A printer and stationer was compelled by usage to supply papers; and besides, paper subscribers served a purpose as a nucleus of general business. As with the "British Mechanics," so with seventeen other weeklies. The daily papers were fewer, but the accountancy they caused was even more elaborate.
'Sir, I wish to know the hills between here and Lugano, but I am too poor to buy a map. If you will let me look at one for a few moments, I will pay you what you think fit. The wicked stationer became like a devil for pride, and glaring at me, said 'Look! Look for yourself. I do not take pence. I sell maps; I do not hire them!
Snagsby as if he were going to take his portrait, there is nothing remarkable about him at first sight but his ghostly manner of appearing. "Don't mind this gentleman," says Mr. Tulkinghorn in his quiet way. "This is only Mr. Bucket." "Oh, indeed, sir?" returns the stationer, expressing by a cough that he is quite in the dark as to who Mr. Bucket may be. What do you say to this, Bucket?"
Nobody can look at that lady, sir, without being struck by the great taste and beauty of her dress " As I said those last words, the poor man seemed to find his powers of speech again. He cut me short directly as haughtily as if he had been a duke instead of a stationer. "Try some other means of justifying your vile calumny against my wife," says he.
Bultitude saw what a fearful trap he had fallen into and stood speechless. "Go along with you!" said the little stationer at last, with a not unkindly grin. "Lor bless you, I knew your face the minnit you come in. To go and tell me a brazen story like that! You're a young pickle, you are!" Mr. Bultitude began to shuffle feebly towards the door. "Pickle, eh?" he protested in great discomposure.
The thing was done. She was two thousand pounds in debt two thousand pounds to these two people only and there were ever so many shops at which she had accounts glovers, bootmakers, habit-makers, the tailor who made her Newmarket coats and cloth gowns, the stationer who supplied her with note-paper of every variety, monogrammed, floral; sporting, illuminated with this or that device, the follies of the passing hour, hatched by penniless Invention in a garret, pandering to the vanities of the idle.
Gouache may have found it, or it may have been picked up and sold, and he may have chanced to buy it. I never wrote the letter. The paper was either taken from this house or was got from the stationer who stamps it for us. Faustina may have taken it she may have been here when I was out it is not her handwriting. I believe it is an abominable plot. But it is as transparent as water.
A wholesale stationer supplied them, and a benevolent lady paid the bill. "Leave me alone," cried Looney from habit, "I ain't doin' nuffin." "All right," said Alfred airily; "I've only come to fetch somethink." But just at that moment he heard the superintendent's footstep coming along the passage. There was no escape and no time for thought.
Paul's Churchyard, suggested the collection to Milton, and undertook the risk of it, though knowing, as he says in the prefixed address of The Stationer to the Reader, that "the slightest pamphlet is nowadays more vendible than the works of learnedest men." It may create some surprise that, in 1645, there should have been any public in England for a volume of verse.
"Her father is old John Merton," continued Alfred. "Merton the stationer you know him, Jimmy. Unfortunately, he has a great deal of money; but that hasn't spoilt her. Oh no! She is just as simple and considerate in her behaviour as if she were some poor little struggling school teacher. She is the one for me, Jimmy. There is no doubt about it, and I'll tell you a secret."
