Getting a little vague after a few years, and then perhaps a little altered, as fancy almost involuntarily supplied the defects of memory; but still that steep street, that tinsmith's shop the features of Oakford! I have since thought that Jemima must have had some special attraction to the tinsmith's, her errands there were so many, and took so much time.
"Now we'll go and see if there is any mail for us," said Uncle Robert. "Then we'll go to the tinsmith's." The rain-gauge was just finished. So Susie waited in the shop while Uncle Robert went to the stable for Nell, who pricked up her ears when she saw him. She was beginning to think she had been forgotten. It was late in the afternoon when they reached home. Mrs.
I can see them now as clearly as I saw them then, as I stood at the tinsmith's door in the High Street of Oakford let me see, how many years ago? The child who looked the older, but was, as I afterwards discovered, the younger of the two, was also the less pretty. And yet she had a sweet little face, hair like spun gold, and blue-grey eyes with dark lashes.
So Oz brought a pair of tinsmith's shears and cut a small, square hole in the left side of the Tin Woodman's breast. Then, going to a chest of drawers, he took out a pretty heart, made entirely of silk and stuffed with sawdust. "Isn't it a beauty?" he asked. "It is, indeed!" replied the Woodman, who was greatly pleased. "But is it a kind heart?" "Oh, very!" answered Oz.
And she and the tinsmith's wife both spoke at once about the same thing only the same thing. Barbara sat listening and tending her child. Her heart felt like breaking. For a moment she thought of going, not to Högden, but in another way, home with him at once. It was a temptation.
"We got to quit now, Jimmie. It's getting dark and the gas ain't turned on in the meter yet." He rose up out of the barrel, holding out at arm's-length what might have been a tinsmith's version of a porcupine. "What in What's this thing that scratched me?" She danced to take it. "It's a grater, a darling grater for horseradish and nutmeg and cocoanut.
Buckle in her old style; "to think of the young gentleman's remembering our Jemima, and she married to Jim Espin the tinsmith this six months past." So to the tinsmith's I went, and Jemima was, as she expressed it, "that pleased she didn't know where to put herself," by my visit. She presented me with a small tin lantern on which I had made some remark, and which pleased me well.
To these he added, bringing them from the crowded garret of the homestead, oil paintings of ships commanded by his father and grandfather, and family portraits, executed which is a peculiarly fitting word by deceased local artists in oil and crayon. He boarded up the fireplace in the sitting room and installed a base-burner stove, resurrected from the tinsmith's barn.
One day, after the Consul's family had returned from the bathing-place, Barbara set out for the tinsmith's. It was late in the autumn. She could hardly ever remember the road out there so bad and muddy as it was now. Both her boots and the bottom of her dress would need cleaning and washing when she got back again.
She went in and dressed the child; she hardly knew what she was doing, and hardly felt it under her hands. She saw the man give six dollars to the tinsmith's wife. He was so stiff and tall and distinguished-looking, with such a big, aristocratic nose, and he made a kind of bend every time she happened to look at him, and assured her that there was no hurry not the least!
