English: Illustration for the story "The Cry in the Dark" by Thomas Wilkinson Speight. Once a Week magazine, volume 8, page 673. Illustrates this passage: Jacoby chose some whisky on the landlord's recommendation, and I ordered a tumbler of the same, more for "the good of the house," as the saying is, than because I cared to drink it. On Jacoby's invitation the landlord came and joined us; for the pedlar was fond of society, and probably thought he saw some chance of driving a bargain; at all events, after imbibing a glass or two of whisky, he grew more talkative than ever, and at last lifted his box on to his knees, opened it, and spread out on the table a quantity of cheap jewellery, which looked very bright and glittering by candlelight, but was, in reality, of very small intrinsic value ; and endeavoured, by a voluble and energetic harangue, to tempt the landlord into becoming a purchaser. That calm and sententious individual examined the baubles one by one, replaced them carefully on the table, and ended by expressing his opinion of them by a little silent laugh, and two or three extra puffs from his pipe ; thereby intimating, as plainly as though he had said so in as many words, "Rubbish, every bit of it : don't attempt to deceive me!" |
