Titmarsh, I have had the good fortune to see a list of your debts from the Insolvent Court, and find that you are indebted to Mr. Stiltz, the great tailor, in a handsome sum; to Mr. Polonius, the celebrated jeweller, likewise; to fashionable milliners and dressmakers, moreover; and all this upon a salary of 200l. per annum.
Titmarsh will have the kindness to accept some of the produce of her Ladyship's garden and park; with which, perhaps, he will entertain some of those friends in whose favour he knows so well how to speak." Along with this was a little note, containing the words "Lady Drum at home. Friday evening, June 17." And all this came to me because my aunt Hoggarty had given me a diamond-pin!
"I mean, it WAS pleasant until that that stupid man what was his name? came and took me away to dance with him." "What! don't you care for a red coat and moustaches?" I asked. "I adore genius, Mr. Titmarsh," said the young lady, with a most killing look of her beautiful blue eyes, "and I have every one of your works by heart all, except the last, which I can't endure.
They were ushered into my room, and, without any orders of mine, a bottle of wine and biscuits were brought in by Mr. Aminadab; which I really thought was very kind of him. "Drink a glass of wine, Mr. Titmarsh," says Smithers, "and read this letter. A pretty note was that which you sent to your aunt this morning, and here you have an answer to it."
"D'Annunzio, surely " began the Secretary. "D'Annunzio? My God! D'Annunzio! No! There's nobody in Italy or Holland she's as bankrupt as Spain; and there's not a cat in Austria. Russia might, perhaps, give us someone, but I can't at the moment think of him. No, Titmarsh, it's difficult." Mr.
"My son Kicklebury are you acquainted with Sir Thomas Kicklebury?" her ladyship said, with great stateliness "is at Noirbourg, and will take lodgings for us. The springs are particularly recommended for my daughter, Mrs. Milliken and, at great personal sacrifice, I am going thither myself: but what will not a mother do, Mr. Titmarsh?
Titmarsh I do recollect yes; though I suppose, sir, you will imagine that I have other more important things to remember." "Oh, sir, in course," says I. "That one of the clerks did say something about a pin that one of the other gentlemen had it. And so your pin was given you, was it?" "It was given me, sir, by my aunt, Mrs.
Titmarsh the present of a berth for the voyage, all objections ceased on his part: to break his outstanding engagements to write letters to his amazed family, stating that they were not to expect him at dinner on Saturday fortnight, as he would be at Jerusalem on that day to purchase eighteen shirts and lay in a sea stock of Russia ducks, was the work of four-and- twenty hours; and on the 22nd of August, the "Lady Mary Wood" was sailing from Southampton with the "subject of the present memoir," quite astonished to find himself one of the passengers on board.
"Oh, John my dear John!" cried Mrs. Brough, seizing her husband's hand and kissing it, "you are an angel, that you are!" "Isabella, don't flatter me; I'm a man, a plain downright citizen of London, without a particle of pride, except in you and my daughter here my two Bells, as I call them! This is the way that we live, Titmarsh my boy: ours is a happy, humble, Christian home, and that's all.
"Did mortal ever look upon eyes like hers, or view a more sylph-like figure?" "She might have a little more flesh, Mr. Tidd," says the Captain, "and a little less eyebrow. They look vicious, those scowling eyebrows, in a girl. Qu'en dites-vous, Mr. Titmarsh, as Miss Brough would say?" "I think it remarkably good claret, sir," says I. "Egad, you're the right sort of fellow!" says the Captain.
