pumper

The "organ beater" of bygone days was invariably accompanied by the "organ pumper," often by several of them.

This meant that the person who pumped must remember to fill a can of water and leave it for the next pumper.

Yet with Yoricks inconsequence, the narrator is led aside and exclaims at the end of this chapter, But where is Pumper?

The servant Pumper is a man of feeling, who grieves that the horses trod the dewdrops from the blades of grass.

I was startled because this was almost the only man except the pumper and the train crews that had been there since I came.
