'They'd say a good one, I am sure, if they could. Many's the kind thing they say to me. 'The Bells do, father! laughed Meg, as she set the basin, and a knife and fork, before him. 'Well! 'Seem to, my Pet, said Trotty, falling to with great vigour. 'And where's the difference? If I hear 'em, what does it matter whether they speak it or not?
Polly had pink cheeks with it all, and even sought to excuse the meagre interest John had shown in his daughter. "Trotty was only a baby in arms when he saw her last. Besides, I think she reminded him too much of her dear mother. For I'm sure, though he doesn't let it be seen, John still feels his loss." "I wonder!" said Mahony slowly and with a strong downward inflection, as he turned indoors.
Again Trotty heard the voices saying, 'Follow her! He turned towards his guide, and saw it rising from him, passing through the air. 'Follow her! it said. And vanished. He hovered round her; sat down at her feet; looked up into her face for one trace of her old self; listened for one note of her old pleasant voice.
I can't I don't and so there's a pit dug between me, and them that can and do. There's others like me. You might tell 'em off by hundreds and by thousands, sooner than by ones. Trotty knew he spoke the Truth in this, and shook his head to signify as much. 'I've got a bad name this way, said Fern; 'and I'm not likely, I'm afeared, to get a better.
The little visitor looked once at Meg; and doubting nothing in that face, but trusting everything she saw there; ran into her arms. 'Here we are and here we go! cried Trotty, running round the room, and choking audibly. 'Here, Uncle Will, here's a fire you know! Why don't you come to the fire? Oh here we are and here we go! Meg, my precious darling, where's the kettle?
But Chinamen to Trotty were fearsome bogies, corresponding to the swart-faced, white-eyed chimney-sweeps of the English nursery. She hid behind her aunt, holding fast to the latter's skirts, and only stealing an occasional peep from one saucer-like blue eye. "Thank you, John. Me takee chowchow for lilly missee," said Polly, who had experience in disposing of such savoury morsels.
It's a curious circumstance, said Trotty, proceeding in his cookery, with the assistance of the toasting-fork, 'curious, but well known to my friends, that I never care, myself, for rashers, nor for tea. I like to see other people enjoy 'em, said Trotty, speaking very loud, to impress the fact upon his guest, 'but to me, as food, they're disagreeable.
Meg! why didn't you tell me what a beast I was? 'Father? 'Sitting here, said Trotty, in penitent explanation, 'cramming, and stuffing, and gorging myself; and you before me there, never so much as breaking your precious fast, nor wanting to, when 'But I have broken it, father, interposed his daughter, laughing, 'all to bits. I have had my dinner. 'Nonsense, said Trotty.
After doing first the one and then the other, he came back, and Trotty went half-way to meet him. 'You can tell me, perhaps, said the man with a faint smile, 'and if you can I am sure you will, and I'd rather ask you than another- -where Alderman Cute lives. 'Close at hand, replied Toby. 'I'll show you his house with pleasure.
Shut out from hope, high impulse, active happiness, itself, but active messenger of many joys to others, it made appeal in its decline to have its toiling days and patient hours remembered, and to die in peace. Trotty might have read a poor man's allegory in the fading year; but he was past that, now. And only he?
