"Tom Tiddler Abroad" was the next title, for the chronicle of a popular hero would run on for years and years; and in this section red Indians and wild beasts were rampant. 'T were long to trace the fortunes of Tom Tiddler in all their thrilling involutions; but when he had painted the globe red he married and settled down.
"`Well, I would rather get whacked than learn them, said I; `besides, of what earthly use are Latin and Greek, I should like to know? "`Fellows can't get along in the learned professions without them, said a boy whom we named Tiddler. He was a follower of Turner, and usually kept pretty near him in the class.
However, there's no fear about my girl. Fredi's hard to snare. And what brings you Cityward? 'I want to know whether I shall do right in selling out of the Tiddler mine. 'You have multiplied your investment by ten. 'If it had been thousands! 'Clearly, you sell; always jump out of a mounted mine, unless you're at the bottom of it.
"That boy is actually vexed because I will not go and play at Tom Tiddler's Ground with him. He positively expected that I would be Tiddler! Tiddler! Did you ever hear of such a name? It sounds like one of Dickens' characters. He says that all you have to do is to run about! Give me the long chair, please. He has almost succeeded in making me feel like Tiddler. It is a dreadful sensation."
And then began "Young Tom Tiddler's School-days," "Young Tom Tiddler's Schooldays Continued," "Young Tom Tiddler Abroad," and all the weekly round of breathlessness; and never was proverb truer than that the young cock cackles as the old cock crows.
"The Great Western!" What boundless ideas are suggested by this title, &c., &c. Well, never mind my reasons. I had made up my mind to go. That's enough. "Marlbrook s'en va t'en guerre," mais as MARLBROOK Junior I may say, "Je reviendrai." Politics to the winds! or, colloquially, Politics be blowed! I'm off to TOM TIDDLER'S ground. Nice fellow, TIDDLER. Knew him years ago.
He is now a Limited Company, "TIDDLER & Co." Well, you know what it was once upon a time. As good a quartette, though I say it who shouldn't, as ever sat down to a concerted piece, with myself as First Fiddle. But now "Where am dat barty now?" I don't know if I quote correctly; quoting correctly is not my forte.
The first to draw out a painted "tiddler" was Fred, and a gorgeous little fellow it was, with a throat of the most brilliant scarlet, shaded off into orange; while gold and green of the most dazzling lustres shone in the sun.
