Prickett, thus prepared for Leonard, received him very graciously; and, after a few questions, said Leonard was just the person he wanted to assist him in cataloguing his books, and offered him most handsomely L1 a week for the task.
As it was "I guess I'll get a bit more out of the old gal by holding on," said Prickett disrespectfully, and he held on till Joanna's impatience about equalled his extremity; whereupon he sold it to her for not over fifty per cent, more than he would have asked had he not known of her ambition. She paid the price manfully, and Prickett went out with his few sticks.
"She's been working for this all along," said Prickett disdainfully. "I don't see that she's had the chance to work much," said Vine, "she hasn't seen the young chap more than three or four times." "Bates's looker saw them at Romney once," said Southland, "having their dinner together; but that time at the Farmers' Club he'd barely speak to her."
John Dee, resided at Mortlake, then only six or seven miles from the City ... By reference to a statement made by Abakuk Prickett, in his 'Larger Discourse, it will be found that Henry Hudson the discoverer also was a citizen of London and had a house there." That is the net result of General Read's most laboriously painstaking investigations.
Meanwhile, sir, I invite you to my rooms, and will regale you upon brandy-and-water as long as I can pay for it; and when I cannot you shall regale me." Mr. Prickett muttered, "A very bad bargain indeed," as Mr. Burley, with his chin in the air, stepped into the street. At first Leonard had always returned home through the crowded thoroughfares, the contact of numbers had animated his spirits.
"I am going in the country a few miles to see a patient," said the doctor; "so we shall have time for undisturbed consultation. I have so often wondered what had become of you. Not hearing from Prickett, I wrote to him, and received from his heir an answer as dry as a bone. Poor fellow, I found that he had neglected his globules and quitted the globe.
Men that came home: Robart Billet, master. Abecocke Prickett, a land man put in by the Adventurers. Edward Wilson, surgeon. Francis Clemens, boteson. Adrian Motter. Bennet Mathues, a land man. Nicholas Syms, boy. Silvanus Bond, couper. After Hudson was put out, the company elected Billet as master.
Prickett, containing some brief advice, some kind cheering; a postscript to the effect that he had not communicated to Mrs. Avenel the information Leonard had acquired, and that it were best to leave her in that ignorance; and six small powders to be dissolved in water, and a teaspoonful every fourth hour, "Sovereign against rage and sombre thoughts," wrote the doctor.
I'll give her something to make her. She is naturally indifferent to others. I will alter her whole constitution, and melt her into sympathy with rhododendron and arsenic!" Before he went the doctor wrote a line to "Mr. "I will call on Prickett myself tonight and prepare him for your visit. But I hope and trust you will only have to stay there a few days."
Prickett concludes this episode by showing that Hudson's eager desire to press on prevailed: "After many words to no purpose, to worke we must on all hands, to get ourselves out and to cleere our ship."
