When he arrived at the wheelwright's shop at Chatres, the Emperor, as we have just seen, was abandoning himself to most brilliant dreams; which circumstance was most unfortunate for M. de Saint-Aignan, since he was the bearer of disagreeable news.
A dull intermittent sound of hammering came occasionally from the wheelwright's shed at sufficiently protracted intervals to indicate the enfeebled progress of Sidon's vehicular repair.
But the courtyards grow narrower, the houses closer together, and the fences disappear; a bundle of ferns swings under a window from the end of a broomstick; there is a blacksmith's forge and then a wheelwright's, with two or three new carts outside that partly block up the way.
Dick and Tom went down to the wheelwright's again next day to chat over old times fishing, shooting, the netting at the decoy, and the like; and heard how John Warren had lately died, a venerable old man, who confessed at last how he had helped Dave Gittan in some of the outrages when the drain was made, because he hated it, and said it would ruin honest men.
Gibbs was in his old corner at the "Wheelwright's Arms," and, instead of going into ecstasies over the sum realized, hinted darkly that it would have been larger if he had been allowed to have had a hand in it. "It'll 'ardly pay me for my trouble," he said, shaking his head. "It's very dull over 'ere all alone by myself.
I begin to suspect that you don't care an awful lot about Mr. Wheelwright's style of composition. Just the same, I've got to read him. All of him. Do you think I'll find his stuff in the Penny Circulator?" "My poor, lost boy! Probably not. It is doubtless all out in the hands of eager readers." However, Phil contrived to round it up somewhere.
And you'll never git no benefit to your own sowl, from Phoebe's boardin' the minister, nather. Take my word for that, Mike." Mike allowed himself a sort of froggy laugh. "There's nobody gets no good out of that, but him," said he; "but you've got it crooked about their not goin' to church. They did go reg'lar at fust, but the gig's at the wheelwright's gettin' new shaf's."
"Yes, Mester Dick," cried Mrs Hickathrift; "and thank ye kindly, do stop." "Oh, but we must get back!" cried Dick, who shrank from partaking of the wheelwright's kindly hospitality. "Theer, I towd you so," cried Mrs Hickathrift to her husband, and speaking in an ill-used tone. "They're used to table-cloths, and squire's wife's got silver spoons."
Alexandre-Honore was dark." "Well, then," replied Mathieu, "there must be another apprentice at the wheelwright's. My information is precise, it was given me officially." After a moment's perplexity La Couteau made a gesture of ignorance, and admitted that Mathieu might be right. "It's possible," said she; "perhaps Montoir has two apprentices.
What Boss anti-slavery mechanic will take a black boy into his wheelwright's shop, his blacksmith's shop, his joiner's shop, his cabinet shop? Here is something practical; where are the whites and where are the blacks that will respond to it? Where are the antislavery milliners and seamstresses that will take colored girls and teach them trades, by which they can obtain an honorable living?
