I saw with grave concern that my father was ailing more and more. The attacks of his terrible disease came more frequently, and Mr. Pinhorn owned that he could do him no good. He bore his pain with wonderful fortitude, never suffering a complaint to pass his lips. Many a time in after years I recalled his noble courage, which helped me to bear the lesser sufferings which fell to my lot.
There's nothin' behind the hull thing but ol' Pinhorn an' who? I'm skeered o' Mr. Who? Pinhorn an' Who an' a Dark Night! There's a pardnership! Kind o' well mated! They want ye to put yer life in their hands. What fer? Wal, ye know it 'pears to me they'd be apt to be car'less with it. It's jest possible that there's some feller who'll be happier if you was rubbed off the slate.
Mrs Pinhorn, who had been standing near during this conversation, now struck sharply in: "They do say there was a brownie at the farm in those days, but when it got into other hands he was angered and quitted." "That's a curious superstition, ma'am," said the grocer politely. "There's folks in Danecross who give credit to it still," continued Mrs Pinhorn.
"As it might be here, and me standing as it might be there," he said, illustrating his words with the different parcels on the counter before him. It was not until all this was thoroughly understood, and every imaginable expression of pity and surprise had been uttered, that Mrs Pinhorn remembered that the "Greenways ought to know.
Paraday about it, but in the morning, after my remove from the inn, while he was occupied in his study, as he had notified me he should need to be, I committed to paper the main heads of my impression. Then thinking to commend myself to Mr. Pinhorn by my celerity, I walked out and posted my little packet before luncheon.
Mistress Vetch would, I am sure, have given her views on this question had not Mr. Pinhorn, the surgeon, who was at the other side of the corner from the captain, suddenly called out: "I say, Vetch, I fear you'll have to choose another receptacle for your secret documents."
"Whatever there is we should have it all to ourselves, for he hasn't been touched." This argument was effective and Mr. Pinhorn responded. "Very well, touch him." Then he added: "But where can you do it?" "Under the fifth rib!" Mr. Pinhorn stared. "Where's that?" "You want me to go down and see him?" I asked when I had enjoyed his visible search for the obscure suburb I seemed to have named.
"There's trouble up yonder on the hill," said Daniel, pointing with his thumb over his shoulder, and speaking in a strange, broken voice. "Mary White's baby!" exclaimed Mrs Pinhorn. "Fits!" added Mrs Wishing; "they all went off that way." "Hang the baby," muttered Daniel. He made his way past the women, who had pressed up close to him, to where the cobbler and Dimbleby stood.
Deedy had published reports without his young men's having, as Pinhorn would have said, really been there. I was unregenerate, as I have hinted, and couldn't be concerned to straighten out the journalistic morals of my chief, feeling them indeed to be an abyss over the edge of which it was better not to peer.
"Let me remind you, sir," said Mr. Pinhorn, who sat at the same table, "that the King can do no wrong." "But his ministers can do as they please," Mr. Adams rejoined, whereat the whole company broke into laughter. Mr. Pinhorn covered his mouth with astonishment, but presently allowed himself to say: "Sir, I hold to my convictions." "You are wrong, sir. It is your convictions that hold to you.
