What are you smiling at, Mr. Yates?" Drusilla naturally supposed she could answer that question. "Dearest little sister," she said shyly and tenderly, "we have something very wonderful to tell you."
Everybody was growing weary of indecision, and the first idea with everybody was, that nothing had been proposed before so likely to suit them all. Mr. Yates was particularly pleased: he had been sighing and longing to do the Baron at Ecclesford, had grudged every rant of Lord Ravenshaw's, and been forced to re-rant it all in his own room.
Will not it be right for me to go too?" but they were no sooner through the door than Henry Crawford undertook to answer the anxious inquiry, and, encouraging him by all means to pay his respects to Sir Thomas without delay, sent him after the others with delighted haste. Fanny was left with only the Crawfords and Mr. Yates.
Yates extricated himself slowly and reluctantly from the hammock, and looked regretfully at it when he stood once more on the ground. "This mad struggle for bread, professor, is the curse of life here below. It is what we are all after. If it were not for the necessity of bread and clothing, what a good time a fellow might have. Well, my blessing, Renny. Good-by."
Bet you a dollar on it!" And the frivolous Yates poked the professor in the ribs. "Richard," said the latter, "I can stand only a certain amount of this sort of thing.

His quick, mechanical eye measured the length and every peculiarity of the signatures. He spent so much time upon them that even the court grew impatient.

Yates and Lansing, two of the three delegates from the prominent State of New York, went home for the same reason.
"Blessed if I know. Hiram says we did. I told him once that we got what we wanted from old England, and he nearly hauled me over the bar. So I give you the warning, if you want to get along with him." "Thank you. I'll remember it. So long."
