sir, returned Mrs V., blushing with great juvenility. 'Ah, Mrs Varden! cried the visitor.
Though there an't such a great deal to laugh at now either; is there, mim? It an't so much of a catch, after looking out so sharp ever since she was a little chit, and costing such a deal in dress and show, to get a poor, common soldier, with one arm, is it, mim? He he! I wouldn't have a husband with one arm, anyways. I would have two arms.
I propose, therefore, that you bring Tabb and the baby up to the mountains and leave them either at the Baths with 'the Mim' or with me, if you cannot remain. Tell Rob, if he can, he must also come and see us. If he were here, now, he would find very pleasant company, Misses Jones, Albert, Kirkland, Burwell, Fairfax, and Wickham, all in the house, with others out of it.
Never have a Miggs about you! With this advice he kissed his blooming daughter on the cheek, and slowly repaired to Mrs Varden's room; where that lady, lying all pale and languid on her couch, was refreshing herself with a sight of her last new bonnet, which Miggs, as a means of calming her scattered spirits, displayed to the best advantage at her bedside. 'Here's master, mim, said Miggs.
When I heard this account from the giant, otherwise Pickleson, and likewise that the poor girl had beautiful long dark hair, and was often pulled down by it and beaten, I couldn't see the giant through what stood in my eyes. His master's name was Mim, a wery hoarse man, and I knew him to speak to.
Some told their feats in beggary; others, their achievements in theft; not a viand they had fed on but had its appropriate legend; even the old rabbit, which had been as tough as old rabbit can well be, had not been honestly taken from his burrow; no less a person than Mim himself had purloined it from a widow's footman who was carrying it to an old maid from her nephew the Squire.
