Osborne was not the same Osborne he was when with his mother at the hall. Roger saw her glancing at his brother. 'You think my brother looking ill? said he, lowering his voice. 'No not exactly. 'He is not well. Both my father and I are anxious about him. That run on the Continent did him harm, instead of good; and his disappointment at his examination has told upon him, I'm afraid.
He feared that there would be other applicants, and was determined to see the manager before any one else. But he need not have been so anxious. Men such as Harkness & Company wanted were hard to get, and the firm were not disposed to be particular as to their character or antecedents, so long as they could do the "work" and hold their tongues afterward.
If I made any attempt to slur over or keep out of sight any item which I feared he would not like, it was sure to come out. So these first few days of the month were very anxious ones for me.

'Do you think you can walk to school by yourself this morning, Vava? inquired Stella a little doubtfully as they stood at the parting of their ways one week-day morning in the City. Stella had always walked to the school-gates with her younger sister; but to-day she had work waiting her at the office, and she was anxious to get there early.
Until he reached the place where he had first sighted her, Lone rode swiftly, anxious to be through with the business and go his way. But when he came upon her footprints again, he pulled up and held John Doe to a walk, scanning each bush and boulder as he passed. It seemed probable that she had left the grip at Rock City where she must have spent the night.

"You two have been so much together, that she feels she cannot be quite happy if you are not near her when she is being married." "Dear Beatrice!" said Mary, warmed for the moment to an expression of genuine feeling.
