His back was scarcely turned, the boys were still responding cordially to his rather gruff "Good-night", when Cadbury drew the chicken forth and waved it triumphantly in his hand. Trevelyan, who was next the window, pulled the blind up silently. It was a brilliant moonlight night, so that gas was unneeded. "The cat has had her full share," Cadbury remarked sadly. "But never mind.
Trevelyan, and in a candid, ingenuous, and truly patriotic manner make himself on every possible occasion as disagreeable to the leaders of his party as he can.
As sometimes one hears remarks paid to beauty called forth by blushes, surely in this instance we can fairly claim the compliment due Fanny Trevelyan, whose maiden blushes indeed made her appear in truth very beautiful of the beauty which shall last when all other shall fade of the beauty which flows from the heart, kept fresh in the daily performance of those duties that spring from the impulses of a beautiful soul.
Trevelyan had at last allowed Priscilla to explain how it had come to pass that she had told her brother that it would be better both for her mother and for herself that the existing arrangements should be brought to an end, and there had come to be an agreement between them that they should all part in amity. But the conversation on the Sunday evening was very difficult.
Stanbury had in truth been altogether mistaken as to the state of his friend's mind on that morning. Trevelyan, although he had, according to his custom, put in a word in condemnation of the newspaper line of life, was at the moment thinking whether he would not tell all his trouble to Hugh Stanbury. He knew that he should not find anywhere, not even in Mr.
"Emily sent Jenny to me first to-day because she thought you would be home, and she didn't go up to dress till the last minute." This was intended well by Nora, but it did not have the desired effect. Trevelyan, who had no command over his own features, frowned, and showed that he was displeased.
Many like jokes were passed around by the incorrigible Charles Douglas, but to all Guy Trevelyan was invulnerable. He betrayed no sign of the inward tempest raging within, save by the almost imperceptible expression which had attracted the scrutinizing eye of the generous hearted Mr. Howe. The band of the 81st was a great source of amusement to the citizens.
You shall hear from me." "I suppose I'd better be keeping my eyes open about the Colonel's place, Mr. Trewillian?" "For God's sake, Trevelyan, do not have anything more to do with this man!" "That's all very well for you, Mr. S.," said Bozzle. "The lady ain't your wife." "Can you imagine anything more disgraceful than all this?" said Stanbury. "Nothing; nothing; nothing!" answered Trevelyan.
Emily had gone up-stairs for the boy; and Mrs. Outhouse, suspecting nothing, had followed her. "Miss Rowley," said he, getting up from his seat, "if you think it will do any good I will follow Trevelyan till I find him." "How can you find him? Besides, why should you give up your own business?" "I would do anything to serve your sister."
Trevelyan could perceive at once that the authority which he had once respected had gone from the man. Bozzle away from his own home, out on business, with his coat buttoned over his breast, and his best hat in his hand, was aware that he commanded respect, and he could carry himself accordingly.
