After an evening at Mr Bradshaw's, when Jemima had gone to the very verge of questioning or disputing some of her father's severe judgments, Mr Farquhar went home in a dissatisfied, restless state of mind, which he was almost afraid to analyse.
But what could be God's purpose in electing one of his servants to indifference and absence of affection where he had a right to expect it? Could anybody be better for not being loved? Even Zachariah could not think it possible. But Mr. Bradshaw's words again recurred. Who was he that he should question God's designs?
He certainly looked very hard at me from under his travelling-cap, with his half-shut cunning eyes. I had in my hand "Bradshaw's Railway Guide," which he asked to see. At the way stations he kept constantly inquiring the distance to Carlisle, and I sorely suspected he meant to "peach." He did not, however, though I still think he must have known me.
Stryker swigged off his rum and wiped his lips with the back of a red paw, hesitating a moment to watch his guest. "Mykes it seem more 'ome-like for you, I expect," he observed. "What do you mean?" "W'y, Bradshaw's first-cousin to a halmanack, ain't 'e? Can't get one, take t'other next best thing.
Yes, I wept." That was such a tremendous thing to think of, and especially to speak of in Mr. Bradshaw's presence, for the most pathetic image in the world to many women is that of themselves in tears, that it brought a return of the same overflow, which served as a substitute for conversation until Miss Badlam entered the apartment. Miss Cynthia followed the same general course of remark.
"Indeed; well, I'm in demi-toilette, and must remain so, for I cannot go all the way back to Mrs Bradshaw's to dress." "He is a very handsome young man, is he not, Valerie?" "Yes," replied I, "and of large fortune, too." "Well, I shall not have a fair chance, then," said Adele, "for go back I cannot."
Let me advise you as a friend, my lord, to tell at once, and truthfully," said the duke, toying negligently with the thumb-screws. "It is buried at the north corner of the old wall at the head of Bradshaw's grave. You shall have that and a thousandfold more if you'll only pardon " "Enough!" broke in the dwarf, with the look and tone of an exultant demon. "That is all we want!
Roberts, whose attention was attracted at the same moment, informed him that another motor-car was coming up behind. Then, to quote Mr. Bradshaw's own words, 'Thinking the other chap was on for a race, I did everything I knew to get every ounce out of my motor.
Let me give an illustration of what I will call the opposing methods of education. We will suppose, for the sake of argument, that the only available book for the instruction of a class of boys was that excellent but abstruse work known as 'Bradshaw's Railway Guide. The modern schoolmaster would draw up an exhaustive and complicated scheme.
Ruth rose early, and shared the household work with Sally and Miss Benson till seven; and then she helped Leonard to dress, and had a quiet time alone with him till prayers and breakfast. At nine she was to be at Mr Bradshaw's house.
