My father had seen him, not on his visit of inquiry, but on a few days after, bill-hook in hand, hacking away manfully at the briers and brambles of the garden. My first view of him was in a position even less romantic, assisting a Belford tradesman to put up a stove in the nursery. One of Mrs.
The servant asked me if I was a tradesman whatever that is isn't that enough to frighten anyone?" "I've read stories of reporters who never knew fear.
