I have power to turn you out to-morrow." "But you won't!" "If you use that tone with me, my man, I certainly will. If you take your receipt and clear out, I may relent so far as to give you a short grace." When Nicky-Nan had taken his leave, Mr Pamphlett picked up the spade guinea and considered it curiously. It had a beautifully sharp impression, and might have been minted yesterday.
"I hope you'll bear that in mind, though I say nothing against the child's sinfulness." "You're the best friends, all three, I ever met in this world," said Nicky-Nan gratefully. On his homeward road, and half-way up the hill, Mr Pamphlett at the same moment turned, looked aloft, and accused Providence.
"This represents a considerable sum of money," said Mr Pamphlett, conning the paper, and with a note, which he could not suppress, of elation in his voice. "Ay; does it not?" said Nicky-Nan scornfully. "Well, I leave 'ee at home, to prove how honest you can contrive to be with it.
"It does 'em good, too, to take a rest now an' then, an' smoke a pipe, an' praise the Lord that made 'em Englishmen." Mr Pamphlett detested Un' Benny's conversation. It always struck him as significantly meaningless. Again he addressed himself to the other men. "What Rowett says about the fish is true enough, I dare say. When they hear all this noise "
Suspicion, fear, wild anger wove dances in his brain witch-dances immingled with cursings upon the heads of Pamphlett and Policeman Rat-it-all. . . . Of a sudden he sat up and stiffened with a new fright. "By the manner of her conversation, that woman was makin' love to me!"
To which end," pursued Mr Pamphlett, in the weighty periods of the "leading article" from which he had gathered this information, "it appears to us I mean, to me that our agricultural friends would be well advised, at this juncture, in considering the advisability, as well as the feasibility, of restoring a quantity of their pasture-land to an arable condition, and cultivating it as such.
Intolerable exposure! He must hide it. . . . He must count it, and then having staved off Pamphlett hide it tomorrow with all speed and cunning. When would the dawn come? The sun, in the longitude of Polpier, was actually due to rise a few minutes before five o'clock.
This would not do, in War time. Mr Pamphlett dealt with it at once Dear Sir, You are doubtless aware that the outbreak of a European War compels the Banking Houses to look jealously after all advances, or extensions of credit, even the smallest. It is not so much a question of declining this new request on your part as of reconsidering very carefully the present position of your account.
Everyone tells me how agriculture is lookin' up." Nicky-Nan sought refuge in a falsehood. "'Tis my rent," said he, "that I've been savin' up for Pamphlett. Didn' you see him stop an' speak wi' me five minutes since? Well, that was to make an appointment an' give me the receipt. Between you an' me, I've been gettin' a bit to leeward with it lately."
Tryin' to frighten me, you are, because I'm small." "If you were a child of mine," threatened Mr Pamphlett, very red in the gills, "do you know what I'd do to you?" "No," replied 'Beida; "I can't think. . . . But I reckon 'twould be something pretty mean. Oh, I'm sick an' tired of the gentry! if you call yourself gentry. First of all you turn Father an' Mother out to find a new home.
