Howard in a strange inn, Vargrave lounged into the drawing-room, and was formally presented to the expectant family and the famishing guests. During the expiring bachelorship of Mr. Robert Hobbs, his sister, Mrs. Tiddy being a starch man, and not willing that the luxuriant charms of Mrs. T. should be too temptingly exposed! There was also Mr.
"Well," said Mr. Dooley, "Th' las' I heerd iv Adly, I didn't hear annythin', an' th' las' I heerd iv Tiddy he'd made application to th' naytional comity f'r th' use iv Mack as a soundin' board." "It's always been a wondher to me," said Mr. Hennessy, "ye niver marrid." "It's been a wondher to manny," Mr. Dooley replied haughtily.
I've been pitchin' information into ye f'r more years thin anny wan iver wint to colledge, an' I tell ye now I don't know annything about annything. I don't like to thrust mesilf forward. I'm a modest man. Won't somebody else get up? Won't ye get up, Tiddy Rosenfelt; won't ye, Willum Jennings Bryan; won't ye, Prisidint Eliot; won't ye, pro-fissors, preachers, doctors, lawyers, iditors?
A look of silent disdain: "Ri tum, ti tum, tiddy iddy." Between the quadrilles she asked an explanation. "Your aunt met me with my bag in my hand, and told me you wanted me to play to the company." When he said this, David heard a sound like the click of a trigger. He looked up; it was Lucy clinching her teeth convulsively. But time was up: the woman of the world must go on like the prizefighter.
But she's welcome to the room, seeing as how Mr Tiddy will be in the City, of course; and you're welcome to it, too, though you do keep yourself so close to yourself, which won't ever bring you round to have your money again; that it won't." Lady Ball came and was shown into the parlour, and her niece went down to receive her.
Tiddy, whom his wife had married for love, and who was now well to do, a fine-looking man, with large whiskers, and a Roman nose, a little awry.
Howard could sing, he could even play the guitar. But to sing at Hobbs' Lodge, to sing to the accompaniment of Mrs. Tiddy, to have his gentle tenor crushed to death in a glee by the heavy splayfoot of Mr. Tiddy's manly bass the thought was insufferable! He faltered forth assurances of his ignorance, and hastened to bury his resentment in the retirement of a remote sofa.
Now I held king and queen, being three a natural towser, making fifteen and tiddy, nineteen. We vied the ruff, and revied, as your lordship may suppose, till the stake was equal to half my yearly exhibition, fifty as fair yellow canary birds as e'er chirped in the bottom of a green silk purse.
"Why, you poor unfortunate boy, yeast has to rise over night, or an afternoon anyhow! They're no use!" They all three stopped simultaneously at the vision which she had quite honestly forgotten she presented. Tiddy listened humbly, and Clarence made a low bow. "The Queen came in the kitchen, speaking bread and honey," he quoted appositely, while John looked both pleased and proud.
