"Look at the bogh smiling in his sleep. Just like a baby mermaid on the egg of a dogfish. But where's the ould man at all? Has he seen it? We must have it in the papers. The Times?Yes, and the 'Tiser too. 'The beloved wife of Mr. Capt'n Peter Quilliam, of a boy a girl, I mane. Aw, the wonder there'll be all the island over everybody getting to know.
Edward took unfurnished apartments in London, near Russell Square: a locality in which, as he learned from the 'Tiser, the rooms were large and cheap. He packed just so much furniture as was essential; no knick-knacks. It was to go by rail on Monday; Mrs. Dodd and Julia were to follow on Tuesday: Edward to stay at Barkington and look after the sale. Meantime their secret ally, Mr.
Well then, Ju, there's an advertisement in the 'Tiser, and it's a regular riddle. Now mind, I don't really think there is anything in it; but it is a droll coincidence, very droll; if it wasn't there are ladies present, and one of them a district visitor, I would say, d d droll. So droll," continued he, getting warm, "that I should like to punch the advertiser's head."
There, it was." "Well, it was: ah, I remember now; that splendiferous account shut me up. Oh, I say, didn't the 'Tiser pitch it strong?" "Not at all," cried Julia; "I believe every word, and ever so much more. Mamma, we have got a hero, and here he is at breakfast with us, like an ordinary mortal."
"Is that sheepish face the thing to wear when a sister is reading out an heroic action? Ah, these are the things that make one long to be a man, to do them. What are you thinking about, dear?" "Well, I am thinking the 'Tiser is pitching it rather strong." "My love, what an expression!"
Edward wished to try and get his father into a public asylum; then his mother would have a balance to live upon out of her income. But Mrs. Dodd rejected this proposal with astonishment. In vain Edward cited the 'Tiser that public asylums are patterns of comfort, and cure twice as many patients as the private ones do. She was deaf alike to the 'Tiser and to statistics.
They were all in bed; and when he came down in the morning, Julia was reading out of the 'Tiser a spirited and magniloquent description of a fire in Southwark, and of the heroism displayed by a young gentleman unknown, but whose name the writer hoped at so much the line would never be allowed to pass into oblivion, and be forgotten.
Edward convinced that the dressmaking was their best card, searched that mine of various knowledge, the 'Tiser, for an opening: but none came. At last one of those great miscellaneous houses in the City advertised for a lady to cut cloaks. He proposed to his mother to go with him. She shrank from encountering strangers.
"Dec. 19th. Yes, they have settled it: we are to leave here, and live in lodgings to save servants. I asked him wherever he picked it up, his knowledge: he said, 'In the 'Tiser. I asked him would he leave the place where she lives. He looked sad, but said, 'Yes: for the good of us all. So he is better than I am; but who is not?
Dodd showed him the 'Tiser in her turn, and with her pretty white taper finger, and such a look, pointed to the following advertisement: AILEEN AROON. I do DISTRUST APPEARANCES. But if you ever loved me explain them at once. I have something for you from your dear sister. "Poor simple girl," said Mrs.
