"If if you had a man like Mr. Timson " "You have not forgotten what you learned.
When Ian came back from the Bodleian Library, where he was working, he heard voices talking in raised tones before he entered the drawing-room. He found no Milly there, but Lady Thomson and Miss Timson seated at the extreme ends of the same sofa and engaged in a heated discussion. "It can't be true," Lady Thomson was stating firmly. "If it were, what becomes of Personal Immortality?"
‘On Thursday,’ replied Timson,—‘on Thursday morning at half-past eight.’ ‘Never mind, my dear fellow,’ replied Timson, all suavity, shaking hands with Tottle again most heartily, ‘so long as we see you to breakfast, you know—’ ‘Eh!’ said Parsons, with one of the most extraordinary expressions of countenance that ever appeared in a human face. ‘What!’ ejaculated Watkins Tottle, at the same moment.

Sir James Carus, the well-known scientist, had for some time been employing Miss Timson in the capacity of assistant, and spoke highly of her talents.

Of course, he'll be rearrested immediately and tried, with the deputy marshal, for having brought about the escape of the man that was sentenced to prison.
If you did what he told you EXACTLY like he told it to you, then you were all right, but if you didn't well, you was off the place before you'd time to look round. Worked under him from twenty to forty. Then he died an' the new one that came in had new ways. He made a clean sweep of most of us. The men said he was jealous of Mr. Timson."
"All right," said Mr. Timson readily enough, and so John began his first day's work in David's office.
"Must be a difficult person to get on with," commented John dryly. "I couldn't stan' it no longer," declared Mr. Timson with the air of one who had endured to the end of virtue, "an' I says to him the other day, 'Wa'al, I says, 'if I can't suit ye, mebbe you'd better suit yourself."

"'Wa'al, I says, 'I guess I see about how the land lays, an' I reckon you ain't fur out about the morgidge bein' at the bottom on't, an' the' ain't no way it c'd 'a' leaked out 'ceptin' through that dum'd chuckle-head of a Timson. But this is the way it looks to me you hain't heard nothin' in the village, have ye? I says. "'No, he says. 'Not yit, he says.
