How long ago it seems since we took that stupid walk together on Mr. Burleigh's piazza! We are nearer together now, Miss Ida, than we were then." "Oh! no, indeed," she replied quickly; "I had your arm on that occasion." "But you have my sincere friendship and respect now. I can't tell you how pleased I was when I saw how you had honored the little emblematic flower I gave you this morning.
We designed giving you an ovation when you came down." "Will you please pass me the bread in its place, Mr. Van Berg?" she replied in her former piquant, mirthful way. "With the appetite that is coming back to me, one of Mr. Burleigh's good dinners is far more to my taste than an ovation which I now decline with thanks."
Burleigh's office, requesting that the light phaeton and a safe horse, such as she could drive, should be sent around to he door at once. "Miss Ida, you've not been well. Do you think you had better go out in the heat of the day?" asked Mr. Burleigh, kindly. She looked at him a moment, and then said, a little impulsively, "Mr. Burleigh, I thank you for speaking to me in that way.
You know it was all ordered on Burleigh's urging and representations, do you not?" "Yes, I heard so," said Folsom. "What then?" "You know he planned the whole business sent 'em around by Cañon Springs and the Sweetwater?" "Yes, I heard that, too," said Folsom, still wondering.
But Philip Sidney was too true a gentleman not to be a simple-hearted man; and although he was even then one of the most accomplished as well as fortunate youths in England, he writes to Lord Burleigh to confess with "heavy grief" that in scholarship he can neither satisfy Burleigh's expectation nor his own desire.
Omaha Stone became gradually convinced that Loring was in partial possession of the secret of Burleigh's stampede. Unless Stone was utterly in error, Loring had seen somewhere before the handwriting of the superscription of the envelope Burleigh had dropped in his nerveless collapse. But Stone might as well have cross-questioned the sphinx. Loring would admit nothing.
Get out of it now by a gentleman's honor." Behind the speech was Lloyd Fenneben himself, sympathetic, firm, upright, before whom the harshness of Victor Burleigh's face slowly gave place to an expression of sorrow. "My boy," Fenneben said gently, "Nature gave us the Walnut Valley with its limestone ledges and fine forest trees.
He really came and dawdled with us all day long; he had not written a line of his review of Burleigh's Life, and he shrank from beginning on such a great work. I asked him to put it by for the present, and write a light article on novels. This he seemed to think he should like, and said he could get up an article on Richardson in a very short time, but he knew of no book that he could hang it on.
"If her looks express all this, my dear Tinto," replied I, interrupting him, "your pencil rivals the dramatic art of Mr. Puff in The Critic, who crammed a whole complicated sentence into the expressive shake of Lord Burleigh's head."
He insisted on not giving this in any hurry, and as my coming home has brought me a mass of things to consider, I have not been prompt about it." Fenneben put a small package into Burleigh's hands. "Examine it here, if you care to. You can fasten the door when you leave. Goodby!" and he was gone. Victor sat down and opened the package.
