"Got out o' bed the wrong side again, haven't you?" he inquired. "Why don't you put that side up against the wall?" Mr. Wragg puffed on in silence and became absorbed in a fishing-boat gliding past at the bottom of the hill. "I hear you've got a niece coming to live with you?" pursued the young man. Mr. Wragg smoked on. "Poor thing!" said the other, with a sigh.
"I know the right Johnny," he said. "Let me take you to him, Miss Jaques Eh, what?" Millicent affected to consider the proposal. She saw that Mrs. Vavasour was content. "It is very kind of you," she said, with her most charming smile. "Have we time to go there before lunch?" "Oh, loads." "I am walking toward the village. May I come with you?" asked Beryl Wragg.
"Does she take after you in looks, I mean?" "If I was twenty years younger nor what I am," said Mr. Wragg, sententiously, "I'd give you a hiding, George Gale." "It's what I want," agreed Mr. Gale, placidly. "Well, so long, Mr. Wragg. I can't stand talking to you all day." He was about to move off, after pretending to pinch the ear of the infuriated Mr.
Wragg, of Belper, to write to me, and inform me of their deplorable and forlorn situation, and to request that I would endeavour to raise a public subscription, to enable them to fee counsel, and to pay for bringing their witnesses to the trial, which Mr. Wragg assured me they were totally incompetent to do, they being all poor men, without any money or friends to help them.
Gale, and, with a pertinacity which was almost proof against insult, he strove to force his company upon the indignant Mr. Wragg. Debarred from that, he took to haunting the road, on one occasion passing the house no fewer than fifty-seven times in one afternoon. His infatuation was plain to be seen of all men. Wise men closed their eyes to it; others had theirs closed for them, Mr.
Wragg, when he noticed a station-fly, with a big trunk on the box-seat, crawling slowly up the hill towards them. "Good riddance," said Mr. Wragg, suggestively. The other paid no heed. The vehicle came nearer, and a girl, who plainly owed none of her looks to Mr. Wragg's side of the family, came into view behind the trunk. She waved her hand, and Mr.
Thomas Broughton was appointed Lieutenant-governor, and Robert Wright Chief Justice. The other members of the council were, William Bull, James Kinloch, Alexander Skene, John Fenwick, Arthur Middleton, Joseph Wragg, Francis Yonge, John Hamerton, and Thomas Waring.
"To-morrow afternoon at two," he said, briskly, "me and Charlie'll be there waiting." "Suppose old Wragg ain't out?" objected Mr. Gale, after ten minutes' explanation. "He's at the 'Lobster Pot' five days out of six at that time," was the reply; "if he ain't there tomorrow, it can't be helped." Mr.
The younger members of the Wragg family were eying her sourly through the glass partition. They seemed to be nice girls too, and she made up her mind to disillusion them speedily if they thought that she harbored designs on the callow youth whom they probably regarded as their own special cavalier.
Then his gaze fell on the bed and he strove in vain for speech. "We done it for the best," faltered Mr. Harris. Mr. Wragg made a gurgling noise in his throat, and, as the doctor entered the room, pointed with a trembling finger at the bed. The other two gentlemen edged toward the door. "Take him away; take him away at once," vociferated Mr. Wragg.
