Van Horne had not supposed that the bad news would have affected her so deeply, nor was Mary Van Alstyne prepared for the result; but however Elinor might have hitherto deceived herself, however much her friends might have misunderstood her, the truth was now only too clear; her heart had spoken too loudly to be misunderstood it was wholly Hazlehurst's.
Van thrust his into his pockets, and seemed on the point of whistling, but remembering where he was, took his lips speedily out of their curves, and looked the other way. Just then Mr. Alstyne came up. "Oh!" cried Polly suddenly, the color rushing over her face. "Could you, Mr. Alstyne, give that to some one else? Percy and Van are going to wait upon me." "Yes, indeed," said Mr.
Sam came to me and leaned over the counter. "Put the key in a drawer," he said. "I can slip down here after the lights are out and get a smoke." "Can't do it, Mr. Van Alstyne," I said. "Got positive orders." "That doesn't include me." He was still perfectly good-humored. "Sorry," I said. "Have to have a written order from Mr. Pierce."
But even that was none of nature's doing. A Mexican with a knife was solely responsible. Yet, worse than all of these disappointments is the fact that his name was not Gerald Van Alstyne. No, indeed. The Leading Man owned to the plain, homely, unromantic patronymic of Bob McGraw.
I've seen them fast before, and when a fat man starts to live on his own fat, like a bear, he gets about the same disposition. Mrs. Biggs started back, but Miss Cobb waited a moment at the foot of the steps. "Mr. Van Alstyne is back," she said, "but he came alone." "Alone!" I repeated, staring at her in a sort of daze. "Alone," she said solemnly, "and I heard him ask for Mr. Carter.
ELINOR was all anxiety to learn the result of the interview; and Mary Van Alstyne also naturally felt much interest in the subject, as she, too, was a cousin of William Stanley, their mothers having been sisters.
Fisher said to Selden with a laugh; and Stepney spluttered, amid the general derision: "But she's a cousin, hang it, and when a man's married TOWN TALK was full of her this morning." "Yes: lively reading that was," said Mr. Ned Van Alstyne, stroking his moustache to hide the smile behind it. "Buy the dirty sheet? No, of course not; some fellow showed it to me but I'd heard the stories before.
Sam, hanging up his overcoat with one hand, and trying to put the bottle in one of the pockets with the other. Mrs. Sam didn't look at her. "Good morning, Mrs. Van Alstyne!" Miss Summers almost threw it at her. "I spoke to you before; I guess you didn't hear me." "Oh, yes, I heard you," answered Mrs. Sam, and turned her back on her. Give me a little light-haired woman for sheer devilishness!
The two Marchbanks houses were very gay this summer. The married daughter of one family Mrs. Reyburne was at home from New York, and had brought a very fascinating young Mrs. Van Alstyne with her. Roger Marchbanks, at the other house, had a couple of college friends visiting him; and both places were merry with young girls, several sisters in each family, always.
"Oh! oh! I must go to them," she cried remorsefully. "Tell Mr. Alstyne, please, when he comes back, where I am," and without another word she dashed back of some gaily dressed ladies just entering the supper room, and was out of the door. "If I ever did!" cried Alexia irritably to herself, "see anything so queer! Now she thinks she must race after those boys. I wish I'd kept still.
