"No--no--no, " he cried, and each negative wasmore emphatic than its predecessor-"The gentleman shall not have thetrouble to put on a fire--ugh--ugh. I'll put it on myself, for a con-si-de-ra-ti-on. " This last word was a favourite expression with the old gentleman, which he pronounced in a peculiar manner, gasping it out syllable bysyllable, and laying a strong emphasis upon the last. It was, indeed, a sort of protecting clause, by which he guarded himself against allinconveniences attendant o...n the rash habit of offering service orcivility of any kind, the which, when hastily snapped at by those towhom they are uttered, give the profferer sometimes room to repent hispromptitude.
"For shame, father, " said Martha, "that must not be. Master Grahamewill kindle his own fire, or wait till the char-woman comes to do itfor him, just as likes him best. " "No, child--no, child. Child Martha, no, " reiterated the old miser--"no char-woman shall ever touch a grate in my house; they put--ugh, ugh--the faggot uppermost, and so the coal kindles not, and the flamegoes up the chimney, and wood and heat are both thrown away.
