Porter, started clock-making at Waterbury, and carried it on largely for several years, but finally failed and went out of the business. Col. Wm. Leavenworth, of the same place, was in the business in 1810, but failed, and moved to Albany, N.Y. A man by the name of Mark Leavenworth made clocks for a long time, and in the latter part of his life manufactured the Patent Shelf Clock.
The winter passed in waiting for him to come to Waterbury every Saturday; and in the enjoyment of the two days he passed with me. In March Aunt Eliza wrote me that Lemorne was beaten! Van Horn had taken up the whole contents of his snuff-box in her house the evening before in amazement at the turn things had taken. That night I dreamed of the scene in the hotel at Newport.
She rose unsteadily to her feet. He stood, shame engulfing him. Then she caught her breath hard. "Oh!" she said softly, "it's it's you!" She laughed tremulously. "I I thought it was Mr. Waterbury." Relief, longing was in the voice. She made a pleading motion with her arms a child longing for its mother's neck. He did not see, heed. He was nervously running his hand through his hair, face flaming.
These steal out and in again, unnoted by the world or even the newspaper press, save for the line in the clearing column, "Schooner So-and-so for Yap and South Sea Islands" steal out with nondescript cargoes of tinned salmon, gin, bolts of gaudy cotton stuff, women's hats, and Waterbury watches, to return, after a year, piled as high as to the eaves of the house with copra, or wallowing deep with the shells of the tortoise or the pearl oyster.
And when micht we reckon on getting notification from what I may presume to ca' your double surpreese-packet?" He looked at his watch a well-used Waterbury, worn upon the silvered steel lip-strap of a cavalry bridle, and said: "Ten o'clock. At a quarter past eleven I think we may count upon something.
I was ashamed of my performance at the time, but now that I reflect upon it I see that it was rather fine and difficult. Mr. Thomas kept his luck, and won the game, and later the championship. In a minor tournament I won the prize, which was a Waterbury watch. I put it in my trunk.
Dorian said nothing, but rose from the table, and passing into the next room, sat down to the piano and let his fingers stray across the white and black ivory of the keys. After the coffee had been brought in, he stopped, and looking over at Lord Henry, said, "Harry, did it ever occur to you that Basil was murdered?" Lord Henry yawned. "Basil was very popular, and always wore a Waterbury watch.
It required a great deal of time and energy to wind a watch with such a long spring as this one had, and I must agree that those who made jokes at the expense of the poor Waterbury were well within their rights.
Really, he is nothing more than a big child." She laughed affectedly. Mrs. Calvert's quiet, keen eyes were on her. "Racing can be carried to excess, like everything," said the older woman, at length. "I suppose the colonel will bring home with him this Mr. Waterbury you were speaking of?" The girl nodded.
"I traded a Waterbury watch fer it, an' ther feller what made ther trade throwed in a pack o' cigareets." "Oh!" "Anything else ye'd like ter know?" "Well, seein' ez yer so communicative, I'd like ter hev yer tell me how fur it's ter Yeller Fork." "Betwixt grub." "Come ergin." "Ez fur ez yer kin ride betwixt 'arly breakfast an' dinner." "Well, I'm obleegin' ter yer. I reckon we'll be hikin'."
