Ah, all things were sweet to us then! we were little but children, Angus and I. And it's not children we are now, small's the pity!
Bolton had already Small's notes for a large amount in his safe, labeled "doubtful;" he had helped him again and again, and always with the same result. But Mr. Small spoke with a faltering voice of his family, his daughter in school, his wife ignorant of his calamity, and drew such a picture of their agony, that Mr.
Up to 1862 the only way to travel from California to Carson and Virginia City, south of Lake Tahoe, was by the Placerville road which came by Bijou and Lakeside and then over the Kingsbury Grade, via Friday's Station, afterward called Small's, by which latter name it is still known on the maps of the U.S. Geological Survey.
I don't wonder at it she's a very charming woman, and, I should say, the pink of discretion!" A vague consciousness of perfume caging about Irene, like that from a flower with half-closed petals and a passionate heart, moved him to the creation of this image. "But I wasn't sure of it," he said, "till I saw him pick up her handkerchief." Mrs. Small's eyes boiled with excitement.
Don't tell anybody yet; it's a secret. Say, Ros, DO you know of a good, sharp, experienced fellow?" I smiled. "Is it likely?" I asked. "How large is my acquaintance among sharp, experienced fellows down here?" "Not so large as it ought to be, I'll give in to that. But you know one." "Do I, indeed? Who is he?" "Yourself. You wouldn't take Small's job, would you?" "I?" I laughed aloud.
For that matter 'e was a shipmate o' Peter Russet's and old Sam Small's too. Not over and above tall; just about my height, his arms was like another man's legs for size, and 'is chest and his back and shoulders might ha' been made for a giant. He was an A.B., too, and that showed 'ow good-natured he was, to pick up with firemen.
The members of Small's battalion settled in Nova Scotia, and their descendants were in evidence when a Highland corps was organized by Lieut.-Col. Struan Robertson of Pictou, to take part in the "Greatest War." During the War of 1812, a regiment was raised amongst the Highlanders of the County of Glengarry, Ontario, known as the Glengarry Fencibles.
"O' course, there must be some kind-'arted people in the world all men who get married must 'ave a soft spot somewhere, if it's only in the 'ead but they don't often give things away. Kind-'artedness is often only another name for artfulness, same as Sam Small's kindness to Ginger Dick and Peter Russet. "It started with a row.
And three months arter they're married he'll wonder wot 'e ever saw in her. If a man marries he wishes he 'adn't, and if he doesn't marry he wishes he 'ad. That's life. Looking at them two young fools reminds me of a nevy of Sam Small's; a man I think I've spoke to you of afore.
Again, if you have the money, you may not have the inclination to pay; that's another point. We give this as a specimen of Mr Small's style of practical and theoretical logic combined. "The admiral, sir, is coming down the street," said Sleek, entering, "and I think he is coming here."
