I looked for a shop, I found one in Myddleton Street. There wasn't a customer near it, but by the way the man was shouting you might have thought that he was doing all the trade of Clerkenwell. I took the goose out of the parcel and laid it on the shelf before him. "'What's this? he asked. "'It's a goose, I said. 'You can have it cheap. "He just seized the thing by the neck and flung it at me.
It was truly the dinner of a country gentleman. Two tables were filled with company, not inelegant. After dinner, the talk was of preserving the Welsh language. I offered them a scheme. Poor Evan Evans was mentioned, as incorrigibly addicted to strong drink. Worthington was commended. Myddleton is the only man, who, in Wales, has talked to me of literature. I wish he were truly zealous.
Meantime, the work has well-nigh beggared Sir Hugh Myddleton, and he is likely to obtain little recompense beyond what the consciousness of his own beneficent act will afford him." "But will not the King requite him?" Jocelyn asked. "The King has requited him with a title," Dick returned. "A title, however, which may be purchased at a less price than good Sir Hugh has paid for it, now-a-days.
Even while he was apologising for them I retired to the smoking-room, where I found the cigarettes so badly rolled that they would not keep alight. After a little I remembered that I wanted to see Myddleton Finch about an improved saddle of which a friend of his has the patent.
"If I did swear " he was beginning, but I went on: "The version which reached me was that you swore at him, and he repeated the word. I heard he was to be dismissed and you reprimanded." "Who told you that?" asked Myddleton Finch, who is a timid man. "I forget; it is club talk," I replied lightly. "But of course the committee will take your word.
My friend had provided me something as remote from Massachusetts as South Carolina in colonial interest, and we were presently speeding to New River, which Sir Hugh Myddleton taught to flow through the meadows of Stoke Newington to all the streets of London, and so originated her modern water-supply.
Myddleton Finch knew I swore," he insisted. "A gentleman," I replied, stiffly, "cannot remember for twenty-four hours what a waiter has said to him." "No, sir, but " To stop him I had to say: "And, ah, William, your wife is a little better. She has eaten the tapioca all of it." "How can you know, sir?" "By an accident." "Jenny signed to the window." "No." "Then you saw her, and went out, and "
"I fear I can do nothing for you." "Have mercy on a distracted man!" he entreated. "I'll go on my knees to Mr. Myddleton Finch." How could I but despise a fellow who would be thus abject for a pound a week? "I dare not tell her," he continued, "that I have lost my place. She would just fall back and die."
"If I did swear " he was beginning, but I went on: "The version which has reached me was that you swore at him, and he repeated the word. I heard he was to be dismissed and you reprimanded." "Who told you that?" asked Myddleton Finch, who is a timid man. "I forget; it is club talk," I replied, lightly. "But of course the committee will take your word.
He was in the newsroom, and, having questioned him about the saddle, I said: "By the way, what is this story about your swearing at one of the waiters?" "You mean about his swearing at me," Myddleton Finch replied, reddening. "I am glad that was it," I said; "for I could not believe you guilty of such bad form."
