"My Polly would have been at Hong Kong with the Buffs by this time, if I hadn't knocked the daylight out of that sergeant." And Poppins, from the tone in which he spoke of his own deeds, seemed to look back upon his feat of valour with less satisfaction than it had given him at the moment.
Only geese go to bed betimes, and never get beastly drunk as you was, Poppins." "I took a bit of stewed cheese, which always disagrees with me." "Stewed cheese never disagrees with you when I'm with you. I'll tell you what it is, Poppins; if you ain't at home and in bed by eleven o'clock next Saturday, I'll go down to the 'Goose and Gridiron, and I'll have that old Grandy out of his chair.
"Man!" shouted Robinson, and as he did so he turned round upon his friend and seized him by the collar of his coat. "I loved that woman. Forty thousand Poppinses could not, with all their quantity of love, make up my sum." "Very likely not," said Poppins. "Would'st thou drink up Esil? Would'st thou eat a crocodile?" "Heaven forbid," said Poppins. "I'll do it. And if thou prate of mountains "
"Do not pry into sorrows which you cannot understand. I would be alone with myself this night." "You'd be better if you'd come to the 'Mitre, and smoke a pipe," said Poppins. "Pipe me no pipes," said Robinson. "Oh, come. You'd better quit that, and take it easy. After all, isn't it better so, than you should find her out when it was too late? There's many would be glad to have your chance."
How would men treat him when he should no longer be the same Robinson? How had he condescended to Poppins! how had he domineered at the "Goose and Gridiron!" how had he patronized those who served him in the shop! Men remember these things of themselves quite as quickly as others remember them.
"Do you know, Poppins, what I did twice, ay, thrice, in those dark days?" "What; when Brisket was after her?" "Yes; when she used to say that she loved another. Thrice did I go down to the river bank, intending to terminate this wretched existence." "Did you now?" "I swear to you that I did. But Providence, who foresaw the happiness that is in store for me, withheld me from the leap."
The higher a man raises his head, the more necessary is it that he should learn to lean only on his own strength, and to walk his path without even the assistance of sympathy. The greedy Jones had friends. Poppins with his easy epicurean laisser aller, he had friends. The decent Brown, who would so fain be comfortable, had friends.
The orchestra yearned over music as rich and smooth as milk chocolate, which made him intensely lonely for Nelly, though she was only across the room from him. Tom Poppins immediately introduced Nelly to a facetious cigar salesman, who introduced her to three of the beaux in evening clothes, while Tom led out Mrs. Arty. Mr.
"She nags at me that dreadful, George," he once said, as he sat in his old arm-chair, with his head hanging wearily on his chest, "that I don't know where I am or what I'm doing. As for the workhouse, I almost wish I was there." She would go also to Poppins' lodgings, and there quarrel with her old friend Polly.
Poppins was wounded sorely about the head and stomach, and of what nature was the balm which his wife administered? He, Robinson, had longed for married bliss, but now he longed no longer. On the following Monday and Tuesday he went silently about his work, speaking hardly a word to anybody. Mr.
