I carried in Bill Collins, and Lou Harvey and huh! 'sall over now. You ain't seen no wrecks. Don't ever think you have. I was here the night the Jennie Snow was out there. The sand has put his place on the blink all right. And then when it gets too God-for-saken for a life-savin' station, a lady takes it for a summer residence and then spends the winter. She's a cheerful one.
I hope a Carvel never has to be rebuffed twice, nor to be humbled by craving an explanation before a company. I was confounded that Patty should treat me thus, when I had done nothing to deserve it. As I made for the door, burning and indignant, I felt as tho' every eye in the room was upon me. Young Harvey drove me that night. "Marlboro' Street, Mr. Richard?" said he.
I do not know for certain that they did, but they said things very like it. The first point was to show that Harvey's views were absolutely untrue; and not being able to succeed in that, opponents said they were not new; and not being able to succeed in that, that they didn't matter. That is the usual course with all new discoveries. But Harvey troubled himself very little about these things.
There he is, Jack!" he exclaimed all at once, fairly gasping with excitement. "Who is?" asked Harvey. "The man-eating tiger," cried Tim. "It says so on the cage." Harvey chuckled. "I'd like to throw you in there, Tim," he said. "He'd be scared to death of you. Here's the real thing coming, though. Say, what do you think of that?"
He had said he was going to go round and have a good time, and he was losing no time. But in their restricted social life, where most of the men worked until five o'clock or even later, there were fewer afternoon calls paid. Belle wondered with mild sisterly curiosity into what arena Harvey was about to fling his best hat.
'Then why did not Jones Harvey weigh in with a letter to Nature? 'Jones Harvey has a scientific reputation to look after, and knows he would be laughed at. That's the kind of hair-pin he is, said Bude, quoting Miss McCabe. 'By Jove, Merton, that girl and he paused. 'Yes, she is pretty, said Merton. 'Pretty!
For it should be remembered that the return of the blood by the veins was unknown, and nothing like a "circulation" more than vaguely conceived even by Harvey himself. Once it could be shown that the veins were constantly returning blood to the heart, the discovery that the blood in some way passes from the arteries to the veins was only a short step.
We know very well that he did accumulate a very considerable number of observations on the most varied topics of medicine, surgery, and natural history. But, as I mentioned to you just now, Harvey, for a time, took the royal side in the domestic quarrel of the Great Rebellion, as it is called; and the Parliament, not unnaturally resenting that action of his, sent soldiers to seize his papers.
"Well, we stood there, me and Mary, strainin' our eyes tryin' to see into the dark corners, and all at once the meanin' of it come over me like a flash: Harvey was a miser!" Aunt Jane stopped, took off her glasses and polished them on the hem of her gingham apron.
And now, looking at the woman, she saw what Trevison had seen staring back at her, naked and repulsive. She shuddered, and her face whitened. "There are hotels at Manti, Mrs. Harvey," she said coldly. "Oh, very well!" The woman did not change her smile. "I shall be very glad to take advantage of your kind invitation.
