"Private McTavish," he added, calling upon a tall Highlander who was gazing with admiring eyes upon the raging McCuaig, "assist Private Timms and Private Mulligan in arresting that man." "Why don't you come yourself, sonny?" inquired McCuaig. With a swift sidestep and a swifter swoop of his long arm, he reached for the corporal, who once more found safety in swift disappearance.
I want to go full as much as you do, Mis' Flagg, but you see I never was so well acquainted with Mis' Cap'n Timms, an' I always seem to dread putting myself for'ard. She certain was very urgent, an' she said plain enough to come any day next week, an' here 'tis Wednesday, though of course she wouldn't look for us either Monday or Tuesday.
"What is your name, witness?" inquired Mr. Balfour. "Albert Timms, at your service." "What is your calling, sir?" "I have at present the charge of a department in the School of Mines. My specialties are chemistry and microscopy." "You are specially acquainted with these branches of natural science, then." "I am, sir." "Have you been regarded as an expert in the detection of forgery?"
I was pretty sick of being a whole fortnight by myself, with no one but that interesting Mrs. Timms for company. You never wrote to me, and however careful I was, that five shillings wouldn't go far. What did you do in London? And why didn't you write?" "One question at a time, Nina. Don't strangle me, child. Sit down quietly, and I'll tell you my news. I'm a good grandfather to you, Josephine.
What's it all about? 'I was just asking who was responsible for putting the advertisements up in your cars, and saying it would be as well to make some inquiry about this one. 'Well, sir, that's all done at the Company's office, that work is: it's our Mr Timms, I believe, looks into that.
"Come here, Timms," said Mr Hazlit, abruptly, as he turned round and walked out of the closet, "I want to speak to you. I am no doctor, but depend upon it your wife will not die. There is a very small building quite a hut I may say near my house ahem! Near my cottage close to the sea, which is at present to let. I advise you strongly to take that hut and start a green-grocery there.
But, oh, squire! how could you stay from us so long, and let us be tempted by that fiend of the pit, Ruffin? we should have followed you through flood and fire, to be sure. 'Ruffin! I assure you, Houghton, you have been vilely imposed upon. 'I often thought so, said Houghton, 'though they showed us your very seal; and so Timms was shot, and I was reduced to the ranks.
Save yours now, Mary. Much will happen, it may be; but that Timms is a good man and must live." "I dassent. He told me not to, Timms did." "If a knife was aimed at Timms' heart, would you not throw yourself between him and its cut, Mary, even though commanded by him not to so save him?" "Yes!" "The knife is aimed and here's the paper by which you can throw your person on that knife.
Poor Mrs Timms, a delicate-looking woman, not yet forty, who had evidently been pretty once, lay on a miserable bed, apparently at the point of death. Aileen glided quickly to the bed, sat down on it, and took the woman's hand, while she bent over her and whispered: "Don't be distressed. The rent is paid. He will disturb you no more.
They come an' asked me one Saturday night to entertain the minister, that time we was having candidates" "I guess we'd better step along faster," said Mrs. Flagg suddenly. "Why, Miss Pickett, there's the stage comin' now! It's dreadful prompt, seems to me. Quick! there's folks awaitin', an' I sha'n't get to Baxter in no state to visit Mis' Cap'n Timms if I have to ride all the way there backward!"
