This year, however, when Acton went, as usual, to the library to formally ask permission that the celebration should take place, he met with a terrible rebuff. "No, Acton," answered Mr. Welsby; "as long as the school continues to be disgraced by these repeated thefts as, for example, this recent instance of Morris's watch and chain I do not feel inclined to allow the same privileges as before.
At the moment you are attacked, weigh anchor, fight your way to the mouth of the canal, take up a position in the bay in front of Morris's within easy rifle range and out of pistol shot, and compel the place to surrender on your own terms!"
His muse has followed the epicurean maxim, and chosen the shadowy path, fallentis semita vitae, where the dew lies longest on the grass, and the red rowan berries droop in autumn above the yellow St. John's wort. But you will find her all the fresher for her country ways. My knowledge of Mr. William Morris's poetry begins in years so far away that they seem like reminiscences of another existence.
The sheriff walked straight up to the young man, whose teeth were chattering. "I arrest you," he said; "come on." "That's the feller," confirmed one of the guard; "I've seen him at Mr. Morris's place." "Tie him," the sheriff ordered, "while I git that gun. Give it to me, old man, or I'll take you to jail too."
I had a very fair berth over there two quid a week, but I felt I must come home at once. Fact is," he continued, looking down at his trousers, "I had no time to get my own togs together. I was so anxious, you see. That's why I'm wearing some of poor Morris's." "Are you the only relative?" Wrayson asked. "'Pon my sam, I am," the other answered with emphasis. "We hadn't a relation in the world.
Hope not. How's the water supply now? Bad time for a fire." It was the hotel. We saw that as soon as we got on to the main street. There were people all about, and a great noise and confusion, and smoke and blackness; and up above, bright tongues of flame were leaping against the sky. Jim and I kept close to Mr. Morris's heels, as he pushed his way among the crowd.
Cleggett thought possibly that the tunnel had originally led from Morris's basement to the smuggler's cave which Wilton Barnstable had spoken of, and that it had been extended later to the ship. He learned afterwards that this was true from the men who had surrendered.
"With Morris yes," Teacher answered. "He is gentle and tractable beyond words." "Well, I hope you're right," grunted Mr. O'Shea "but don't coddle them." And so the incident closed. The sleeve link was tucked, before Morris's yearning eyes, into the reluctant pocket of the wide white waistcoat, and Morris returned to his place.
Paterson is rather deficient in the graces, but he possesses every virtue that enters into the composition of an amiable character. I can hardly go out anywhere without being asked a number of questions about you. You seem to be universally known and esteemed. Mr. Morris's family are exceedingly particular in their inquiries concerning your health.
But only last week, in a bundle of documents relating to Mr Morris's own affairs, which, as his executor, it was my duty to examine, I came upon a letter which, though evidently private at the time, seems as if it ought at least to be seen by you and your ward now.
