But Miss Van Tuyn was claiming his urgent attention, and a waiter was giving him Whitstable oysters, and Chablis was being poured into his glass, and the band was beginning to play a selection from the music of Grieg, full of the poetry and the love of the North, where deep passions come out of the snows and last often longer than the loves of the South.
'Does he expect me to find anybody here that I could take? Poor George Whitstable is not much; but there is nobody else at all. 'You may have him if you like, said Sophia, with a chuck of her head. 'Thank you, my dear, but I shouldn't like it at all. I haven't come to that quite yet. 'You were talking of running away with somebody.
He was deeply interested in the oysters of Whitstable, and held forth almost romantically on their birth and upbringing, the fattening, the packing, the selling, and the eating of them "with lemon, not vinegar, mind! To eat vinegar with a Whitstable native is as vicious as to offer a libation of catchup at the altar of a meadow mushroom just picked up out of the dew."
While the Kaiser and Count von Moltke were going through Lennard's papers, and coming to the decision to send them to Potsdam, Lord Whittinghame's motor, instead of returning to Chatham, was running up to Whitstable to answer the telegram which Lennard had received at Rochester. The German flag cleared them out of Canterbury.
But the fugitives could not be brought back, and with some little delay, which made the marriage perhaps uncanonical but not illegal, Mr George Whitstable was made a happy man. It need only be added that in about a month's time Georgiana returned to Caversham as Mrs Batherbolt, and that she resided there with her husband in much connubial bliss for the next six months.
"I wonder what our friends at Whitstable will say to this ventur' of ours," said Maxwell. "Have you many friends there?" asked Edgar. "Many? of course I has. W'y, I suppose every English diver must have friends there." "Where is it?" asked Edgar. "Why, sir, don't you know Whitstable?" exclaimed Joe Baldwin, in surprise.
Fancy having to live at Toodlam all one's life with George Whitstable! Lady Pomona had agreed to this also, though she thought that Toodlam Hall was a very nice home for her elder daughter. 'And, mamma, I should drive you and papa mad if I were to stay at home always.
Lady Pomona was now empowered to return them, and they were absolutely confided to the hands of the odious George Whitstable, who about this time made a journey to London in reference to certain garments which he required. But Georgiana, though she was so far beaten, kept up her quarrel with her sister. She would not be bridesmaid. She would never speak to George Whitstable.
Fishermen join in building, rigging, and manning a boat; the proceeds of the fish they catch at sea is divided amongst them so much to the boat, so much to the fishermen. The company of oyster-dredgers of Whitstable "has existed time out of mind," though it was only in 1793 that they were incorporated by Act of Parliament. The tin-miners of Cornwall have also acted on the same principle.
It was also the Dover of its own day, the favourite landing place for continental travellers; while its famous oysters, the true natives, now driven by the silting up of their ancient beds to Whitstable, were as much in repute with Roman epicures as their descendants are to-day with the young Luculluses of the Gaiety and the Criterion.
