He sat with his chin on his large dirty hands, ruminating furiously. It was quite true that Saunders had thwarted him more than once. There was old Mrs. Moulsey at the shop, when she wanted to buy those cottages in Potter's Row and there was Sam Field the higgler both of them would have borrowed from him if Saunders hadn't cooled them off.
Why ;" and then the young member stopped himself, for Herbert Fitzgerald's story was rife about London at this time. "How do you do, Moulsey?" said Herbert, very glumly, for he did not at all like being recognized. This was Lord Moulsey, the eldest son of the Earl of Hampton Court, who was now member for the River Regions, and had been one of Herbert's most intimate friends at Oxford.
"I did not exactly expect to see you here," said Lord Moulsey, drawing him apart. "And upon my soul I was never so cut up in my life as when I heard all that. Is it true?" "True! why no; it was true, but I don't think it is. That is to say upon my word I don't know. It's all unsettled Good evening to you."
Harris said he thought it was a very fine maze, so far as he was a judge; and we agreed that we would try to get George to go into it, on our way back. IT was while passing through Moulsey Lock that Harris told me about his maze experience. It took us some time to pass through, as we were the only boat, and it is a big lock.
And Mrs. Moulsey got hers from the Building Society, and Sam Field made shift to go without. And John Bolderfield was three pounds poorer that quarter than he need have been all along of Saunders. And now Saunders was talking "agen him" like this blast him! "Oh, an' then he went on," pursued Bessie with gusto, "about your bein' too ignorant to put it in the post-office.
Now, if his memory be revived for a moment, this master of science, who doubled up an opponent as if he were plucking a flower, and whose presence turned Moulsey Hurst into an Olympia, is in danger of being confounded with the last couple of drunken Irishwomen who have torn out each other's hair in handfuls in some Whitechapel courtyard.
Moulsey at 'the shop, with Dawson, with Hall the butcher. Poor old John poor old fellow! When Bolderfield reached the paling in front of the Costrells' cottage, he paused a moment, holding for support to the half-open gate and struggling for breath. 'I must keep my 'edd, I must, he was saying to himself piteously; don yer be a fool, John Borroful, don yer be a fool!
Saunders said it was a Jew's interest he was asking because there was security but he wasn't going to accept a farthing less than his shilling a pound for three months not he! So they might take it or leave it. And Mrs. Moulsey got hers from the Building Society, and Sam Field made shift to go without.
Moulsey Lock, while favorable to fish and fishermen, is unfavorable to dry land. Yet there is said to be no malaria. Hampton Court has proved a wholesome residence to every occupant save its founder. The angler's capital is Thames Ditton, and his capitol the Swan Inn. Ditton is, like many other pretty English villages, little and old.
How ready people had been to trust her in the village! How tempting it had been to brag and make a mystery! That old skinflint, Mrs. Moulsey, at "the shop," she had been all sugar and sweets then. And a few weeks later six, seven weeks later about the beginning of October, these halcyon days had all come to an end.
