"Let all keep silence, there may be no occasion for alarm; let us hear all about it, Mrs. Haden." Mrs. Haden repeated her story, and said that Harry's father and mother were getting a body of pitmen to help them. "I think, Mr. Dodgson," said Jack, "the girls had best go back to Mr. Brook's as quickly as possible; we will come and fetch them when it's all over." "I think so too," said Mr.
Afterwards I suppose I shall have to go to the manager's house, but, of course, arrangements will have to be made as to Mr. Fletcher's widow and children; and when I go there, of course you will come too." "Thee'st a good un, lad," Bill Haden said, for Mrs. Haden's tears prevented her speech; "but I doubt what thou say'st can be; but we needn't talk that over now.
Seymour Haden, who took my husband to the room in which he kept his collections, where they had a long talk on art matters, and where he gave him a proof of the "Agamemnon," whilst I was having a chat over family interests, children, and music with Mrs. Haden. In the afternoon we called upon George Eliot and Mr. Lewes, who were very friendly indeed.
When the air is of a very explosive character even the Davy-lamps have to be extinguished, as the heat caused by the frequent ignitions within the lamp raises the gauze to a red heat, and the gas beyond will take fire. Jack took his place in the cage with Bill Haden and as many others as it could contain.
One of his proofs, sold by Sotheby's in 1888 that of an early etching brought a good price, not on its merits, but for this line by the artist, written on the margin: "Legs not by me, but a fatuous addition by a general practitioner." The "legs" were by Dr. Seymour Haden, Whistler's eminent brother-in-law.
When going about the country, if he sees comely stones in a wayside pile, or in a fine-featured old fence he will have them, whether or no, and dickers for them with all the eagerness, sly pride, and half-concealed cunning with which a lover of old prints chaffers for a Seymour Haden in a second-hand book shop.
Presently they all stopped short; the lights burnt low, and a choking sensation came on them. "Back, Jack, for your life!" gasped Bill Haden; but at that moment Jack's feet struck something, which he knew was a body. "Down at my feet; help!" he cried. He stooped and tried to raise the body. Then the last gleam of his light went out his lungs seemed to cease acting, and he saw no more.
Sir Seymour Haden has told us that Meryon's method was to make a number of sketches, two or three inches square, of parts of his picture, which he put together and arranged into a harmonious whole. Herkomer says that he "used the burin in finishing his bitten work with marvellous skill. No better combination can be found of the harmonious combination of the two."
J'ai cause aujourd'hui avec l'aubergiste de Walton-on-Thames, et il m'a dit qu'il nous nourrirait et nous logerait tous les deux pour L2 par semaine. On y est tres bien, il y a un jardin, et des etudes a faire en quantite. Mr. Haden pense que la peinture ne fatiguerait pas autant le cerveau que la litterature.
Bill Haden was astonished upon his return home that night to find that his wife had all along known that it was Jack who had defended the Vaughan, and was inclined to feel greatly aggrieved at having been kept in the dark. "Did ye think as I wasn't to be trusted not to split on my own lad?" he exclaimed indignantly.
