For eight months in our year he had little choice but to dine with Tinman or be a hermit attached to a telescope. "Where are you going, Lieutenant?" His frank reply to the question was, "I am going to be killed;" and it grew notorious that this meant Tinman's table. We get on together as well as we can.
The Bohemian journeymen are detested in Munich on account of their willingness to work for low prices, which perhaps accounted for the tinman's readiness to consider the strangers as worsted in the contest. "We Germans fear God, and nothing else in the world," observed a mealy-faced shoemaker, quoting Prince Bismarck's famous speech.
"What a big fool he must be! eh?" Mr. Smith glanced at Crickledon and the other faces for the verdict of Tinman's townsmen upon his character. They had grounds for thinking differently of Tinman. "He's no fool," said Crickledon. Another shook his head. "Sharp at a bargain." "That he be," said the chorus. Mr. Smith was informed that Mr. Tinman would probably end by buying up half the town.
The youngest and only surviving child of a large family, and brought up without a mother's care, since Mrs. Parsons had died in her infancy, there was a delicacy and fragility, a slenderness of form and transparency of complexion, which, added to her gentleness and modesty, gave an unexpected elegance to the tinman's daughter.
In this exposed situation the wind, whose pranks are endless when it is once up, seized and blew Martin Tinman's dressing-gown wide as two violently flapping wings on each side of him, and finally over his head. Van Diemen turned a pair of stupefied flat eyes on Herbert, who cast a sly look at the ladies. Tinman had sprung down.

Tinman's practicing before the glass preparatory to his going to the palace in London." "He gave me a shillin'," said Crummins. Crickledon comprehended him immediately. "We sha'n't speak about it, Ned." What did you see? was thus cautiously suggested. The shilling was on Crummins' tongue to check his betrayal of the secret scene.
"I must have a look," Tinman broke from him, and cast a forlorn look of farewell on the last of the house on the beach. "You've got me left to you, old Mart; don't forget that," said Van Diemen. Tinman's chest fell. "Yes, yes," he responded. He was touched. "And I told those fellows if they landed you dry they should have I'd give them double pay; and I do believe they've earned their money."

"I wish you might have known no more than you did of our flight when I got you on board the ship with your poor mother; but you're a young woman now, and you must help me to think of another cut and run, and what baggage we can scrape together in a jiffy, for I won't live here at Mart Tinman's mercy."
Young Fellingham's appointment to come to Elba had slipped Mr. Tinman's memory. It was annoying to see this intruder. "At all events, he's not with Annette," said Mrs. Cavely. "How long has her father to run on?" "Five months," Tinman replied. "He would have completed his term of service in five months."
