Unfortunately, my friend never mentioned his family, or the place of his residence in England, so I have had no clue to guide me save one. I have even found two widows of the name of Tipps besides yourself, and one of these said that her husband was a sailor captain, but her description of him was not that of my friend.
She was not slow to do so. `Oh, sir, she said, `I want to communicate a secret, but dared not while my husband was by. Long ago, before I knew him, my husband stole a box of diamonds from a Captain Tipps " "My husband!" exclaimed the widow. "You shall hear," said Dr Noble.
"That may be," rejoined the lawyer; "but you are aware that Miss Tipps already teaches in order to increase her mother's small income, and she will probably be glad to get another pupil. We mean to pay her well for the service, and I suppose that if she has no objection you will have none." "Cer'nly not!" replied Mrs Marrot with much emphasis.
Just then a happy thought flashed into his mind. He would go on to Langrye station, get out there, and make a confidant of his friend Joseph Tipps, who, of course, could easily get him out of his difficulty.
Edwin at the same time became aware of the fact that the pertinacious Blunt was at his side. Walking quickly into the waiting-room he presented the glass of water to Mrs Tipps, but to his surprise that eccentric lady rose hastily and said, "Thank you, Mr Gurwood, many thanks, but I am better. Come, Joseph let us hasten to our darling Netta. Have you sent for a fly?"
Tipps, my fine fellow, glad to see you; why, I was just thinking of you," said the captain, extending his hand. "I have called," began Tipps, bowing to Emma and shaking the captain's hand, "to introduce my my eh! ah, my what's the matter?"
Three loaded trucks it crushed down, over-ran, and scattered wide in this way, in three successive plunges, and then, rushing on a few yards among chaotic debris, turned slowly on its side, and hurled the driver and fireman over the embankment. The shock received by the people at the station was tremendous. Poor Tipps, standing at his desk, was struck nervously as if by electricity.
"Well, well, mother," said Tipps, laughing, "I don't want to pry into such secrets; but here, you see, we have seventeen pounds odd of the discrepancy discovered already, and I've no doubt that the remainder could soon be fished up." "Yes," sighed Mrs Tipps, sadly, "I see it now.
It was of no avail that her son Joseph pointed out to her that accidents were in reality few and far between, and that they bore an excessively small proportion to the numbers of journeys undertaken annually; Mrs Tipps was not to be moved.
Bless your heart, ma'am," said John, with another benignant smile, "I went past Langrye station at sixty mile an hour, so we hadn't much chance to speak to each other. It would have been as much as we could have managed, if we'd tried it, to exchange winks." "Dreadful!" exclaimed Mrs Tipps in a low tone. "Is that the usual rate of travelling on your railway?" "Oh dear no, ma'am.
