He dropped the dog and gave it a kick, passed his sleeve across his eyes, and said angrily: "Blest if I bain't a crying like a gal. Who'd a thawt it? Well, well, poor old Jack! he was a good mate too" and Bill Haden proceeded to light his pipe. Slowly and reluctantly Mrs. Haden passed along the row.
If he thinks about it at all, which ain't likely, you can make out you get it on tick. Well, dad, how are you?" he asked, as Bill Haden entered the cottage. "Ah, Jack, lad, how be it with 'ee?" "All right, dad; getting on well. And how are things here?" "Bad, Jack. Those scoundrels, the masters, they won't give in; but we're bound to beat 'em bound to.
Jack said indignantly, "there be no sport in it. It is brutal cruelty." "The match be got to be fought out," another said, "unless Bill Haden throws up the sponge for his dog." "Come," Tom Walker said putting his hand on Jack's shoulder, "get out o' this; if it warn't for Bill Haden I'd knock thee head off. We be coom to see spoort, and we mean to see it." "Spoort!" Jack said passionately.
The men looked at each other with blank faces. "Hast seen Brook?" Jack asked eagerly. "Ay, he passed our stall with Johnstone ten minutes ago, just before the blast came." "We may catch him in time to stop him yet," Jack said, "if he has gone round to look at the walling of the old goafs. There are three men at work there." "I'll go with you, Jack," Bill Haden said.
Five or six times he would go over them, and expected for Jack was tyrannical in his ways that she would carry them away with her and learn them by heart, and go through them again and again, so that when he questioned her during their longer talks she would be perfect. Then, the five minutes over, Jack would run on to make up for lost time, and be in as soon as Bill Haden.
Brook asked presently, coming forward after he had heard from Haden's mate the manner in which he had been so far saved. "Not a scrap, master," said Bill Haden. "We are like rats in a trap; and it would ha' been kinder of us if we'd a let you lay as you was." "Your intention was equally kind," Mr. Brook said. "But is there nothing that we can do?" "Nowt," Bill Haden said.
We admire Meryon and Helleu's drypoints, Bracquemond, Jacquemart; Félix Buhot has a following; Lalanne and Daubigny too; but in comparison with the demand for Rembrandt, Whistler, Seymour Haden, or Zorn the Paris men are not in the lead. There is Rops, for example, whose etchings may be compared to Meryon's; yet who except a few amateurs seeks Rops?
Those who had, during the last few weeks, wearily watched the pumping out of the Vaughan, felt how fatal would have been the delay had it occurred when the strike ended and they were penniless and without resources, and no feeling of ill-will remained. "He be a game 'un; to think o' that boy standing alone agin' us a', and not a soul as much as suspected it! Did'st know o't, Bill Haden?"
"I saw Macmillan again before leaving, and now he is for bringing out the new edition of the 'Painter's Camp' in May. It will be a pretty little book, but I can't get Macmillan to go to the expense about illustrations. Colnaghi will publish etchings for me, and after all the hints and instructions received from Haden, I feel quite sure that I shall succeed in etching.
He was the son of reputable people, who lived at West Haden in Northamptonshire, who after affording him a competent education, thought proper to bind him to his father's trade of a carpenter. But he, having been pretty much indulged before that time, could not by any means be brought to relish labour, or working for his bread.
