Hughie hung the first over his looking-glass, put the second on a shelf between Ruff's Guide and Bailey's Magazine, and lived on two hundred a year that an old aunt allowed him. He had tried everything. He had gone on the Stock Exchange for six months; but what was a butterfly to do among bulls and bears? He had been a tea-merchant for a little longer, but had soon tired of pekoe and souchong.
One was in a draper's shop in Glasgow and the other was clerk to a tea-merchant in Belfast. They were good sons, wrote regularly and sometimes sent home money. The other children were still at school. Mr. Kernan sent a letter to his office next day and remained in bed. She made beef-tea for him and scolded him roundly.
The tea-merchant smiled with a superior air. 'The Vozrozhdenie would do well to study Achad-Haam's philosophy. Then they would understand that their strivings are bound to lead to self-constriction, not self-expression. You were saying that, too, weren't you, Witsky? Witsky, who was a young lawyer, demurred.
Van Buren's father in the days of the China trade and of the primitive mandarin merchant, Hoqua. Mr. Van Buren, a tea-merchant of Boston, received his goods through merchant vessels, and not through his own ships as his father had done. The next morning Mrs. Van Buren went down early into her kitchen to assign Sky-High his work.
Lend me a shilling, Blyth; and I'll toss up for it. Heads liberty and the fine arts! Tails the tea-merchant!" "If you don't go back to the City to-day," said Valentine, "and stick to your engagements, I wash my hands of you but if you wait patiently, and promise to show all the attention you can to your father's wishes, I'll teach you myself to draw from the Antique.
The classes of our social fabric have, here and there, slight connecting links, and provincial public balls are one of these. They are dangerous, for Cupid is no respecter of class-prejudice; and if you are the son of a retired tea-merchant, or of a village doctor, or of a half-pay captain, or of anything superior, and visit one of them, you are as likely to receive his shot as any shopboy.
I suppose the Mongols are just as fond of money as other people. The Chinese are, certainly, and I might get some Chinese tea-merchant to let me go in his train for a consideration." The Russian laughed. "'Pon my word, Godfrey, I begin to think you will do it." "There can't be anything impossible in doing it," Godfrey said.
Well, ma'am, there always were scapegoats, and always will be; we find it comes round pretty square in the end. 'And I may be the scapegoat, Emmy! It is perfectly possible. The grocer, the pork-butcher, drysalter, stationer, tea-merchant, et caetera they sit on me. I have studied the faces of the juries, and Mr. Braddock tells me of their composition.

James Harwell, simple amanuensis to a retired tea-merchant, was one man; James Harwell, swayed by passion for a woman beautiful as Eleanore Leavenworth, was another; and in placing him upon the list of those parties open to suspicion I felt I was only doing what was warranted by a proper consideration of probabilities. But, between casual suspicion and actual proof, what a gulf!
