His face was of the winter sea-colour, with the chalk wash on it. "Tear again, and I shall know what to think of the contents," Van Diemen frowned. "Let me see what you've said. You've sworn you would do it, and there it is at last, by miracle; but let me see it and I'll overlook it, and you shall be my house-mate still. If not! Tinman tore away.
Fellingham, though a man, and an Englishman, was nervously wakeful enough to see the connection. "They'll have to consult the young lady first, ma'am." "If it's her father's nod she'll bow to it; now mark me," Mrs. Crickledon said, with emphasis. "She's a young lady who thinks for herself, but she takes her start from her father where it's feeling. And he's gone stone-blind over that Tinman."
In truth, the bearded fellow was almost a woman at heart, and had come from the Antipodes throbbing to slap Martin Tinman on the back, squeeze his hand, run over England with him, treat him, and talk of old times in the presence of a trotting regiment of champagne. That affair of the chiwal-glass had temporarily damped his enthusiasm.
The shop and entresol at that time were tenanted by a tinman; the landlord occupied the first floor; the four upper stories were rented by very decent working girls, who were treated by the portress and the proprietor with some consideration and an obligingness called forth by the difficulty of letting a house so oddly constructed and situated.
"She's a child, having her head turned by those Fellinghams. But she's honourable; she has sworn to me she would be honourable." "You do think I may as well give him a fright?" Tinman inquired hungrily. "A sort of hint; but very gentle, Martin. Do be gentle casual like as if you did n't want to say it. Get him on his Gippsland.
I was just going to bawl out to Master Tinman, 'I knows the way, never fear me'; for I thinks I hears him call from his house, 'Do ye see the way? and into me this gentleman runs all his might, and smash goes the glass. I was just ten steps from Master Tinman's gate, and that careful, I reckoned every foot I put down, that I was; I knows I did, though."
I'll send my card across to Mart Tinman to-morrow, and set him agog at his breakfast." Mr. Van Diemen Smith waved his hand for Crickledon to lead the way. Hereupon Ned Crummins looked up from the card he had been turning over and over, more and more like one arriving at a condemnatory judgment of a fish. "I can't go and give my master a card instead of his glass," he remarked.
However, he found means to muzzle Giles, and sent the old doctor two couple of rabbits. Took to the national vice, and went to the national dogs, Thomas Fisher, a saving tinman, and a bachelor: so I expect no pity for him. To the same goal, by the same road, dragging their families, went the Rev.
"The master of the house is absent," was the smart retort roared at him; and Tinman staggered away, enjoying it as he did his wine. His house rocked. He was backed by his sister in the assurance that he had been duped.
"Say what's uppermost, Ned; never mind how you says it. English is English. Mr. Tinman sent for you to take the glass away, now, did n't he?" "He did," said Crummins. "And you went to him." "Ay, that I did." "And he fastened the chiwal glass upon your back" "He did that." "That's all plain sailing. Had he bought the glass?" "No, he had n't bought it. He'd hired it."
