Mr Pancks put on his hat that moment, and steamed away to Pentonville. While he was gone Arthur never raised his head from the desk, but remained in that one position. Mr Pancks brought his friend and professional adviser, Mr Rugg, back with him.
'Not entirely of yourself? said Pancks, whose face was as damp as if his steam were turning into water as fast as he dismally blew it off. 'Have some legal help. 'Perhaps I had better. 'Have Rugg. 'There is not much to do. He will do it as well as another. 'Shall I fetch Rugg, Mr Clennam? 'If you could spare the time, I should be much obliged to you.
"We like Snoop very much," answered Bert, and went on with his ladder. Danny hunted for a stone, and watching his chance threw it at Snoop. It landed close to the kitten's side and made Snoop run to the other side of the barn roof. "Stop that, Danny Rugg!" cried a voice from the other end of the common, and Nan appeared.
Here the stranger seemed disconcerted, and muttered to himself quite audibly: "Strange mistake! How much this looks like the town of Boston! It certainly has a great resemblance to it; but I perceive my mistake now. Some other Mrs. Rugg, some other Middle Street." Then said he, "Madam, can you direct me to Boston?" "Why, this is Boston, the city of Boston. I know of no other Boston."
But with his handkerchief he soon had his eyes cleared, and then he came running toward Bert. Danny Rugg was larger than Bert, and stronger, and, in addition, was a bullying sort of chap, almost always ready to fight someone smaller than himself. But what Bert lacked in size and strength he made up in a bold spirit. He was not at all afraid of Danny, even when the bully came rushing at him.
Bert goodnaturedly started ahead to speak to the principal, who was talking with some of the teachers, planning games for the little folk. Flossie and Freddie were patting their pet, when Danny Rugg, and one of his friends came along. "That dog can't come to our picnic!" said Danny, with a scowl. "He might bite some of us." "Snap never bites!" cried Freddie. "Of course not," said Flossie.
'He is not unlike what my daughter was, sir, when we began the Breach of Promise action of Rugg and Bawkins, in which she was Plaintiff, said Mr Rugg. 'He takes too strong and direct an interest in the case. His feelings are worked upon. There is no getting on, in our profession, with feelings worked upon, sir.
"Come on with us," said Jim, who was a new boy in school. "Danny Rugg and some of the rest of us are going to have some sport." "What doing?" asked Bert. "Smoking cigarettes back of the coal house. I've got a whole pack." "No; I don't smoke," said Bert quietly. "Bah! You're afraid!" sneered Jim. "Cigarettes can't hurt you. It's only cigars and pipes that do."
Her face was pock-pitted to an incredible degree, so that what with this deformity, emphasized by the pouting of her prodigious and shapeless lips, and the rolling of a pair of eyes as yellow as saffron, Jonathan Rugg thought that he had never beheld a figure at once so extraordinary and so repulsive.
Rugg, said Cutter, 'the storm is overwhelming you; the night is exceeding dark; your little daughter will perish; you are in an open chair, and the tempest is increasing. 'Let the storm increase, said Rugg, with a fearful oath, 'I will see home to-night, in spite of the last tempest! or may I never see home. At these words he gave his whip to his high-spirited horse, and disappeared in a moment.
