I do take a deep interest in you, my that is miss; I feel a sincere regard and affection and " "But it's no use," said Minnie. "You really can't, you know; and so, why, you mustn't, you know." Tozer did not clearly understand this, so after a brief pause he resumed: "But what I was saying is of far more importance. I referred to your life. Now you're not happy as you are."
Clarence was yawning loudly, his arms raised over his head in total indifference to Tozer, when Phoebe came into the room; and the old man seized upon the occasion of her entrance to perform another act of worship. "Ah, here's Phoebe at last. Mr. Copperhead's come in from the country, my dear, and he's going to make us proud, he is, by accepting of a bit of breakfast.
You understand the duke as well as I do, and you know very well what he wants. He has given you time, and if you had taken any steps towards getting the money, you might have saved the property." "A hundred and eighty thousand pounds! What steps could I take to get that? Fly a bill, and let Tozer have it to get cash on it in the City!" "We hoped you were going to marry." "That's all off."
So as I was in Tozer's as I tell you, who should come in but old Mrs. Tozer, who once kept it herself and by her side, figure my astonishment, a young lady! yes, my dear, actually a young lady, in appearance, of course I mean in appearance for, as you shall hear, it could be no more than that.
Perhaps I shouldn't have told you, had you not been sure to find out. Old Mr. Tozer is my grandfather, and I am staying there. It is quite simple. Papa came to Carlingford when he was a young clergyman, newly ordained. He was pastor at Salem Chapel, and married mamma, who was the daughter of one of the chief members.
At Newich-wannock, the farmhouse of a man named Tozer was attacked by the Indians when only tenanted by fifteen women and children. A girl of eighteen, who was the first to see the approach, bravely shut the door and set her back against it; thus giving time for the others to escape by another door to a better secured building.
It was proof of the kindliness of Hank Hazletine that he made no mention of a strong suspicion that had been in his mind from the first. This was that when Tozer met Motoza he learned that the Sioux had already slain his prisoner, for Hank knew of the furious hate the fellow held toward the youth.
He nailed it up that very Sunday, and there it's been ever since. 'Who's Jinx? asked Rosalie. 'He's our boy; at least he lives with us. Me and John Thomas haven't got any children of our own, so we keeps a few. There's Jinx, he's chief of them; and then there's Skirrywinks, and Tozer, and Spanco, and then there's Jeremiah you haven't seen Jeremiah; he's in bed you'll see him when Jinx comes.
Yes, that is the girl that is with the Tozers; there can be no mistake about it. She is the granddaughter. She was at the Meeting last night. I had it from the best authority on the platform with old Tozer. And, indeed, Mr. May, how any one that had been there could dare to look you in the face! "I was there myself," said Mr. May. "It amused me very much. Tell me now about this young person.
Thomas Tozer; and while Old Towzer, as he was called, was trying to assert his proctorial authority over them, they had jeered him, and torn his clothes, and bespattered him with mud. A small group of gownsmen rushed to his rescue. "Oh, this is painful," said the Rev. Thomas Tozer, putting the handkerchief to his bleeding nose. "This is painful!
