They were trying the specific gravities of objects; and the devices which they employed, the mechanical shifts to which they were put, were often of the rudest kind. In these evening entertainments, the mechanical contrivances were supplied by Stephenson, whilst Wigham found the scientific rationale.
"Has Captain Cannonby arrived at the house to-day, do you know, Wigham?" "Who, sir?" "A strange gentleman from London. Captain Cannonby." "I can't rightly say, sir. I have been about in the stables all day. I saw a strange gentleman cross the yard just at dinner-time, one I'd never seen afore. May be it was him." A feeling came over Lionel that he could not see Captain Cannonby before them all.
"My lady wouldn't let Miss Decima come out in it," thought Wigham to himself, as he drove on. The words of my lady, "as tall as a giantess," unconsciously influenced the imagination of Lionel Verner. The train was steaming into the station at one end as his carriage stopped at the other. Lionel leaped from it, and mingled with the bustle of the platform.
Better send for him to a private room, and get the communication over. What his after course would be was another matter. Yes; better in all ways. "Drive round to the yard, Wigham," he said, as the coachman was about to turn on to the terrace. And Wigham obeyed. He stepped out.
WASHINGTON, B.T. The Story of the Negro. WEEKS, STEPHEN B. Southern Quakers and Slavery. A Study in Institutional History. The Anti-Slavery Sentiment in the South; with Unpublished Letters from John Stuart Mill and Mrs. Stowe. WESLEY, JOHN. Thoughts upon Slavery. WIGHAM, ELIZA. The Anti-Slavery Cause in America and its Martyrs.
Somehow the kind of help over here don't seem to need managin'. They manage me more than I do them. There's Mrs. Wigham, the cook. Mrs. Cole told me she was a 'superior' person and I guess she is at any rate, she's superior to me in some things. She knows what a 'gooseberry fool' is and I'm sure I don't.
"You'll not forget, sir, that I should be glad to serve you, should you ever have room for me. I'd rather live with you, sir, than with anybody else in the world." "Thank you, Wigham. I fear that time will be very far off." "Or, if my lady should be changing her coachman, sir, perhaps she'd think of me. It don't seem nateral to me, sir, to drive anybody but a Verner.
John was a fair penman and a sound arithmetician, and Stephenson sought his society chiefly for the purpose of improving himself in writing and “figures.” Under Andrew Robertson, he had never quite mastered the Rule of Three, and it was only when Wigham took him in hand that he made much progress in the higher branches of arithmetic.
In the original design, of course, the oil continues uselessly to illuminate the interior of the screens during the period of occultation. Mr. Wilson's arrangement has been lately resuscitated by Mr. Wigham of Dublin, in connection with his new gas-burner.
Had his halt anything to do with them, with this grievous business? To Lionel's great surprise, just as they were concluding breakfast, he saw the close carriage driven to the door, attended by Wigham and Bennet. You may remember the latter name. Master Dan Duff had called him "Calves" to Mr. Verner. If Verner's Pride could not keep its masters, it kept its servants.
