His house was next to the Aldens', where the Reagans now live, and Major Alden and General Wright were old friends, each anxious for the match. When Mary ran away at seventeen and married a man her father didn't know, I tell you Yorkburg was scared to death." "Do you remember it?" "Remember! I should think I did. I cried for two weeks. Nearly ruined my eyes.
In this way our pleasant vices are made instruments to plague us, and the condition of the law, which leaves the British authors at the mercy of the Aldens and Monros of the States, is beginning to react on the buyers of goods indelicately obtained.
Freddie that, she would let him understand that she didn't have to take Miss' Alden's lip, that she, at least, wasn't married to her, that she had some spirit left even if she was a widow woman. And that she wasn't dependent on the Aldens nor anybody else. That she was going to quit service of any kind day of week or month. She had a grand chance to open a window-cleaning emporium.
"No," she said, "you must only wear them to church." "I shall talk to father about that, when he comes here next." "Cassy, did Charlotte Alden speak to you to-day?" "No; but she made an acquaintance by stares." "Well, never mind her if she says anything unpleasant to you; the Aldens are a high set." "Are they higher than we are in Surrey?
In the months spent with Miss Gibbie, waiting for Tree Hill to be made ready to live in, there was the restless feeling that belongs to temporary arrangement, but now I am home; here to live and work, and the only shadow is that the big and little Aldens are not here, too.

"The next morning the officers being all ordered to meet together to consult about going to Vilboon's fort, and none amongst them being acquainted but the Aldens, who said the water in the river was very low so that they could not get up to the fort; and the prisoner Canton told the commander that what the Aldens said was true so concluded it was not practicable to proceed.
So a company was formed, at the head of which were the Aldens, George and Thomas, for opening Wales, and they purchased certain mines in these districts which they knew to be productive, and which might be made yet more so, and settling down here called themselves the Rheidol United.
Alden and his wife were then in South America. This visit was to fill in the time before the departure of a trans-Pacific liner which would land the Aldens at Manila. Presently the Abbey-Monohan camp and bungalow lay abeam. Stella told Mrs. Alden something of the place. "That reminds me," Mrs. Alden turned to her brother.
She was direct, bluntly so, and she was not much given to small talk. Fyfe and Stella met the Aldens at Roaring Springs with the Waterbug. Alden proved a genial sort of man past forty, a big, loose-jointed individual whose outward appearance gave no indication of what he was professionally, a civil engineer with a reputation that promised to spread beyond his native States.
