He had plenty to occupy his mind which was of a strictly immediate nature. A dozen times that morning Old Jerry asked himself what he would tell Dryad Anderson that night, when he stopped at the little drab cottage at the route's end, ostensibly to bid her good-by.
Among these thoughtful and far-seeing men was one Dr James Anderson, who in 1800 proposed the formation of railways by the roadsides, and he was so correct in his views that the plans which he suggested of keeping the level, by going round the base of hills, or forming viaducts, or cutting tunnels, is precisely the method practised by engineers of the present day.
The first and last acts were decidedly the best; in the latter especially Miss Anderson touched a true pathetic chord, and fairly elicited the pity and sympathy of the audience.
As an old adviser and servant of the railway, extensively acquainted moreover with the population settled or occasional of the district it was very natural that Anderson should be consulted on such an event. And yet Delaine had caught a glimpse of his aspect on his way along the platform, and had noticed that he never looked towards the car. Some odd conjectures ran through his mind.
The cottage at the edge of town went from straggling neglect to utter ruin, but John Anderson still clung to it with a senseless stubbornness over which they often shook their heads in pity in heartfelt commiseration for the Judge who had to endure this eyesore at his very doors, in spite of all his shrewdness or the reputed size of his balance at the County National.

When he looked up to find the source of the grateful relief, he could see nothing but an apron held up in two little hands behind the stook hiding both the sun and the face of the helper. "Who's there?" he asked. "It's me Annie Anderson," came from behind the un-moving apron. Now why would not Alec accept this attention from Annie? "Dinna stan' there, Annie," he said. "I dinna want it.
The horses beat along through the mist, in which there seemed no progress, and they lived in a blissful arrest of time. Miss Anderson called back from the front seat, "My ear buyns; you're talkin' about me." "Which ear?" cried Mavering. "Oh, the left, of couyse." "Then it's merely habit, Julie. You ought to have heard the nice things we were saying about you," Alice called.
She ran down the main street and turned up the one on which the Andersons lived. When she reached the house it was quite dark, except for a very faint glimmer in one of the upper front rooms. It was from the little night-lamp which Mrs. Anderson always kept burning. The sight of that light seemed to give Charlotte strength to get up the steps.
But he has sprang at a good many people and frightened them, and I have either to keep him tied or shoot him." "He didn't kill the boy?" Anderson laughed. "Oh no! He was not very badly bitten." "Well, I know one thing," said Eddy, with conviction. "I would not like a nice dog like that shut up all his life because he had bitten me."
