Ante, ii. 377, note 1. He was not called till Hilary Term, 1786. Rogers's Boswelliana, p. 143. Mr. Johnson's Prologue at the opening of Drury Lane Theatre. Works, i. 23. According to Mr. Seward, who published this account in his Anecdotes, ii. 83, it was Mr. Langton's great-grandfather who drew it up. 'My Lord said that his rule for his, health was to be temperate and keep himself warm.
Gordon and Rudd did not stop long in Cheap Street. The real business was in the fair fields by Rogers's house. This was only the outskirts. The next hour passed in a dream. Lights flared, rifles snapped at fugitive ping-pong balls leaping on cascades of water, swing-boats rose heavenwards, merry-go-rounds banged out rag-time choruses. Gordon let himself go. He and Rudd tried everything.
"We have fallen a pretty deal of timber & drawn some by Goodman Rogers's team, but unless your worship have a good team of your own & a man to go with them, I shall be much distracted for help ... & when our business is most in haste we shall be most to seek."
Sprague ran up his jib, and maneuvered his boat alongside the "Hoppergrass" again, this time with a view to letting the Captain, Ed, and Jimmy come aboard. Out of regard for the paint, however, they finally came in the tender. About the same time we saw Eb's boat, towing the disabled dory, set out in the direction of Rogers's Island.
Paul's Cathedral, by the side of Sir Joshua Reynolds, and under the same great dome which covers the tombs of Nelson and Wellington. There is scarcely a family of means and taste in the country but is the possessor of one or more of Rogers's groups in plaster.
The books, three in number, were the ordinary day book, journal, and ledger referring to the shop; book-keeping of the older fashion; but in a portfolio lay half a dozen foolscap sheets, headed 'Mr. Rogers's List', 'Mr. Macpherson's', 'Mr Tyrrel's', the names I had already learned, and three others.
"And something on our feet," the Big Business Man put in. "I'd like to take a revolver, too," said the Very Young Man. "It might come in awful handy." "As I remember Rogers's description," said the Doctor thoughtfully, "the trip out is more difficult than going down. We mustn't overlook preparations for that; it is most imperative we should be careful."
While we were eating, the question arose: who was to go to Rogers's Island? "We'll draw lots," said someone. We did so, with slips of paper, and I was more than pleased when I saw that I had, well, I was going to say: won. I thought I had won at the time, and I was tickled at the idea of going on this expedition by myself.
"It ain't that though I never saw a murdered man before." "What?" demanded Grady, sharply. "Didn't you see that fellow this afternoon?" "That was different," Rogers moaned. "I didn't know him. Besides, I thought he'd killed himself. We all thought so." "And you don't think Vantine did?" "I know he didn't," and Rogers's voice rose to a shrill scream. "It was that woman done it! Damn her!
Moreover, since Sprague and Pete decided to take their boat to Big Duck Island, the trip to Rogers's must be made by land. "It will be safer for just one of us to go to Rogers's Island," said Mr. Daddles, "and he can look around after the Captain and the 'Hoppergrass. If he finds them, they can all sail over to Big Duck Island tonight or to-morrow morning and join us there.
