I have pursued this craft at Rome and at Naples, and found I had to work all day to make half a tester, and that's not enough to live on." He then shewed me some fans he had done, and I thought them most beautiful. They were done in pen and ink, and the finest copper-plate could not have surpassed them. Next he showed me a copy from a Rembrandt, which if anything, was finer than the original.
Stewart gave him his Seconds for making twenty against the town, so Meredith had to give him his House cap. It is a school rule that a "Seconds" must have his House cap. Tester was not improved by his friendship with Stewart, and the pity was that he was really clever. He could always argue his case.
Out shone ten thousand tents of every size and hue and shape, from Isaac Levi's rood of white canvas down to sugar-loaves, and even to miserable roofs built on the bare ground with slips of bark, under which unlucky diggers crept at night like badgers roofed beds no more the stars twinkling through chinks in the tester.
It was hardly a ravishing thought; but it was useless to go back on a lie. Tester realised this. As Ferguson came through he called out: "I say, Ferguson, you know you'd better go up to the Chief and tell him you did it." Ferguson was, like the Boy Scout, always prepared.
That night I reposed myself in my canoe, covered with my watch coat, instead of a blanket, the heavens being my tester.
Thank you for your courteous offer of binding the lad apprentice to a tradesman. I suppose you would make a tailor of him would you? I had rather see him hang'd, d'ye see. Come along, Rory, I perceive how the land lies, my boy let's tack about, i'faith while I have a shilling you shan't want a tester.
Two English peasants passed very near the stone on which Vidal sat "Wilt thou sing us a song, minstrel," said one of them, "and here is a tester for thee?" throwing into his hat a small silver coin. "I am under a vow," answered the minstrel, "and may not practise the gay science at present."
At other times Peregrine talked as if he absolutely believed himself in fairyland, accepting a strawberry or cherry as elfin food, promising a tester in Anne's shoe when she helped to change his pillow, or conversing in the style of Puck, or Robin Goodfellow, on intended pranks.
I saw an old Marchioness the other day, who had I believe been exquisitely beautiful, lying in bed in a spacious apartment, just like ours in the old palaces, with the tester touching the top almost: she had her three grown-up sons standing round her, with an affectionate desire of pleasing, and shewing her whatever could sooth or amuse her so that it charmed me; and I was told, and observed indeed, that when they quitted her presence a half kneeling bow, and a kind kiss of her still white hand, was the ceremony used.
A few days later, when the German Fleet met with misfortune in the Gulf of Riga, Sergt. Tester posted a board with details of that reverse just in front of their barbed wire. The French batteries remained with us for a month, while our gunners were registering, and given a free hand in accordance with the British custom of annoying the enemy incessantly, showed a complete mastery over him.
