Stixon replied; "we all works our way up regular, the same as my lad is beginning for to do. New-fangled ways is not accepted here. We puts the reforming spirits scrubbing of the steps till their knuckles is cracked and their knees like a bean. The old lord was the man for discipline your grandfather, if you please, miss. He catched me when I were about that high " "Excuse me, Mr.
Might not this letter be from his agent, of whom he had spoken as my protector here, but to whom as all unseen I scarcely ever gave a thought? Might not young Stixon, who so often was at Bruntsea, be employed to call at Newport for such letters, and return with them to his master? It was not very likely, for my cousin had the strongest contempt of anonymous doings.
Stixon looked at me with some surprise, and then began to think profoundly, and in doing so he supported his chin with one hand. "Let me see like the Captain?" He reflected slowly: "Did I ever see a gentleman like poor Master George, as was? A gentleman, of course, it must have been and a very tall, handsome, straight gentleman, to be taken anyhow for young Master George.
Also they met by the sad sea waves, when the bathing-machines had been hauled up for the Major now had three of them as often as Stixon senior smiled which he did whenever he was not put out on the bygone ways of these children. For Polly Hopkins had a hundred pounds, as well as being the only child of the man who kept the only shop for pickled pork in Bruntsea. And my Mr.
I asked at last, being so accustomed to like what I could get, that the number of dishes wearied me. "Oh yes, miss," said Stixon, very shortly, as if that description exhausted Mrs. Price. "If she is not too busy, I should like to see her as soon as these things are all taken away. I mean if she is not a stranger, and if she would like to see me." "No new-comers here," Mr.
"And you did it, without even looking out to see if he tried to set the house on fire! Oh, Stixon, I fear that you were frightened." "Now, Miss Erma, I calls it ungrateful, after all my hefforts to obleege you, to put a bad construction upon me. You hurts me, miss, in my tenderest parts, as I never thought Master George's darter would 'a doed. But there, they be none of them as they used to be!
Price, or Stixon, or any other person I could think of? None whatever and perhaps much harm. Taking all in all, as things turn up, I believed myself to be almost equal to the cleverest of those three in sense, and in courage not inferior. Moreover, a sort of pride perhaps very small, but not contemptible put me against throwing my affairs so much into the hands of servants.
This made me look at the nature of things, miss, and find it on my conscience to be after every body." "Yes, Stixon, yes! Now do go on. You must always have been, not only after, but a very long way after, every body." "Miss Erma, if you throw me out, every word goes promiscuous. In a heffort of the mind like this it is every word, or no word.
Something do come across my mind when you puts out your purty chin, miss; but there, it must have been a score of years agone, or more perhaps five-and-twenty. What a daft old codger I be getting, surely! No wonder them new lights puts a bushel over me." "No," I replied; "you are simply showing great power of memory, Stixon. Now try to think do please try your very best, for my sake."
Stixon could always contrive to get orders from his lordship to send the boy away, with his carriage paid, when his health demanded bathing. Hence it is manifest that the deeds and thoughts of Bruntsea House, otherwise called "Bruntlands," were known quite as well, and discussed even better because dispassionately at Castlewood than and as they were at home.
