In this species of service it may be easily supposed that Jenkin Vincent left his more reserved and bashful comrade far in the background.

Clocks watches barnacles? What d'ye lack? Watches clocks barnacles?
Master George shook it heartily, while Jenkin and Frank exchanged sly looks with each other. Richie Moniplies would next have addressed his thanks to the master of the shop, but seeing him, as he afterwards said, "scribbling on his bit bookie, as if he were demented," he contented his politeness with "giving him a hat," touching, that is, his bonnet, in token of salutation, and so left the shop.
Jenkin were, as I have said, men distinguished on the Liberal side. Like Wordsworth, they beheld "France standing on the top of golden hours And human nature seeming born again." At once, by temper and belief, they were formed to find their element in such a decent and whiggish convulsion, spectacular in its course, moderate in its purpose. For them,
Moreover, he was one who believed, with the sage, that all good work is profitable, having its value, if only in exercise and skill. His own parents and those of his wife had come to live in Edinburgh; but he lost them all within ten months of each other.

I remember perfectly how, so soon as we could get together, he began his attack: 'You may have grounds of quarrel with me; you have none against Mrs. Jenkin; and before I say another word, I want you to promise you will come to HER house as usual.

"There spoke a London 'prentice bold," said the citizen; "and, for your comfort, my lads, you shall crush a cup of wine to the health of the Fathers of the City.
"Under your patience, my lord," said Moniplies, "you are pleased to say that, because I crushed a quart with that jolly boy Jenkin, as they call the 'prentice boy, and that was out of mere acknowledgment for his former kindness I own that I, moreover, sung the good old song of Elsie Marley, so as they never heard it chanted in their lives "
Sir William Thomson took part in the laying of the French Atlantic cable of 1869, and with Professor Jenkin was engineer of the Western and Brazilian and Platino-Brazilian cables. He was present at the laying of the Para to Pernambuco section of the Brazilian coast cables in 1873, and introduced his method of deep-sea sounding, in which a steel pianoforte wire replaces the ordinary land line.
