"You see," he shrugged, "I don't wear well." They reached the hall and she gave him her fingers. "I wish you all the happiness in the world," he said quietly. She glanced at him quickly. "I'm always happy. You mean " "Your engagement to Mr. Armistead." Her lips curved demurely. "Oh, of course Reggie and I will get along we'll manage somehow but a month is a long while "
Shot down with the pointblank question, the tall young man, whose coat was so extremely polished at the elbows, died game, saying with sudden gentleness: "No, it was my Uncle Armistead." And then there was no sound but the steady beat of the rain upon sidewalk and roofs ... Upstairs, just a floor and a ceiling away, Mrs.
They concentrated upon my left centre, continuing without intermission for about three hours, at the expiration of which time he assaulted my left centre twice, being, upon both occasions, handsomely repulsed with severe loss to them, leaving in our hands nearly three thousand prisoners. Among the prisoners are Major-General Armistead, and many colonels and officers of lesser note.
His white hair was arranged with scrupulous nicety; his pink face, as unwrinkled as his immaculate attire, was beaming with good humor. "Well, boys, I'm the pay-car," he smiled. "Hammon came through, eh?" Sullivan inquired, eagerly. "Not exactly; we compromised. Quick sales and small profits; that's business." "How strong did he go?" queried Armistead.
The tennis courts seemed to be the center of interest and in a corner of the terrace which faced the bay were some people taking tea and watching a match of singles between Reggie Armistead and their hostess. The chauffeur took the suit case to the butler and Olga Tcherny led the way to the tea table where Phyllis Van Vorst was pouring tea.
Armistead had once been famed in vaudeville for dancing, but the drug habit had destroyed his endurance, and with it his career. "She's a perfect thirty-six, all right. She could rip a lot of coin loose if she tried." At this moment Mr. Melcher, freshly perfumed and talcumed, entered the room.
He was not a man who made friends rapidly, and the three or four people whom he might have cared to cultivate had other fish to fry to-night and were not frying them on the terrace. Olga, it seemed, had no intention of returning and Hermia Challoner was doubtless already in that happy phase of experimentation so warmly advocated by Reggie Armistead.
General Armistead, who was in Florida when General Taylor left the army by permission, assumed the command, and after active summer operations was met by propositions for peace, and from the fortunate coincidence of the arrival in Florida at the same period of a delegation from the Seminoles who are happily settled west of the Mississippi and are now anxious to persuade their countrymen to join them there hopes were for some time entertained that the Indians might be induced to leave the Territory without further difficulty.
Markham," chortled Miss Van Vorst. "I'm afraid you'll have to put up with the Philistines for a while. Hermia's beating Reggie Armistead at tennis, and it's as much as one's life is worth to interrupt." "That's no joke," said Archie Westcott, who was watching the game. "Some tennis, that. They're one set all and Hermia just broke through Reggie's service. That makes it five four."
He then took up in his arms and kissed not me, his own child in his best frock with clean face and well-arranged curls but my little playmate, Armistead! I remember nothing more of any circumstances connected with that time, save that I was shocked and humiliated. I have no doubt that he was at once informed of his mistake and made ample amends to me.
