"You alwus lived in the city?" he said at last. "It has always been my home," was the reply. "What put it in your head to come up here?" with another stare. "It was at Mr. Harum's suggestion," replied John, not with perfect candor; but he was not minded to be drawn out too far. "D'ye know Dave?" "I have never met him." Mr. Timson looked more puzzled than ever. "Ever ben in the bankin' bus'nis?"
"I'm terribly anxious about Mildred, Ian, and Miss Timson has not said anything to make me less so. I want a sound, sensible opinion on the state of her her nerves." Ian's brow clouded. "Tell me frankly, do you notice so great a difference in her from time to time, as to account for the positively insane delusion she has got into her head?"
Look at men. Still, walking will do, if one takes proper walks. I hope Flora Timson takes you good long walks." "Indeed she does!" cried Milly. "Immense! She walks a dreadful pace, and we get over stiles and things." "Immense is a little vague. How far do you go on an average?" Mildred's notions of distance were vague. "Quite two miles, I'm sure," she responded, cheerfully.
That's the feller that's ousted Chet Timson, an' I'll bet ye the drinks on't. Name's Linx or Lenx, or somethin' like that. Dave told me." "So that's the feller, is it?" said Bill. "I guess he won't stay 'round here long. I guess you'll find he's a little too toney fer these parts, an' in pertic'ler fer Dave Harum. Dave'll make him feel 'bout as comf'table as a rooster in a pond.
The distant groaning of the violoncello ceased; footsteps were heard on the stairs; and Mr. Timson presented himself, and shook hands with Parsons with the utmost cordiality. Walker, with a pale young creetur like that, hanging about him?—It’s enough to drive any man’s heart into his boots to see ’em together—and no mistake at all about it.
Mildred had written her a note, but it was hardly posted when the door was flung open and Miss Timson was formally announced by the parlor-maid. Tony, who was looking at pictures with his mother, rose from her side, prepared to take a hop, skip, and jump and land with his arms around Tims's waist. But he stopped short and contemplated her with round-eyed solemnity.
Timson, with a regiment of under gardeners, and daily increasing knowledge of his profession, could continue to direct, though years rolled by. But to such fortune he had not dared to aspire. One of the lodges might be put in order for him to live in. He might have the hothouses to put in order, too; he might have implements, plants, shrubs, even some of the newer books to consult.
"For," sez I softly, "the hull future time is left for us to weep in, but the present wuz the time to try to help Ralph S. Robinson." Josiah and I took care on him all that night, Miss Timson refusin' to give him into the charge of underlin's, and we a-offerin' and not to be refused. Wall, Josiah slept some, or that is, I s'poze he did.
Lieutenant-Commander Denton and Lieutenant Timson of the Marine Corps put off in launches numbers two and three with sixty marines and forty bluejackets. From the other warships detachments put off at the same time. One cutter, occupied by fourteen marines, put off from one of the men-of-war and was rowed ashore at high speed. These men quickly landed at No.1 Dock.
Timson rose from his seat when he had concluded the note, and looked dubiously at Parsons. ‘May I ask,’ he inquired, appealing to Watkins Tottle, ‘whether our friend here is acquainted with the object of your visit?’ ‘Our friend is in my confidence,’ replied Watkins, with considerable importance.
