She insists that: "Of course, I never let on, but every time we meet I can just feel him looking and...." Bessie interposes: "Why, Tracey Tanner's just crazy for fear he'll take on with Angie." I can see Josie's head toss at this. "I bet he don't know what Angie Tuthill looks like. That's too absurd..." "Absurd" is Josie's newest word.
Tanner's Lane Church, therefore, departed, much musing, and was never again summoned on that business. Mr. Allen had some thoughts of demanding another meeting and a formal acquittal, but the pastor was suddenly struck with paralysis, and although he lingered for nearly two years, he preached no more. So it came to pass that George and his father are on the church books till this day.
The blood of Odin flowed in the veins of Norman William; true and so did the tanner's of Falaise! At last he looked up and spoke courteously "I'm afraid I have kept you long; but now, here is for your corrections, which are capital. I have really to thank you for a lesson in writing English." And he put a sovereign into my hand. "I am very sorry," said I, "but I have no change." "Never mind that.
The window is shown from which Duke Robert first beheld the tanner's daughter, and the room in which William first saw what, if it really be the spot, must certainly have been light of an artificial kind. A pompous inscription in the modern French style calls on us to reverence the spot where the "legislator of ancient England" "fut engendré et naquit."
Bijonah Tanner had tried his best to shake Martin, but the hard-fisted old skipper, knowing and recognizing Tanner's "nose" for fish, had clung like a leech and profited by the other's sagacity. Nor was this all the Grande Mignon fleet.
A blackbird sleeps in its wicker cage. Water is boiling in the smoky earthenware pot from which rises a disagreeable soupy smell which mingles with that of tanner's bark and leather. A crouching dog gazes fixedly into the coals.
He looks as if he were a captain, and he waves that tail grandly, almost as if it might be a badge of office. But who are you? You haven't told me your name yet. Are you Mrs. Tanner's son?" The boy nodded. "I'm just Bud Tanner." "Then you are one of my pupils, aren't you? We must shake hands on that."
Or by an anti-climax for effect: "We have all this straight from the alderman's newspaper, but it is not to be depended on." From "Jack the Dullard," Hans Christian Andersen. Or by evading the point: "Whoever does not believe this must buy shares in the Tanner's yard." From "A Great Grief," Hans Christian Andersen.
"Ter gin Nate's grant back ter him," they both replied in a breath. "I hev not got it!" cried poor Birt tumultuously. "I never stole it! I dunno whar it be!" The tanner's expression changed from paternal kindliness to contemptuous anger. "Air ye goin' ter keep on bein' a liar, Birt, ez well ez a thief?" he said sternly. "I dunno whar it be," reiterated Birt desperately.
"I couldn't, of course, think of doing it every Sunday, you understand. It wouldn't be fair to myself nor my work which I have just left; but, of course, if there were sufficient inducement I might consent to preach some Sunday before I leave." Mrs. Tanner's little satisfied cluck was quite audible as the girl closed the front door and went out to the waiting Bud.
