Ransome met it with his head in the air, clear-eyed, defiant of their sympathy. "I think," his mother said, "we'd better come upstairs if we don't want to be interrupted." For on Sundays the back parlor was assigned to the young chemist, Mercier's successor, who assisted Mr. Ransome.
But it tickled him, the sheer fantastic opulence and extravagance of the thing. It tickled him so much that whenever you disagreed with or offended Ransome his jest was to refer you, magnificently, to "my legal adviser." Yes, for fantastic opulence and extravagance, Ransome had never seen anything to beat the Poly. There was no end to it, no end to the privileges you enjoyed.
Then taking the lowest and darkest streets, contrived at last to get home, wet and filthy, and quaking. Ransome and his men examined the shattered building within and without; but no trace could be found of any human being, alive or dead. Then they got to the river-side with lights, and here they found foot-marks. Ransome set men to guard these from being walked over.
It was in the cruelty of it, in that sudden barbarous tearing of the children from Winny, of Winny from Ransome, and of Ransome from his home, in that hurried, surreptitious flight through the darkness, that he most felt the pressure and the malignant pinch of poverty.
"Well, my dear, sometimes it means that they can't care for anything but their 'usbands. It's 'usband, 'usband with them all the time. There's some," she elaborated, "that care most for their 'usbands, and there's some that care most for their children." "And there's some," said Mrs. Ransome, "that care most for both, and care different, and that's best." "Which did you care for most, Mother?"
After two weary days of canvassing she went back to Ransome. He was just leaving. But he smiled genially, opened his desk and seated himself. "At your service," said he. "What luck?" "None," replied Susan. "I couldn't live on the wages they offered at the musical comedy places, even if I could get placed." "And the vaudeville people?"
The Manilla ransome has, I think, been most mentioned by the inferiour bellowers of sedition. Those who lead the faction know that it cannot be remembered much to their advantage. The followers of lord Rockingham remember, that his ministry began and ended without obtaining it; the adherents to Grenville would be told, that he could never be taught to understand our claim.
"Will you go down and try to eat something, sir?" he suggested. His low voice startled me. I had been standing looking out over the rail, saying nothing, feeling nothing, not even the weariness of my limbs, overcome by the evil spell. "Ransome," I asked abruptly, "how long have I been on deck? I am losing the notion of time."
We'll keep the little frocks, and what not, Nell." "Then there's the perambulator and the gooseberries, and the sweets," said Bobbie, "they're from Mrs. Ransome. She said: 'I dare say Mr. Perks's children would like the sweets. And the perambulator was got for my Emmie's first it didn't live but six months, and she's never had but that one. I'd like Mrs. Perks to have it.
So they talked of other matters, and the conversation soon fell on that which was far more interesting to Little than the capture of all the coiners in creation. He asked Ransome how long he was to go on like this, contenting himself with the mere sight of her. "Why;" said Ransome, "even that has made another man of you.
