And Tom Pinfold, still puzzled and scratching his head, the rejected fish still hanging by its tail from his expostulating hand; one might almost have imagined it the same fish. Grown-up folks had changed but little.
"What is the use of me to my master," he had argued, "except to spare him trouble, in spite of himself?" Surgeon Pinfold was prescribing for a row of sick people, seated before him on a bench. "You're not ill, are you?" he said sharply to Toff. "Very well, then, go into the parlour and wait." The patients being dismissed, Toff attempted to explain the object of his visit.
Petulengro, stood before the encampment, and his adopted daughter, Miss Pinfold, stood beside him. "Myself. Petulengro! I am glad to see you: how are you getting on? "Mr. Petulengro. 'How am I getting on? as well as I can. "Thereupon I dismounted, and delivering the reins of the good horse to Miss Pinfold, I took the Jew of Fez, even Hayim Ben Attar, by the hand, and went up to Mr.
"The trouble with Amelius," he thought, as he closed the cottage gate, "is not over yet." The day on which worthy old Surgeon Pinfold had predicted that Sally would be in a fair way of recovery had come and gone; and still the medical report to Amelius was the same: "You must be patient, sir; she is not well enough to see you yet."
A branch of the Pool ran up the westward and formed an ornamental water in the grounds that skirted the Pool, a rustic bridge being thrown over it. The cottage at one corner of the Pool is the ancient pinfold, and the rent of it was paid to the lord of the manor. The view from this part of Everton was very fine before houses began to spring up in its vicinity.
Seldom, since that of the Caudine Forks, did any Army, by ill-luck and ill-guidance, get into such a pinfold, death or flat surrender seemingly their one alternative. "Thus march these English, that dewy morning, Thursday, June 27th, 1743, with cannon playing on their left flank; and such a fate ahead of them, had they known it; very short of breakfast, too, for most part.
Into the inclosure the shining creatures shot, pushing, crowding, and dashing over each other, until the pen was packed with fish, almost as closely jammed together as sardines in a tin box. Then the bush was driven down into the opening; and all that it was necessary to do, was to dip into the pinfold and take out great handfuls of fish.
I have altered my opinion. He's such a glorious fellow so impulsive and so tender-hearted that he would be certain, in her present excited state, to do her more harm than good. Do you know if he is going to be married?" Toff, listening thus far in silent distress, suddenly looked up. "Why do you ask me, sir?" "It's an idle question, I dare say," old Pinfold remarked.
We must give his father the credit of having done his best, in a well-meaning paternal fashion, to make his son over again in his own image, and to thwart the design of nature by coaxing or driving him into the pinfold of a prosperous obscurity. But Gotthold, with all his gifts, had no talent whatever for contented routine.
I saw the stork, perplexed and annoyed, looking as I had sometimes seen Tom Pinfold look when the fish he had been holding out by the tail had been sniffed at by Anna, and the kitchen door shut in his face. Would the stork also have gone away thoughtfully scratching his head with one of those long, compass-like legs of his, and muttering to himself.
