"I suspect Conrad and his father will be disappointed," he said to himself. "The city man will have to look elsewhere for an investment." One day Andy had a pleasant surprise.

Until two years since I was employed in an insurance office in the city. The death of an uncle has made me pecuniarily independent, so that I had leisure to be sick." "You look in good health now." "Yes; but I have a nervous temperament, and am obliged to be careful. Now tell me about yourself. You have been for some time at Penhurst Academy?" "Yes; for two years." "Do you go back there?"
Penhurst to fall in love with. He's from Worcester, Massachusetts." Mrs. Tate's hand went up and her eyes rolled ceilingward. "What he thinks of this part of the world wouldn't do to be written out!" "And what we think of his wouldn't, either!" Miss Lizzie Bettie Pryor's head nodded so emphatically at Mrs. Tate that the latter sat down.

"Now," said the thane, "we will not spoil the earl's jest, but must even let him think that all has been his doing thus." "Why, he will see us start for Penhurst, and if Uldra is not there " "Aye, but she will be. She is coming gladly," Relf said. "How is this?" I asked.

From the time of the flying of these telegrams, up to the tap of Victor's knuckle on her bed-room door next morning, she was not more reflectively conscious than a packet travelling to its destination by pneumatic tube.
Penhurst Academy was an endowed school. On account of the endowments, the annual rate to boarding scholars was very reasonable only three hundred dollars, including everything. The academy had a fine reputation, which it owed in large part to the high character and gifts of Dr. Crabb, who had been the principal for twenty-five years.
But I know not if she would be pleased with me as I am now." Ailwin looked up quickly at me, and then said: "One cannot tell. Maybe she thinks the same concerning you and your thought of her." Then I told the good man of that plan which the lady of Penhurst had made when we spoke of the same doubt, and he laughed thereat, which did not please me. So I said: "Well, then, let me see her."
