I want to see the one I was in, see from the sidewalk the kind of human beings who are in it, and what they are doing with their time and energies and opportunities and knowledge and preparedness and oh, with all the things that make their position in life a more responsible one than than the people's down here." "Was it necessary to come to Scarborough Square to watch your parade?
"I see you're going to live by the clock," he called out presently. He had found, pasted to the wall, Scarborough's schedule of the daily division of his time; just above it, upon a shelf, was a new alarm clock, the bell so big that it overhung like a canopy. "You don't mean you're going to get up at four?" "Every morning all winter," replied Scarborough, without stopping his unpacking.
"Why," I asked myself, "do our people go to Ramsgate, Southend, Herne Bay, and even Scarborough, when there is such a splendid seaside place as this to come to?" Had a game of single-handed poker with one of the Trekkers, and beat him hollow. Not at first, of course, out of politeness; but at game No. 3 he was nowhere. Bless him, I knew a "trek" worth any three of his.
Thus the journey side by side for fifty-one years was a journey no longer. They were asleep side by side on the hillside for ever. Hampden stayed at home only one day after the funeral. He came back to Battle Field apparently unchanged. He was not in black, for Bladen Scarborough abhorred mourning as he abhorred all outward symbols of the things of the heart.
The castle was badly damaged by their fire; the town itself came next, the Grand Hotel coming in for its share of destruction.

Half an hour afterward the two cruisers which had fired upon Scarborough appeared off Whitby and began to fire at the signal station there.
I have no concern whatever with him or his money, though I hope I hope that I may always have much with you. Oh, Florence, you surely have known what has been within my heart." To this appeal she made no response, but sat awhile considering what she would say respecting Mountjoy Scarborough and his affairs. "Am I to keep all this a secret?" she asked him at last.
I know they're unjust and mean, which is worse. But, damn it, Scarborough, I HATE being beaten. And it doesn't make defeat any the easier because YOU did it." He paused; but Scarborough did not speak. "I'm going to be frank," Pierson went on with an effort. "I know you had a perfect right to do as you pleased, but hang it all, old man you might have warned me."
So they collected Dennison and Smythe and Allison and Carroll and Scarborough, and marched up the corridor—humorously tramping in step—to Irving’s door. There Westby, newspaper in hand, knocked. Irving opened the door. “Mr.
"My dear," he said, "just come in here for two minutes." "I am on my way up to my aunt." "I know it, my dear. Lady Mountjoy has been talking it all over with me. Upon my word you can't do anything better than take young Anderson." "I can't do that, Uncle Magnus." "Why not? There's poor Mountjoy Scarborough, he has gone astray." "There is no question of my cousin." "And Augustus is no better."
His family were staying for the summer at Scarborough, and his sisters wrote him enthusiastic accounts of the lawn-tennis parties there. How could he present himself in decent society, with one of his eyes in mourning?
