And he lifted the tails of his black coat in evidence. "Out of your own money?" "Yes, sir some I had laid away." St. George wheeled suddenly and stood looking first at Gadgem, then at Pawson, and last at Todd, as if for confirmation. Then a light broke in upon him one that played over his face in uncertain flashes. "And you did this for me?" he asked thoughtfully, fixing his gaze on Gadgem.
Perronet, the excellent Vicar of Shoreham, to whom both the brothers Wesley had recourse in every important crisis, and who was called by Charles Wesley 'the Archbishop of Methodism; Sir John Thorold, a pious Lincolnshire baronet; John Nelson, the worthy stonemason of Birstal, who was pressed as a soldier simply because he was a Methodist, and whose death John Wesley thus records in his Journal: 'This day died John Nelson, and left a wig and half-a-crown as much as any unmarried minister ought to leave; Sampson Stainforth, Mark Bond, and John Haine, the Methodist soldiers who infused a spirit of Methodism in the British Army; Howell Harris, the life and soul of Welsh Methodism; Thomas Olivers, the converted reprobate, who rode one hundred thousand miles on one horse in the cause of Methodism, and who was considered by John Wesley as a strong enough man to be pitted against the ablest champions of Calvinism; John Pawson, Alexander Mather and other worthy men of humble birth, it may be, and scanty acquirements, but earnest, devoted Christians would all deserve to be noticed in a professed history of Methodism.
This and the discovery of Pawson's and Gadgem's treachery had greatly incensed him. "And you tell me, Pawson, that that scoundrel, Gadgem, has Todd go down and bring him up here immediately has had the audacity to run a pawnshop for my benefit without so much as asking my leave? peddling my things? lying to me straight through?" Here the door opened and Gadgem's face peered in.
"You mustn't take him away, Harry leave Uncle George to me," not as if she demanded it more as if she was stating a fact. "Why not? He will be another man out in Brazil and he can live there like a gentleman on what he will have left so Pawson thinks." "Because I love him dearly and when he is gone I have nobody left," she answered in a hopeless tone.
Now and then Pawson, who was watching him intently, heard him strangle a rebellious sigh, as if some old memory were troubling him. His hand dropped and with a quick movement he faced his companion again. "I have been away a long time, Mr. Pawson," he said in a thoughtful tone. "For three months four now I have had no letters from anybody. It was my fault partly, but let that go.
Pawson smiled faintly, then his eyebrows lost their identity in some well-defined wrinkles in his forehead. "I have, sir, a most unpleasant thing to tell you a very unpleasant thing. When I tried this morning for a few days' grace on that last overdue payment, the agent informed me, to my great surprise, that Mr.
"That was what you were once good enough to call me the last time we met. The only change is that then I owed Pawson and that now I owe Todd," he replied, trying to repress a smile, as if the humor of the situation would overcome him if he was not careful. "Thank you very much, Talbot and I mean every word of it but I'll stay where I am, at least for the present."
George to a sense of the boy's share in the calamity and the privations he must suffer because of it. Pawson hesitated and was about to belittle the gravity of the situation when St. George stopped him. "Yes tell him tell him everything, I have no secrets from Mr. Rutter. Stop! I'll tell him.
Pawson is in his office below us, present my compliments and say that it will give me great pleasure to call upon him regarding a matter of business." "Yes, sah " " And, Todd say also that if agreeable to him, I will be there in ten minutes." Punctually at ten o'clock on the following morning the shrivelled body and anxious face of the agent was ushered by Todd into St.
There is so Pawson told me before I left my house a little money coming in from a ground rent a few months off, perhaps, but more than enough to pay Todd back he gives Jemima every cent of his wages and when this does come in and I can get out once more, I'm going to order my life so I can make a respectable showing of some kind."
