"So sorry! Good-bye!" He looked after her as she drove off. She sat erect, her head straight to the front, her trim shoulders erect, and the whip grasped firmly. He stood motionless until the fat pony had jolted sleepily around the corner. "Bines, old boy!" he said to himself, "you nearly made one of yourself there. I didn't know you had such ready capabilities for being an ass."
I'll put you in the way of it, and you can cut out my granddaughter." "I must think about it. Suppose I plunge in copper, and your tip isn't straight. I've seen hard times, Mr. Bines, in my life. I haven't always wore sealskin and diamonds." "Mrs. Wybert, you was in Montana long enough to know how I stand there?" "I know you're A1, and your word's as good as another man's money.
Prominent in her manner was a helpless little confession of inadequacy to her ambitions that made her personality engaging. To be energetic and friendly, and deeply absorbed in people who were bold and confident, was her attitude. She began bubbling at once to Mrs. Bines and Psyche of the latest fashions for mourners.
Errol who does those fascinating miniatures of all the smart people. Excuse me one moment, my dear; I want her to meet your mother." The fashionable miniature artist was presently arranging with the dazed Mrs. Bines for miniatures of herself and Psyche. Mrs. Drelmer, beholding the pair with the satisfied glance of one who has performed a kindly action, resumed her tete-a-tete with Psyche.
Thank heaven! thus far no Bines has ever candled an egg and as for driving butter " he stopped, with a shudder of extreme repugnance. "And here's a notice about the excursions of the St. John's Guild. I've been on four already, and I want you to get me back to New York right away for the others.
So little congruous was the family of Bines in root, branch, and blossom, that it might, indeed, be taken to picture an epic of Western life as the romancer would tell it.
I looked at him. It was clear that he had no notion what he was saying. The dark-green bines were covered with fruit; and only yesterday he himself had informed me that he had not seen such a profusion of hops for many years. I did not answer, and we walked on. A cart met us in a dip of the road, and the carter touched his hat and greeted Mr. Oke.
He arose and looked about him, and saw where, a hundred yards aloof, was a thicket of small wood, as thorn and elder and whitebeam, all wreathed about with the bines of wayfaring tree; it hid a bight of the stream, which turned round about it, and betwixt it and Walter was the grass short and thick, and sweet, and all beset with flowers; and he said to himself that it was even such a place as wherein the angels were leading the Blessed in the great painted paradise in the choir of the big church at Langton on Holm.
The young man, not without embarrassment, drew forth a Russia leather card-case which the old man took from him as one having authority. "Here you are, Marthy Bines!" he exclaimed, handing her a card; "here you are! read it! Mr. P. Percival Bines. Now don't you feel proud of havin' stuck out for Percival when you see it in cold print?
Bines, the Street's never known anything like it. Here are those matters." He handed the old man a dozen or so certified checks on as many different banks. Each check had many figures on it. Uncle Peter placed them in his old leather wallet. "I knew he'd plunge," he said, taking the chair proffered him, near Shepler's desk.
