I John Halifax am just the same, whether in the tan-yard or Dr. Jessop's drawing-room. The one position cannot degrade, nor the other elevate, me. I should not 'respect myself' if I believed otherwise." "Eh?" my father absolutely dropped his pipe in amazement. "Then, thee thinkest thyself already quite a gentleman?" "As I told you before, sir I hope I am."
Bad luck to my uncle O'Haggarty, that had the tan-yard here at all! He might have lived as became him, without dirtying his hands with the tanning of dirty hides." "I was just going," said John Gray, "to comfort you, Simon, for the laming of your horse, by observing that, if you had your tan-yard in order again, you could soon make up the price of another horse." "Ohoo!
"Indeed I will," said the boy; "but let me first go tell Jim Bates, there, who maybe will be returning to Paulus Hook, and I'll just bid him wait for me over yonder in the tan-yard until you gentlefolks have had your game."
During the fall of 1848, Warner, Ord, and I, camped on the bank of the American River, abreast of the fort, at what was known as the "Old Tan-Yard."
McPhersons troops were brought forward rapidly to Chattanooga, partly by rail and partly by marching. On the 4th of May, Thomas was in person at Ringgold, his left at Catoosa, and his right at Leet's Tan-yard. Schofield was at Red Clay, closing upon Thomas's left; and McPherson was moving rapidly into Chattanooga, and out toward Gordon's Mill.
Jem said it was chiefly about our mill and our tan-yard that the disturbance lay. "And where is my father?" Jem "didn't know," and looked very much as if he didn't care. "Jael, somebody must go at once, and find my father." "I am going," said Jael, who had already put on her cloak and hood. Of course, despite all her opposition, I went too.
"My father missed you, and grumbled after you a good deal. He looks anxious, I think. He vexes himself more than he needs about business." "Don't let him. Keep him as much at home as you can. I'll manage the tan-yard: you know and he knows too that everything which can be done for us all I shall do." I looked up, surprised at the extreme earnestness of his manner. "Surely, John "
The soldiers were, under the guidance of Mr. Larkins, safely ensconced in a tan-yard; and I myself, having consigned them for the present to a non-commissioned officer, was left at perfect liberty to dispose of my time and person as it might please me. While these arrangements were taking place, I had entirely lost sight of Mr.
Among those who listened most earnestly, was a man whom I had seen before to-day Jacob Baines, once the ringleader of the bread-riots, who had long worked steadily in the tan-yard, and then at the flour-mill. He was the honestest and faithfulest of all John's people illustrating unconsciously that Divine doctrine, that often they love most to whom most has been forgiven.
After arranging all this most judiciously and mysteriously with friends who were exactly of his own opinion, Mr. Hill laid aside his dignity of verger, and assuming his other character of a tanner, proceeded to his tan-yard.
