It 's a perfect mystery." "It is," Tinman sounded his voice at a great depth, reflectively. Glad of taking the part she was perpetually assuming of late, he put out his hand and said: "But it may have been ordained for our good, Martha." "True, dear," said she, with an earnest sentiment of thankfulness to the Power which had led him round to her way of thinking and feeling.
Let him live at the Crouch as my tenant if he finds the house on the beach in danger." "Papa, I am sure," Annette repeated "sure I have influence with Mr. Tinman." "There are those lips of yours shutting tight," said her father. "Just listen, and they make a big O. The donkey! He owns you've got influence, and he offers he'll be silent if you'll pledge your word to marry him.
May I venture to inquire whether Mr. Tinman has presented his Address?" "The day after to-morrow. The appointment is made with him," said Mrs. Cavely, more officially in manner, "for the day after to-morrow. He is excited, as you may well believe. But Mr. Smith is an immense relief to him the very distraction he wanted. We have become one family, you know."
He beat me as a boy and he has struck me as a man, and I say I have no thought of revenge, but I cannot have him here; and I say if I drive him out of the country back to his Gippsland!" Martin Tinman quivered for speech, probably for that which feedeth speech, as is the way with angry men. "And what? what then?" said Martha, with the tender mellifluousness of sisterly reproach.
The tinman took a seat, and before Mrs Warner had finished her usual invitation to strangers, of "reach to, and help thyself; we are poor hands at inviting, but thee's welcome to it, such as it is" he had already cut himself a huge piece of the cold pork, and an enormous slice of bread.
At last he aimed a blow which, had it taken full effect, would doubtless have ended the battle, but owing to his slipping, the fist only grazed my left shoulder, and came with terrific force against a tree, close to which I had been driven; before the Tinman could recover himself, I collected all my strength, and struck him beneath the ear, and then fell to the ground completely exhausted, and it so happened that the blow which I struck the tinker beneath the ear was a right-handed blow.
"Mart Tinman has me at his mercy, and he'll make me know it," her father returned gloomily. "He may let me off with the Commander-in-chief. He'll blast my reputation some day, though. I shall be hanging my head in society, through him."
Annette had to conduct the business with Mr. Phippun and Mr. Tinman as to payment for the chiwal-glass. She was commissioned to offer half the price for the glass on her father's part; more he would not pay. Tinman and Phippun sat with her in Crickledon's cottage, and Mrs.
‘A pretty question,’ said the fellow; ‘as if all the world didn’t know that. Do you know who I am?’ ‘I guess I do,’ said I; ‘unless I am much mistaken, you are he whom folks call the “Flaming Tinman.” To tell you the truth, I’m glad we have met, for I wished to see you. These are your two wives, I suppose; I greet them.
Anybody can read plain penmanship or print, but ask anybody not a Cabinet Minister or a Lord-in-Waiting to read out loud and clear in a Palace, before a Throne. Oh! the nature of reading is distorted in a trice, and as Tinman said to his worthy sister: "I can do it, but I must lose no time in preparing myself." Again, at a reperusal, he informed her: "I must habituate myself."
