Excerpt from Tony Butler, Vol. 2 of 3 "It's just nothing at all, Mrs Butler, but your own fears, and very proper fears too they are, for a young lad that goes away from home for the first time in his life, and to such a place too. Ah me!" cried he, in a sort of apostrophe, "it's not so easy to be in grace down about Charing Cross and the Haymarket." "You're just frightening me, Dr Stewart, that's what it is you are doing." "And I say it again, ma'am, it's yourself is the cause o' it all. But tell me what success he has had - has he seen Sir Harry Elphinstone?" "That he has, and seen a greater than Sir Harry, he has come back with a fine place, Doctor, he's to be one of the Queen's - I forget whether they call them couriers or messengers - that bring the state despatches all over the world, and as poor dear Tony says, it's a place that was made for him, for they don't want Greek or Latin, or any more book-learning than a country gentleman should have. What are you sighing about, Dr Stewart? there's nothing to sigh over getting five, maybe six, hundred a-year." "I was not sighing, I was only thinkin'. And when is he to begin this new life?"
