The man expected to see a lot of queer signs and figures; but instead he found a simple trade's message, as it seemed to him. P.L.A. shipped nine hundred horses on freight steamer Don Carlow from N. Y. Have the bill of lading handed over to our agent to check up. "Well," said the jewel dealer, "somebody's going to ship nine hundred horses. Where's the mystery?"
My trade's a mason; Leeds is where I come from; but when they're short of work, if you've got two grey hairs and another chap's got only one, you gets the sack, and has to live as best yer can. "God knows I don't want this beastly life. But it's a good thing I've got it to turn to. Most on 'em has nowt but their trades, and them's the ones as has to starve.
There had been a large trade's meeting overnight, and the hostility to the London craftsman had spread more widely, in consequence of remarks that had been there made. "We want no cockneys here, to steal our work." "Did ever a anvil-man handle his own blades in Hillsborough?" "Not till this knobstick came," said another.
Little wonder if in such an age colonies were regarded as providentially designed to promote the trade's increase. The recall of the Massachusetts charter was but one of many circumstances which reveal the rise in England of renewed interest in the plantations.
"It means, at any rate, that he hasn't been able to get a cargo. Trade's at a standstill. Well, I'd give something to lay Mr. Barker and his crew by the heels on behalf of the Company, Burke, for don't forget, as some of our friends of the Calcutta Council do, that I am here to save the Company, not their private property. 'Tis too late to stop the vessel now." "I'd like to try, sir."
He knew that he could not hope for such a position as that which he had thrown away to go to England; but with his training he could not fail to be useful to one of the trading firms, and perhaps in the end he would not lose by the change. "After all, you can't make money in a bank," he said. "Trade's the thing."
v See note LLL, at the end of the volume. v* The trade's increase, in the Harleian Misc. vol. iii. v Remarks on his travels, Harl. Misc. vol. ii. p. 348. v * Naval Tracts, p. 329, 350. v Raleigh's Observations. A catalogue of the manufactures for which the English were then eminent, would appear very contemptible, in comparison of those which flourish among them at present.
"Because I'm a tinker an' foller my trade, an' trade's uncommon brisk hereabouts. But as to yourself " "You are a strange tinker, I think!" said I, to stay his questioning. "And why strange?" "You quote Shakespeare, for one thing " "Aha! That's because, although I'm a tinker, I'm a literary cove besides. I mend kettles and such for a living and make verses for a pleasure!" "What, are you a poet?"
He hesitated; no, he would show him the place by broad daylight, and if he chose to overlook the "caving bank," it would be his own fault; a trade's a trade. "Come," said the planter, "come at my house to-night; to-morrow we look at the place before breakfast, and finish the trade." "For what?" said Charlie. "Oh, because I got to come in town in the morning." "I don't want," said Charlie.
I'm no Highlander, thank God, or at least with the savage long out of me; for I'm of an honest and orderly Lowland stock, and my trade's the Gospel and the truth, and the truth you'll get from Alexander Gordon, Master of the Arts, if you had your black joctilegs at his neck for it!" He rose up, pursing his face, panting at the nostril, very crouse and defiant in every way.
