Miss Barber, Miss Cotton, Miss Lamb, Miss Dishley, Miss Trotter, Miss Hull, Miss Parker, Miss Bury, Miss Oxley, &c. &c. &c. &c. &c. &c. &c. &c. &c. &c. &c. &c., all, in their turn, peeped anxiously over Miss Milly's shoulder, to make themselves sure that their names were in the happy list. Lucy Harrison, alone, stood with a composed countenance in the midst of the agitated group.
But I didn't believe him Miss Trotter! I know you wouldn't do it you haven't got it in your heart to hurt a poor girl! He says he has every confidence in you that you're worth a dozen such girls as she is, and that I'm a big fool or I'd see it. I don't say you're not all he says, Miss Trotter; but I'm not such a fool as he thinks, for I know your GOODNESS too.
I did not refuse them, nor shall you refuse me now. I always said to Mr Trotter, 'Go to a lawyer; and if he had taken my advice he would have done well. I recollect, when a hackney-coachman smashed the panel of our carriage 'Trotter, says I, 'go to a lawyer; and he very politely answered, 'Go to the devil! But what was the consequence! he's dead and I'm bumming.
"I see now what you wanted the whip for," said the landlord, "and sure enough, that drumming on your hat was no bad way of learning whether the horse was quiet or not. Well, did you ever see a more quiet horse, or a better trotter?" "My cob shall trot against him," said a fellow, dressed in velveteen, mounted on a low powerful-looking animal.
Gertie had been nasty about the bread. But apparently everything was patched up. And with Frank once gone, and the new chap a man of the Trotter type, who would never obtrude himself he foresaw that everything would run on wheels, an idea dear to his peace-loving soul. Not that he was not sorry to lose Frank.
Melville, his tried supporter and intimate friend, was charged on the report of a commission with having misapplied public money as treasurer of the navy in Pitt's former ministry. It appeared that he had been culpably careless, and had not prevented the paymaster, Trotter, from engaging in private speculations with the naval balances.
Jack went to the shop and was put to work next morning. He had to carry beer and suffer a lot of humiliating imposition from older boys in the big shop, but he bore it patiently and made friends and good progress. That winter he took dancing lessons from the famous John Trotter of New York and practised fencing with the well-known Master Brissac.
"Would you like the Portsmouth paper, Mr Simple?" taking one out of her pocket; "I know gentlemen are fond of the news. Poor Trotter used never to stir from the breakfast table until he had finished the daily paper but that was when we lived in very different style. Have you any clothes to wash, Mr Simple, or have any of the gentlemen?"
This door, in turn, was glass-fronted, but protected by a heavy woven-wire grating. On it was a sign which read: "J. HEENEY. PLUMBING, WIRING AND ELECTRIC SUPPLIES." It was this basement which so inordinately interested Trotter. He essayed several mild inquiries, in handing his frugal parcel of washing over the Chinaman's counter, as to the occupant of the cellar below.
Trotter took them, with a swift, admiring look at Benson's cool, handsome face. Then, guiding their prisoner, the Secret Service men moved off hastily, for two or three hundred beach walkers had just discovered that something exciting had happened, and were hurrying forward. Lemaire was forced into the buggy and driven rapidly away.
