Of the two, I believe Grey Moll to be the best, for she is at any rate true and faithful to him, and I like truth and constancy don't you, young man? 'Yes, said I, 'they are very nice things. I feel very strangely. 'How do you feel, young man? 'Very much afraid. 'Afraid, at what? At the Flaming Tinman? Don't be afraid of him.
Cavely said. Tinman appeared at Elba to demand a private interview with Annette. His hat was blown into the hall as the door opened to him, and he himself was glad to be sheltered by the door, so violent was the gale. Annette and her father were sitting together. They kept the betrothed gentleman waiting a very long time. At last Van Diemen went to him, and said, "Netty 'll see you, if you must.
He won't come back, and if he did, he shouldn't touch you in this state, I'd fight him for you; but he won't come back, so you needn't be afraid of him. 'I'm not afraid of the Flaming Tinman. 'What, then, are you afraid of? 'The evil one. 'The evil one! said the girl, 'where is he? 'Coming upon me. 'Never heed, said the girl, 'I'll stand by you.
Clothed in his dressing-gown, he slipped along to her door, to vociferate to her hoarsely that she must not frighten the servants; and one fine quality in the training of the couple, which had helped them to prosper, a form of self-command, kept her quiet in her shivering fears. For a distraction Tinman pulled open the drawers of his wardrobe. His glittering suit lay in one.
He nodded to one of the cronies intent on watching his labours: "Not unless they mean to be bait for whiting-pout. Who's that for Tinman, I wonder?" The speculations of Crickledon's friends were lost in the scream of the plane. One cast an eye through the door and observed that the carriage was there still. "Gentleman's got out and walked," said Crickledon.
You'll have to stump up your part." Van Diemen smiled roguishly. "We must discuss that," said Tinman, smiling too, as a patient in bed may smile at a doctor's joke; for he was, as Crickledon had said of him, no fool on practical points, and Van Diemen's mention of the half-payment reassured him as to his old friend's position in the world, and softly thawed him. "Will you dine with me to-day?"
After a while he sniffed the fine sharp air of mingled earth and sea delightedly, and he strode back to the town late in the afternoon, laughing at himself in scorn of his wretched susceptibility to bilious impressions, and really all but hating Tinman as the cause of his weakness in the manner of the criminal hating the detective, perhaps.
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." "And to think of his being a rich man because he deserted," Mrs. Cavely interjected. "Oh!
You know what to do go in, said the vulgar woman, who had hitherto not spoken a word, but who now came forward with all the look of a fury; 'go inapopli; you'll smash ten like he. The Flaming Tinman took her advice, and came in bent on smashing, but stopped short on receiving a left-handed blow on the nose.
His letter was addressed, on a large envelope, "To the Adjutant-General, But if ever consigned to the Post, that post-office must be in London; and Tinman left the letter on his desk till the morning should bring counsel to him as to the London friend to whom he might despatch it under cover for posting, if he pushed it so far. Sleep was impossible.
