This morning when I was urging her to tell me what grieved her, she remarked that there was but one person to whom she could communicate this sorrow her rector. So, my dear Dr Stuart, I have sent for you. I will conduct you to my child, and I leave her in your hands. Whatever comfort and consolation you can offer, I know will be given.
"After father's death, when I gave up the old home, I lost track of the Montroses; but I seem to remember that old Montrose went to the happy hunting grounds and left a widow, but no children. I imagine these people are wealthy, as Montrose was considered a successful banker. I'll write to Duggins and inquire about them." "Duggins seems to know everything," remarked Louise.
"If you want to take Brown's place, say so," remarked the widow, in a business-like tone. Bill Crane was staggered by the promptness with which his hint was taken, but did not hesitate to follow it up. "That's what I mean," he said. "What's your name, stranger?" "William Crane." "You haven't got another wife anywhere, have you?" "Of course not." "I've got to take your word for it, I s'pose.
"I think," said Lady Eynesford, "that we may congratulate ourselves on a very happy way of getting out of the results of Dick's folly." "I can't think that Dick said anything really serious," remarked Eleanor. "So much depends on how people understand things," observed Lady Eynesford.
It would be much easier just to go and have it over with, she remarked, than to stay away and explain her absence. She said this in a way that would lead you to believe that it had cost her much effort to come to her decision. “Certainly, go!” said Daniel. “I have already advised you to do it myself.”
But after the decision of "stick" had been passed unanimously, the Critic, who was a bit of a sentimentalist, and if he were anything else was a Norman Angel-lite, stuck his hands in his pockets, and remarked: "After all, it is perfectly safe to stay, especially now that England is coming in." "You think so?" said the Doctor. "Sure," smiled the Critic.
A moment later he was exchanging the most cordial of greetings with his old friend. "You have the knack, my dear de Grost," he remarked, "of turning up in the most surprising places. I certainly did not know that amongst your many accomplishments was included a love for field sports." Peter smiled quietly. He was a very fine shot, and knew it. "One must amuse oneself these days," he said.
Lightfoot remarked to his friend Morgan; and announced that he should go down to my Lady, and be butler there, and marry his old woman.
Whoever falls below this standard, and, not unfrequently, whoever also rises above it, offending against this general rule, suffers proportionably in the general estimation. Thus a regard for character, which, as was formerly remarked, is commonly the grand governing principle among men, becomes to a certain degree, though no farther, an incitement to morality and virtue.
"Guess they've had enough," remarked Rupert Wilmshurst, who notwithstanding his weak state had played a strong part in the defence. "Doubt it," replied his brother. "Perhaps they won't make another frontal attack while daylight lasts, but when it's dark they'll try their luck." The hours passed slowly.
