Wenham informed me, in 1866, his patent being taken out in 1864. The great objection to this kind of engine is the irregularity and great noise in working; this was so great as to prevent engines from being made larger than three horse power. The engine, however, did good work, and was largely used from 1866 until the end of 1876, when Mr.
"Gad," said he, "you've a tender conscience, Mr. Pendennis. It's the luxury of all novices, and I may have had one once myself; but that sort of bloom wears off with the rubbing of the world, and I'm not going to the trouble myself of putting on an artificial complexion, like our pious friend Wenham, or our model of virtue, Wagg."
Weak women, astonished at the charges and contortions of their accusers, assured that they were witches beyond all doubt, and urged to confess as the only possible chance for their lives, were easily prevailed upon to repeat any tales put into their mouths: their journeys through the air on broomsticks to attend witch sacraments a sort of travesty on the Christian ordinance at which the devil appeared in the shape of a "small black man"; their signing the devil's book, renouncing their former baptism, and being baptized anew by the devil, who "dipped" them in "Wenham Pond," after the Anabaptist fashion.
His followers take rather to sprinkling than immersion, for dipping hands and feet in water is held by them as quite sufficient, and both are not equally efficacious as purifiers in the tropics, however they may be as religious ceremonies. A Boston clipper ship was being unloaded of its cargo of Wenham Ice as we strolled along the wharf in the warm early morning.
Beyond almanacs, reports of cases badly got up, and newspaper verses, I know nothing that deserves such a name." "We may not print on as fine paper, Mr. Howel, or do up the books in as handsome binding as other people," said Mr. Wenham, bridling and looking grave, "but so far as sentiments are concerned, or sound sense, American literature need turn its back on no literature of the day."
He implored her good-will at parties where he met her. He cringed and coaxed Rawdon at the club. He was allowed to come back to Gaunt House after a while. Becky was always good to him, always amused, never angry. Wenham, was much more prudent in his behaviour and opinions than Mr. Wagg.
In fine, I implored him not to send the challenge." "I don't believe one word of the whole story," said Rawdon, grinding his teeth. "I believe it a d lie, and that you're in it, Mr. Wenham. If the challenge don't come from him, by Jove it shall come from me." Mr. Wenham turned deadly pale at this savage interruption of the Colonel and looked towards the door.
"There are a few little outside circumstances," he remarked, looking at the ash of his cigar. "In the first place, how do you suppose that this young Wenham Gardner spent the last week of his stay in New York?" "How should I know?" Tavernake replied, impatiently. "By realizing every cent of his property on which he could lay his hands," the detective continued.
"But I say, she must be a fine woman from Pendennis's account. Have in Dolphin, and let us hear if he knows anything of her." At this Wenham sprang out of the box, passed the servitor who waited at the door communicating with the stage, and who saluted Mr.
She had married a well-to-do merchant in Wenham, who died six months before and left her with considerable property. It was her own smart little turn-out in which she had been seen with Jim. Eva was working in the shop, and Jim had been out of employment for nearly a year, and living on his wife. There was a demand for girls and not for men just then, so Jim loafed.
