One glove was off, displaying a signet-ring, and he brought with him into the dingy office a strong odour of scent, whose source was probably the white pocket-handkerchief prominently displayed outside his breast-pocket. "Hullo, bumpkin!" he cried. "How's Tidd getting on?" "Very slowly," said Tom. "I wish you'd try and explain what this bit means." "Likely! Think I'm going to find you in brains.
Her father plainly told Tidd, too, that his visits were disagreeable to Belinda, and though he must always love and value him, he begged him to discontinue his calls at the Rookery. Poor fellow! he had paid his 20,000l. away for nothing! for what was six per cent. to him compared to six per cent. and the hand of Miss Belinda Brough? Well, Mr. Hoggarty our excellent shareholder. Mr.
Dinner was soon announced, and I had the honour of leading in Miss B., who looked back rather angrily, I thought, at Captain Fizgig, because that gentleman had offered his arm to Mrs. Brough. He sat on the right of Mrs. Brough, and Miss flounced down on the seat next to him, leaving me and Mr. Tidd to take our places at the opposite side of the table.
"That other claret we had yesterday is loaded, and disagrees with me infernally!" I must say I liked the yellow seal much better than Aunt Hoggarty's Rosolio.

While this dangerous messenger was on his foam-flecked horse, Brown, true to his quixotic sense of the dramatic, sent a raiding party of picked men to capture Colonel Washington and bring to his headquarters in the Arsenal the sword and pistols. On this foolish mission he despatched Captains Stevens, Cook and Tidd, with three negro privates, Leary, Anderson and Green.
Torrington was first to recover his composure and he rose with difficulty. "You justly reproach our manners, Mr. er " "Anything you like," said Richard, then with a flash of memory, "Oh, my name is Tidd John Tidd." "By gad, it's amazing," gasped Lord Almont.
