The glass designed for Brooks was now in the pedler's own hands, and no time was permitted him for reflection. With a doubt as to whether he had not got hold of the posset meant for his neighbor, Bunce was yet unable to avoid the difficulty; and, in a moment, in good faith, the contents of the several glasses were fairly emptied by their holders.
In his boyhood he obtained a tolerable education at the grammar school of his native town; after which he determined to improve himself by study at the University of Caen, in Normandy. Whilst there he contrived to support himself unassisted by his father, carrying on a sort of small pedler's trade with "a little stock of merchandise."
Ranged about him in orderly rows was his merchandise. Tom Barnaby never bothered with fixtures and showcases. Chairs, drygoods boxes, rough shelves of his own making, and a few baskets sufficed him. In the waterproof pedler's pack which he carried on his back when his shop was in transit, he had only the smaller articles which women continually need.
"Not a Concord coach, and certainly not a hay-wagon, for they don't make hay up here in the mountains." "Well, that is a relief. I didn't know. Ellen she always says, 'Mother, you're a real fidget; but when one grows old, and has valves in the heart as I have, you never We might meet one of those big pedler's wagons, though, and they frighten horses worse than anything.
"I remembered it was your name-day, child Here are half a dozen eggs," said one of the hen wives; and the little cross woman with the pedler's tray added a waxen St.
But unexpected evidence was forthcoming. The young lady, after listening to the pedler's explanation, merely seized a moment to smooth her gown and put her curls in order, and then appeared at the tavern door, making a modest signal to be heard. "Good people," said she, "I am Mr. Higginbotham's niece."
"Yes," said Evelina, happily, "you called me, and I came." "Spinner in the Sun," said the Piper, tenderly, "have you guessed my work?" "Why, keeping the shop, isn't it?" asked Evelina, wonderingly; "the needles and thread and pins and buttons and all the little trifles that women need? A pedler's pack, set up in a house?" The Piper laughed.
Franklin was unfortunate in his business partner, who fell into drinking habits, so that he was obliged to dissolve the partnership. In connection with his printing-office, he opened a small stationer's-shop, and sold blanks, paper, ink, and pedler's wares. His business increased so much that he took an apprentice, and hired a journeyman from London.
We shall be allowed to live by small pedler's business, and iron-mongery since we have chosen those for our line of life as long as we are found useful black servants to the Americans, and are content to dig coals and sit in the cinders; and have still coals to dig, they once exhausted, or got cheaper elsewhere, we shall be abolished.
He began to entertain, for the first time, the horrible suspicion that the pedler's story might be true that he might after all be his cousin. But he resolved that he never would admit it NEVER! Where would be his pretentious claims to aristocracy where his pride if this humiliating discovery were made? Judging of his school-fellows and himself, he feared that they would look down upon him.
