"No, no!" said Sir Wilfrid, stopping short and holding up a deprecating hand. "Too bad! Go on." "Oh, we were only fooling with baby!" said the Duchess. "It is high time she went to her nurse. Sit here, Sir Wilfrid. Julie, will you take the babe, or shall I ring for Mrs. Robson?" "I'll take her," said Mademoiselle Le Breton. She knelt down by the child, who rose with alacrity.
'Please, sir, I'm come to speak to you about Daniel Robson, of Haytersbank Farm. 'Daniel Robson? said Mr. Donkin, after a short pause, to try and compel Philip into speed in his story. 'Yes, sir. He's been taken up on account of this affair, sir, about the press-gang on Saturday night. 'To be sure! I thought I knew the name. And Mr.
Philip promised to do his best, and to write word to Robson, who, satisfied with his willingness to undertake the commission, bade him go on and see if he could not find the lass. Her father was right in saying that she might not have set out for Yesterbarrow.
Robson brought to her recitals was a new and pleasing experience. After listening to the authentic gossip of Mrs. Robson, Mrs. Finnegan would return to her threshold with a sense of having shared state secrets. On such occasions Mrs. Robson's frankness had almost a challenge in it; she exaggerated many details and concealed none.
It was not likely there was a man on board. No one but boys would be fools enough to get caught like that, and I should have thought Bill Corbett had too much sense." "Why, Jack, what has happened?" Mrs. Robson asked as her son entered the house. "Nothing much, mother; but we have had a ducking.

Tripper senior and Ben quite agreed with Mrs. Robson that she ought to accept the offer. "We shall be always glad to see you down here, Bessy, you know, whenever you like to come; but it is certainly best for you and the young ones for you to accept the offer.
As soon as the gale abated sail was made, and they continued on their course. "Glad it is over, eh, Master Robson?" the sailmaker, Joe Culver, said to Jack as he was leaning against the bulwark on the evening after the storm had subsided, looking at the reflection of the setting sun on the glassy slopes of the long swell that was still heaving.

All was wanted to defend Daniel Robson at the approaching York assizes. His wife had handed over to Philip all the money or money's worth she could lay her hands upon.
Sometimes, when in a very complacent mood, he would go a-birds'-nesting with the children, a thing that irritated and annoyed me exceedingly; as, by frequent and persevering attempts, I flattered myself I had partly shown them the evil of this pastime, and hoped, in time, to bring them to some general sense of justice and humanity; but ten minutes' birds'-nesting with uncle Robson, or even a laugh from him at some relation of their former barbarities, was sufficient at once to destroy the effect of my whole elaborate course of reasoning and persuasion.
