"Never knew anything like this before," replied her husband, "and I have seen bad times: but I always used to say, 'Mark my words friends, Mowbray will rally. My words carried weight, Mrs Trotman, in this quarter, as they naturally should, coming from a man of my experience, especially when I gave tick.
'Oh no, no, what should you do but come home to me? Was it that horrible place at Rotherhithe? 'Perhaps. It is just a fortnight since, and I felt a strange shudder and chill as I was talking. But it may be nothing; only keep Mite away till I have seen Trotman. My Mary, don't look like that! It may be nothing, and we have been very happy thank God.
This thing will spread. It won't stop short. I have had a bird too singing something in my ear these two days past. If they do not stop it in Lancashire, and I defy them, there will be a general rising." "I have seen a many things in my time," said Mr Trotman; "some risings and some strikes, and as stiff turn-outs as may be.
They were now emerging on the wide sweep of down commanding the little old country town which stands to the whole world as the racing capital of England. To their left, huge and gaunt against the night sky, rose the Grand Stand. "Where does Trotman hang out?" asked Radmore. "Shan't we have a devil of a difficulty in knocking him up?"
"Well, we will take a pound for the sake of trade, widow," said Mrs Trotman. "And here's a glass of gin and water, widow," said Mr Trotman, "and when Mowbray rallies you shall come and pay for it." "Thank you both very kindly," said the widow, "a good neighbour as our minister says, is the pool of Bethesda; and as you say, Mowbray will rally."
"Well it ayn't exactly the right ticket, Mrs Trotman, I believe," said Mick, bowing gallantly to the lady; "but 'pon my soul I am so thirsty, that I'll take Chaffing Jack at his word;" and so saying Mick and Devilsdust ensconced themselves in the bar, while good-hearted Mrs Carey, sipped her glass of gin and water, which she frequently protested was a pool of Bethesda.
They had come to a corner where high walls enclosed what might once have been the kitchen garden of a Georgian manor-house. "Here it is!" cried the boy. Radmore stopped the car and then he jumped out and struck a match. Over a door, set in the wall, stood out in clear lettering the words, "John Trotman, Veterinary Surgeon."
Trotman had been lured hither by the anticipation of a virgin field for saving souls; Rev. Little, because he dared not let any of his own fold be exposed to the pitfalls of an opposing creed. Dave Fellows left off setting chain pumps in Gurnersville and renewed his teaching experience by coming to Five Points to be principal of the school.
"Nothing in my way?" said a woman with a basket of black cherries with a pair of tin scales thrown upon their top. "Ah! Mrs Carey," said Chaffing Jack, "is that you?" "My mortal self, Mr Trotman, tho' I be sure I feel more like a ghost than flesh and blood." "You may well say that Mrs Carey; you and I have known Mowbray as long I should think as any in this quarter "
I like him enough myself to feel half inclined to do what I can towards licking him into shape, for the honour of the family! It is that girl Ida that riles me most. 'Yes, said Lady Adela, 'she behaved fairly well in company, but I saw her tittering and whispering with Emily Trotman in a tone that I thought very bad for Emily. 'She's spoilt; her mother worships her, said Bertha.
