At his right stood Bundy, also with arms upraised holding the side; and on the left, between the ladder and the wall, was Philpot. For a brief space they strove fiercely to support the overpowering weight, but Philpot had no strength, and the ladder, swaying over to the left, crashed down, crushing him upon the ground and against the wall of the house.
"He said he did, Smith; what more do you want? Do let's pull all together." "Just what I want," said Smith. "Well," said Philpot, "I propose we lock them up in the big schoolroom." "Wouldn't it be better," said Flanagan, "to lock the Henniker up in her own room, and let Ladislaw and Hashford have the parlour? It will be more comfortable for them. There's a sofa there and a carpet.
Don't you think we could settle our own differences better amongst ourselves? It was Philpot Curran said of the fleas in Manchester, that if they'd all pulled together, they'd have pulled him out of bed. Now, Mr. Kearney, what if we all took to "pulling together?" 'We cannot get rid of the notion that we'd be out-jockeyed, said Kearney slowly.
'Come on, Saturday! shouted Philpot, just after seven o'clock one Monday morning as they were getting ready to commence work. It was still dark outside, but the scullery was dimly illuminated by the flickering light of two candles which Crass had lighted and stuck on the shelf over the fireplace in order to enable him to see to serve out the different lots of paints and brushes to the men.
'It is a bit of a take-down for the bleeder, ain't it, 'avin' to play second fiddle, said Philpot with a delighted grin. ''E's opin' Owen'll make a mess of it, Easton whispered. 'Well, 'e'll be disappointed, mate, answered Philpot.
His family at that time consisted of his wife and two daughters; Mary Ann, now the wife of R. J. Price, Esq., Dorothy, now widow of the late David Morris, Esq. With them also was his father, Samuel Philpot, now dead. Soon after his removal to Portage county he became interested with Mr.
Morrison, Philpot, and Morgan did what little they could to oppose them but they were simply run over and swept aside by the wily troop of Parretts, who with shouts of derisive triumph gained the staircase with unbroken ranks, and gave their pursuers the parting gratification of watching them slide down the banisters one by one, and then lounge off arm-in- arm, sated and jubilant, to their own quarters.
Crass, Slyme and Bundy now walked round the tables distributing the share-out, which was very welcome to everybody, especially those who had spent nearly all their money during the journey from Mugsborough, and when this ceremony was completed, Philpot moved a hearty vote of thanks to the committee for the manner in which they had carried out their duties, which was agreed to with acclamation.
Harlow maintained an awestruck silence, and Philpot continued: 'I had a drink the other night with a butcher bloke what used to serve this parson with meat, and we was talkin' about what a strange sort of death it was, but 'e said 'e wasn't at all surprised to 'ear of it; the only thing as 'e wondered at was that the man didn't blow up long ago, considerin' the amount of grub as 'e used to make away with.
'Now, said Philpot, assuming what he meant to be the manner of a school teacher addressing children, 'I wants you hall to make a speshall heffort and get 'ere very early in the mornin' say about four o'clock and them wot doos the most work tomorrer, will get a prize on Saturday. 'What'll it be, the sack? inquired Harlow.
