The young Londoner presumed to touch upon Tinman's private affairs by pleading on behalf of the Crikledons, who were, he said, much dejected by the notice they had received to quit house and shop. "Another time," bawled Tinman. "I can't hear you in this wind." "Come in," said Fellingham.
Fellingham rejoined. "Who could help it?" He thought himself warranted in giving the rein to his wicked satirical spirit, and talked lightly of the accidental character of the letter H in Tinman's pronunciation; of how, like somebody else's hat in a high wind, it descended on somebody else's head, and of how his words walked about asking one another who they were and what they were doing, danced together madly, snapping their fingers at signification; and so forth.

I lost no time in dashing the greater part of the water into the Tinman's face, whereupon he sneezed, moved his hands, and presently looked round him.
A number of things excited in their breasts a longing to possess them a tin pot, a paste buckle, printed calicoes with large flowerings. The shortness of money restrained them. By a happy chance, they unearthed at Balleroy in a tinman's house a Gothic church window, and it was big enough to cover, near the armchair, the right side of the casement up to the second pane.
The great event of his bailiff's term of office had become the sun of Tinman's system. He basked in its rays.
The guest at Elba was busy in adding up the sum of his own impressions, and dividing it by this and that new circumstance; for he was totally in the dark. He was attracted by the mysterious interview of Mrs. Cavely and Annette. Tinman's calling and departing set him upon new calculations. Annette grew cold and visibly distressed by her consciousness of it.
He was flippant. Annette glanced at her father, and dropped her eyelids. Mr. Fellingham perceived that he was enjoined to be on his guard. He went one step farther in his fun; upon which Van Diemen said, with a frown, "If you please!" Nothing could withstand that. "Hang old Mart Tinman's wine!" Van Diemen burst out in the dead pause. "My head's a bullet. I'm in a shocking bad temper.
Smith that meadow; he was heard to say, there was worse than transportation for Mr. Smith if he but lifted his finger. They Tinmans have awful tempers. His old mother died malignant, though she was a saving woman, and never owed a penny to a Christian a hour longer than it took to pay the money. And old Tinman's just such another." "Transportation!"
It was a cool, pleasant place in summer, and well suited to the purpose for which it had been built. It was dark, however, when the girls entered, and would have been very gloomy but for Christie's shining milk-pans and the rows of cream-covered dishes beyond. They were all needed, and some new ones had just been brought from the tinman's.
