ASHER. You can thank these scoundrels who are making this labour trouble for that. TIMOTHY. Scoundrels, is it? Scoundrels is a hard word, Mr. Pindar. ASHER. What else are they? Scoundrels and traitors! Don't tell me that you've gone over to them, Timothy that you've deserted me, too! That you sympathize with these agitators who incite class against class!
The bank was steep and several feet above the water. "Does anybody else keep sheep around here?" he inquired. "Not here," John Jacobs answered. "Look over there. Isn't that a sheep?" Asher pointed to a carcass lying half out of the water on a pile of drift where the stream was narrow, but too deep for fording. "Maybe some dog killed it and the carcass got into the creek.
"He is teaching Botticelli in his three manners," said Lady Ascott, "and Cyril is thinking of going over to Rome." "Asher, let us get away from this culture," Harding whispered. "Yes, let's get away from it; I want to show you a table, the one on which Evelyn used to write her letters. We bought it together at the Salle Druot."
Asher shifted the reins to his other hand and held the little white fingers close. "It wasn't anywhere near here. It was away off in the southwest corner of nowhere. I was going to say a shorter word, for that's where we were. I took that card out of an old deck from the man nearest me. The Comanches had fixed him, so he didn't need it in his game any more.
"Dearest," he whispered, "it seems to me as if I had been so slow, so slow, so very slow!" It was a long time before Captain Asher returned, and when he entered the parlor he found these two still there. They had been sitting by the window, and when they came forward to meet him Dick's arm was around the waist of Olive.
The same grip on a principle, coupled with a daring spirit and love of adventure that had brought old Jean Aydelot to the Virginia colony long ago, and had pushed Francis Aydelot across the Alleghanies into the forests of the Ohio frontier, and had called Asher Aydelot to the unconquered prairies of the big West the same love of adventure and daring spirit and belief in a cause bigger than his own interests had lured Thaine Aydelot on to the islands of Oriental seas.
My picture was not sent in to any Exhibition I could not let it go without seeing it again, without a last touch or two. When, some months later, I returned to town, my first thought inspired by the sight of my picture was how Quarriar was faring. I left the studio and telephoned to Sir Asher Aaronsberg at the London office of his great Middleton business.
AUGUSTA. When did they come? Er this morning. ASHER. Remember, Timothy, I rely on sensible men like you to put a stop to this nonsense. AUGUSTA. Asher, here's Jonathan. ASHER. Oh! Glad to see you back in Foxon Falls, Jonathan. I heard you'd arrived, and would have dropped in on you, but things are in a muddle here just now. DR. JONATHAN. Not only here, but everywhere. ASHER. You're right.
'My desire? murmured the artist, taken aback. Sir Asher here interrupted them by pressing his '48 port upon both, and directing the artist's attention in particular to the pictures that hung around the stately dining-room. There was a Gainsborough, a Reynolds, a Landseer. He drew Barstein round the walls. 'I am very fond of the English school, he said.
Wilson has not returned here since he left on the day before New Year." "Did he leave any luggage behind him?" "No, sir, he didn't." Mrs. Benker paused, then continued, "I'll tell you exactly how it occurred, if Mr. Asher will make some allowance for the wickedness of that wretched boy of mine." "I'll see what can be done, and use my influence with Mr. Asher."
