At that moment, too, the local secretary came running with word that the first teams were already harnessed, and awaited the judges' preliminary inspection. Mr Widger and Mr Nicholls made their excuses, therefore, and hurried off to their duties. "I have a bone to pick with you," said Mrs Bosenna, as she and Cai took their way leisurably across the field.
Henry disliked London then, but he comforted himself with the thought that it resembled all capital cities, that its population was not a native population, but one that shifted and changed and had no tradition. Old Widger had lived in the same cottage all his life: his father had lived there too; and his family, for several generations before his father, had lived and worked in Boveyhayne.
"I like the English," he said again, and when he thought over that talk, there seemed to be nothing else to say. How could he feel about the English as John Marsh, who had never lived in England, felt? How could he dislike them when he remembered Gilbert Farlow and Roger Carey and Ninian Graham and Mrs. Graham and Old Widger and Tom Yeo and Jim Rattenbury ... and Mary Graham.
The hedges are full of wild roses and hazelnuts and there is a lovely lot of valaria on our wall. Old Widger says there will be a lovely lot of blackberries in September if everything goes well. I went out in a boat yesterday with Tom Yeo and I caught six dozen mackerel.
What prompts the mother, who dotes upon her children, to comment to her lord that evening on the plausible lady’s engaging qualities and feeling heart, and what is it that procures Mr. and Mrs. Bobtail Widger an immediate invitation to dinner?
"Yes, Quinny?" "Oh, I say, Mary!..." "Yes?..." "I'd like to marry you awf'lly, if you don't mind!" It was out ... oh, Lord, it was out!... "Oh, I should love it, Quinny," said Mary, looking up at him and smiling. "Would you really!" "Yes. Of course, I would. Let's tell Ninian and Widger!..." Her suggestion alarmed him.
It was Ninian who suggested that Widger should harness the pony and that they should drive down to the beach in the buggy.... "Yes, yes," said Mary. And Ninian went off to tell Widger to hurry harder than he had ever hurried before in his life. "I'll do that for 'ee, Mas'er Ninyan, sure 'nough!" said Widger.
As the seeker after wisdom went away he made one single audible remark by way of consoling himself for his crushed hopes and blighted anonymous love. It was to this effect. “I believe she squints, and I know she’s got bad teeth.” Relates the marvellous performances of Madame Widger, of No. 3, First Avenue, and how she looks into the future through a Paving-Stone.
"There won't be money's worth left in my field, at the rate you're spoilin' it." She turned upon the two judges, who were advancing timidly to placate her, while the crowd hung back. "And now, Mr Nicholls now, Mr Widger I'd like to hear what you have to say to this!"
