Miss Patty Fairchild of the 7 A of this City, will probably not pass in ARithmetiC unless great improvement takes place before Examination. Miss Julia Atwater of this City wrote a letter to the family stating while visiting in the SOuth she has made an engagement to be married to MR. Crum of that City.
Daisy's face brightened into its usual smile at sight of him. "I have been to Crum Elbow, Dr. Sandford." "Suppose you go a little further and have luncheon with Mrs. Sandford and me? It will not take us long to get to it." "Does mamma say so, Dr. Sandford?" "Yes." "Then I will be ready in a moment." "Where are you going?" said her friend, stopping her. "Only up stairs for a minute.
The best way of dressing them is to stuff them into a roll, scooped of it's crum; to baste them well with butter, and roast them, until they are brown and crisp. The ortolans are kept in cages, and crammed, until they die of fat, then eaten as dainties. The thrush is presented with the trail, because the bird feeds on olives.
On coming out Crum said: "It's half an hour before they close; let's go on to the Pandemonium." They took a hansom to travel the hundred yards, and seats costing seven-and-six apiece because they were going to stand, and walked into the Promenade. It was in these little things, this utter negligence of money that Crum had such engaging polish.
He had not guessed what made the clasp of Daisy's arms round his neck so close that morning. Till they passed through Crum Elbow everything had been, as Preston said, seen a hundred times before. A little way beyond that everything became new. Mrs. Randolph's carriage never came that road. The country grew more rough and broken, and the hills in their woody dress shewed more and more near.
I wish that the Lord Advocate, or some modern counterpart of Braxfield, the hanging judge, would summon Susanna Crum as a witness in an important case. He would need his longest plummet to sound the depths of her consciousness. I have had no legal experience, but I can imagine the scene. "Is the prisoner your father, Susanna Crum?" "I cudna say, my lord."
I suppose you're dyin' with learning while my Hephzibah can't get schooling enough to read her own name. That's the way the world's made up!" "Isn't there a school at Crum Elbow?" said Daisy. "Isn't there! And isn't there a bench for the rags? No, my Hephzibah don't go to shew none." Mrs.
I propose to wait till Sunday, on the chance that Mr. Crum may write again. If we don't hear from him, I shall start for Scotland on Monday morning, and take my chance of finding my way to Miss Silvester, through Mrs. Glenarm." "Leaving me behind?" "Leaving you behind. Somebody must stay with Blanche. After having only been a fortnight married, must I remind you of that?" "Don't you think Mr.
"Young Crumpet is sent to school; takes to his books; spends the best years of his life in making Latin verses; knows that the Crum in Crumpet is long and the pet short; goes to the University; gets a prize for an Essay on the Dispersion of the Jews; takes Orders; becomes a bishop's chaplain; has a young nobleman for his pupil; publishes a useless classic and a Serious Call to the Unconverted; and then goes through the Elysian transitions of Prebendary, Dean, Prelate, and the long train of purple, profit, and power."
It was still not late in the afternoon; and Daisy drove on, past the Melbourne gates, and turned the corner into the road which led to Crum Elbow. The air was as clear as October could have it; and soft, neither warm nor cold; and the roads were perfect; and here and there a few yellow and red maple leaves, and in many places a brown stubble field, told that autumn was come.
