Miss Tweddle was a well-preserved little woman, with short curly iron-grey hair and sharp features. In manner she was brisk, not to say chirpy, but she secreted sentiment in large quantities. She was very far from the traditional landlady, and where she lost lodgers occasionally she retained friends. She regarded Mrs.
He looked very hard at Tweddle as he spoke, and the hairdresser felt that this was a crucial moment the detective was still uncertain whether he had been mixed up with the affair or not. Leander's faculty of ready wit served him better here than on past occasions. "Aware? No, sir!" he said, with admirable simplicity. "Then that's why you didn't come the other evening!
He's a very pleasant young man, and punctual to the second when he lodged with me. I happened to run across him up by Chancery Lane the other evening, and he said to me, in his funny way, 'I've been and gone and done it, Miss Tweddle, since I saw you.
There seemed to be a hammer beating on his brain, reducing it to a pulp. "Perhaps," said Miss Tweddle "perhaps, young lady, you'll explain what you've come for?" The statue slowly pointed to Leander. "I come for him," she said calmly. "He has vowed himself to me; he is mine!"
For the purpose of arousing public interest in the approaching New York Constitutional Convention, an equal rights meeting was held at Albany, in Tweddle Hall, November 21. To make this a success Miss Anthony spent many weeks of hard work. The diary notes that, among other things, she directed and sent out 1200 complimentary tickets. At this Albany convention political differences began to appear.
"That's enough," said Miss Tweddle. "It's all a mistake, I'm sure, and you'll be sorry some day for having made it. Now go, Miss Parkinson, and make no more mischief!" A light had burst in upon Leander's perturbed mind. Ada had not broken faith with him, after all. He remembered Bella's conduct during the return from Rosherwich, and understood at last to what a mistake her present wrath was due.
"By all means," he said at length. "Come and ease your conscience all over the house, sir, do; I can show you over." "Softly," said the detective. "I'll begin here, and work gradually up, and then down again." "Here?" said Leander, aghast. "Why, you've seen all there is there!" "Now, Tweddle, I shall conduct this my own way, if you please.
Matilda seemed perfectly calm, and certainly showed no surface curiosity; but he feared that her mother intended to require explanations. Miss Tweddle came in here with the original remark that winter had begun now in good earnest. "Yes," said Bella.
"Excuse me," said he, "but you said it would be too large for her; and, if you'll believe me, it's as much as I can do to get it off her finger, it fits that close." "Well, make haste and get it off, Mr. Tweddle, do," said Ada, impatiently. "I've stayed out quite long enough." "In one moment," he replied; "it's quite a job, I declare, quite a job!" "Oh, you men are so clumsy!" cried Ada.
"Oh come, I say!" said the man of war, running his fingers through his short curly hair; "my good feller, you'd better see what the lady says to that!" "I'm very well content as I am, thank you all the same, Mr. Tweddle," said Ada, unkindly adding in a lower tone, "If you're so anxious to dance, dance with Terpsy-chore!" And again he was left to watch the whirling couples with melancholy eyes.
