However, we all at last landed, and drew up in very good order before Ben Tooke's shop, who favoured our rallying with great humanity; from whence we proceeded again till we came to Dick's coffee-house, where I designed to carry them. Here we were at our old difficulty, and took up the street upon the same ceremony.
The revolution infused new spirit into politics. In March 1791 Tooke's society passed a vote of thanks to Paine for the first part of his Rights of Man. Next year Thomas Hardy, a radical shoemaker, started a 'Corresponding Society. Others sprang up throughout the country, especially in the manufacturing towns.
Mr Tooke beckoned him up with Dale's class, when they carried up their themes; and, seeing how red his face was, the master bade him not be afraid. But how could he help being afraid? The themes were not read directly. It was Mr Tooke's practice to read them out of school-hours. On this occasion, judgment was given the last thing before school broke up the next morning.
He remembered Tooke's assurances of protection and friendship; he found Phil very kind and watchful; and Mrs. Watson told him privately that he was to be free of the orchard. She showed him the little door through which he might enter at any time, alone, or with one companion. Here he might read, or talk, and get out of sight of play that he could not share.

"Who pulled him down?" passed from mouth to mouth of the household. "He wont tell, noble fellow," cried Firth. "Don't ask him. Never ask him who pulled him down."

Tooke was consulted in the whole matter, and requested by Mr. Proctor to tell the two boys and Phil all about it. These three were therefore called into Mr. Tooke's study, one day, to hear some news. The letters which Mr. Tooke read were about Hugh. Mr.
"Oh, we've been fighting over a copy of Tooke's Pantheon," said Roger. They led Aubrey into the little private office at the rear.
