The girl seemed to have ceased to listen, was apparently watching the dancers, Arkwright continued to gaze at his friend, to admire the impressive, if obviously posed, effect of his handsome head and shoulders. He smiled with a tender expression, as one smiles at the weakness of those one loves. Suddenly he said: "By Jove, Rita just the thing!"
Arkwright demanded more evidence of pains and industry than Jack was wont to bestow on his sketches or designs. He resented his exclusion, and made many efforts to induce his mother to accept his hasty productions; but it was not till the summer to which I alluded that Jack took his place in the "Household Album."
He likes the sort of popular wave that carries him along with it where every one can see him; he doesn't fancy being hurled up on the beach with his mouth full of sand." "You are saying that he is selfish, self-seeking?" Arkwright demanded with a challenge in his voice. "I thought you were his friend."
But now that he had seen Margaret, had come to appreciate her through studying her as a possible wife for his unattached friend Arkwright, now that he had discovered her secret, her love for him how could he fit her into his career? Was it possible? Was it wise? "The best is none too good for me," said he to himself swaggeringly. No doubt about it no, indeed, not the slightest.
Believe me, Grant, you don't understand women. They don't like you delicate fellows. They like a man like me a pawer of the ground a snorter a warhorse that cries ha-ha among the trumpets." "The worst thing about what you say," replied Arkwright sourly, "is that it's the truth.
He seemed to regard him with a certain deference which Arkwright judged was due to some fixed position the young man held, either of social or of political value. "I do not know," said Stanton with consideration, "that I am prepared to advocate the annexation of the island. It is a serious problem."
"I've a competent valet," said Arkwright. "And your idea of a wife seems to be a sort of sublimated valet and nurse." "I can conceive of no greater dignity than to take care of a real man and his children," replied Craig. "However, the dignity of the service depends upon the dignity of the person to whom it is rendered and upon the dignity of the person who renders it."
Since then he had seen but little of her, partly because he did not wish to see her, and partly because his time was so fully occupied. Then, too, in a round-about way he had heard a rumor that Calderwell was engaged to be married; and, though no feminine name had been mentioned in connection with the story, Arkwright had not hesitated to supply in his own mind that of Alice Greggory.
Telford, the Eskdale shepherd, was a man of literary taste, and was especially friendly with the typical man of letters, Southey. Others, of course, were of a lower type. Arkwright combined the talents of an inventor with those of a man of business. He made a great fortune, and founded a county family. Others rose in the same direction. The Peels, for example, represented a line of yeomen.
And then, at last, that day's work was also over, and Fanny Arkwright slipped from her pillion down into her husband's arms at the door of another rancho in the forest. Here there lived a large family adding from year to year to the patch of ground which they had rescued from the wood, and valiantly doing their part in the extension of civilisation.
