"Have you noticed a yacht in the harbor? the flag is a gold mountain on a red field." "Yes, the little peanut-shell," he said, disdainfully, "which is called the Ice Bird." "Yes, the Ice Bird. This peanut-shell, as you call it, starts to-morrow morning for Algeria. Whether it intends to stop at Bona or Algiers I do not know. You would do well to find out." "I will do so," said Wharton.
A man I know wanted to let them for one year, just as they are, and offered them to me for £450, if I could pay the money in advance, at the moment. And so I paid it." "You have taken them, then?" said Mr. Wharton. "Is it all settled?" said Emily, almost with disappointment. "I have paid the money, and I have so far taken them. But it is by no means settled.
In the Commons an address of thanks was moved by Wharton, faintly opposed by Musgrave, adopted without a division, and carried up by the whole House to Kensington. At the palace the loyalty of the crowd of gentlemen showed itself in a way which would now be thought hardly consistent with senatorial gravity.
I am sure he will be delighted to meet you again, Miss Wharton, said the junior partner politely. 'But I don't want to meet him! Stella exclaimed impulsively, and then stopped.
"I saw your light and just dropped round to see if you had everything you wanted." Rushing to the door, Ted threw it open. "I haven't begun to go to bed yet," returned he. "I've been too excited. How kind of you to come!" "Curiosity! Curiosity!" responded the man hastily. Although Ted knew well that the comment was a libel, he laughed as Mr. Wharton came in, drawing the door together behind him.
Carstairs was there, a bandage about his head, and Wharton was with him, his shoulder yet sore from the path that a bullet had made through it. It was decreed that while these friends of John's should receive many wounds, all of them were to survive the great war.
Bob answered smoothly: "Certainly I understand; you think ninety dollars is too much for a suit. Perhaps I can show you something in scarfs of an exclusive design?" "Don't be funny!" growled his father. "Really, dad, you'd better go. That suit of yours is a sight. Somebody may think we made it for you." Mr. Wharton remained silent for a moment.
"I do," said Wharton, smiling again. "Mayn't I for the present do what I will with mine own? I return in their wages some of my ill-gotten gains as a landowner. It is all makeshift, of course." "I understand!" exclaimed Marcella, nodding to him "you could not be a Venturist and keep up game-preserving?" Wharton met her bright eye with a half deprecating, reserved air.
Then, as there was no longer anything to hinder the advance of Kershaw on the left, and of Gordon on the rear, while Wharton and the forty guns of Early's artillery were beginning their work in front, from the left toward the right, successively the brigades of the Nineteenth Corps began to give way; yet as they drifted toward the right and rear, in that stress the men held well to their colors, and although there may and must have been many that fell out, not a brigade or a regiment lost its organization for a moment.
A rumor of the odd character of the priest had spread from the sentinel at the door to his comrades; so that when Harvey and Wharton reached the open space before the building, they found a dozen idle dragoons loitering about with the waggish intention of quizzing the fanatic, and employed in affected admiration of the steeds.
