"I was on the ground with my friends and backers before my adversary appeared. "`Don't make too much of a burst at first, said one boy; `play with him till you see what he's made of. "`I'd advise you to go in for sloggin', said another. "`Yes, knock the wind out of him at once, said Tadpole; `he's an English fellow, you know, and may bother you with science. "As he spoke Tom appeared.
Dr Tadpole and his apprentice Tom went on pretty well together until the hundredweight of liquorice was expended, and then there was a fresh rising on the part of the injured and oppressed representative of the lower orders, which continued till a fresh supply from London appeased his radical feelings which had been called forth, and then the liquorice made everything go on smoothly as before; but two years afterwards Tom was out of his time, and then the doctor retained him as his assistant, with a salary added to his board, which enabled Tom to be independent of the shop, as far as liquorice was concerned, and to cut a very smart figure among the young men about Greenwich; for on Tom's promotion another boy was appointed to the carrying out of the medicine as well as the drudgery, and Tom took good care that this lad should clean his boots as well as the doctor's, and not make quite so free with the liquorice as he had done himself.
The development of the individual from the egg to maturity was uninterrupted by any metamorphosis, such as that of the frog when it passes from the tadpole stage. Yet in advancing from the amphibian to the reptile the evolution of the vertebrate was far from finished.
Fool what bought that tadpole lake done middlin' well in disposin' of it, how-sumdever." Here the Superior Being came to a dead pause, and waited to be questioned. "How's that?" asked the young man. After a proper interval of meditation, Jim said: "Sol' it this week. Tuck jest twice what he invested in his frog-fishery."
"Under the brown skin, which makes them look like fish; when the time of their metamorphosis arrives, this skin will split all down their back, and a little frog will come out of it. Look at this tadpole I have just caught; you can see the feet through its transparent skin.
The Brigade received orders to attack Queant and Pronville, taking up a line beyond these places and linking up with the Guards Division on the right. We along with the 7th H.L.I. were the leading battalions. As Queant and Pronville were found to be unoccupied the barrage was cancelled and these places were occupied without a fight and a section of the Hindenburg Line near Tadpole Copse was held.
'A far better majority than the present Government have, said Mr. Tadpole. 'There is nothing like a good small majority, said Mr. Taper, 'and a good registration. 'Ay! register, register, register! said the Duke. 'Those were immortal words. 'I can tell your Grace three far better ones, said Mr. Tadpole, with a self-complacent air. 'Object, object, object!
'When did he die? said Lord Fitz-Booby. 'I don't believe it, said Mr. Rigby. 'They have got their man ready, said Tadpole. 'It is impossible to say what will happen, said Taper. 'Now is the time for an amendment on the address, said Fitz-Booby. 'There are two reasons which convince me that Lord Spencer is not dead, said Mr. Rigby.
Tadpole, who was somewhat earnest in his talk, seemed to have pinned the Duke of Fitz-Aquitaine; Lord Marney who wanted to say a word alone to Lord de Mowbray had dexterously drawn that personage aside on the pretence of looking at a picture. Tadpole, who had a most frank and unsophisticated mien had an eye for every corner of a room, seized the opportunity for which he had been long cruising.
I asked Tom to come down, that I might call upon his sister and one or two other people before I go; so you see, doctor, as you can't go with me, you may just as well go and attend to the poor woman; so good bye, Doctor Tadpole, I will write to you as soon as I know what I'm to do." The doctor took her hand, and after a pause said, "Mrs St. Felix, Eheu, me infelix!" and hastened out of the shop.
