I drove over to Tidhurst to see the work, and it was very sound and well done. If you did that, I can at least trust you to do something at the Court which will prove to me what you are equal to. I want a Stornham man to undertake this." "No Tidhurst man," said Joe Buttle, with sudden courage, "nor yet no Barnhurst, nor yet no Yangford, nor Wratcham shall do it, if I can look it in the face.
It sometimes looked like it. Was she a bit less stiff and shy-like and frightened in her way? Buttle mentioned to his friends at The Clock that he was sure of it. She had begun to look a man in the face when she talked, and more than once he had heard her laugh at things her sister said.
But at that I'll have to admit he's the best man on the rancho to-day." He threw a teasing look at Honor, glowing and misty-eyed over Jimsy's championing of the oppressed. "The only trouble is, I suppose Jimsy will take him with him when he sets up housekeeping for himself. What do you think, Maddy? Could Yaqui Juan be taught to buttle?"
It's Stornham work and Stornham had ought to have it. It gives me a brace-up to hear of it." The tall young lady laughed beautifully and got up. "Come to the Court to-morrow morning at ten, and we will look it over together," she said. "Good-morning, Buttle." And she went away.
Buttle, with a smirk; 'I think this little bit of music it was got up, you know, by that old quiz, Dowager Lady Chelford was really not so bad a rather good idea, after all, Miss Lake. Don't you? Poor Mr.
If you can do that, the work is still passing through your hands, and Stornham will reap the benefit of it. Your workmen will lodge at the cottages and spend part of their wages at the shops, and you who are a Stornham workman will earn the money to be made out of a rather large contract." Joe Buttle became quite hot.
Buttle, if he had chanced to see them, would have broken into a light perspiration at the idea of a young woman having compiled the documents. He had never heard of the first Reuben Vanderpoel. Her father's reply to Betty was as long as her own to him, and gave her keen pleasure by its support, both of sympathetic interest and practical advice.
Jenny Buttle would have believed that her ladyship's rich American sister could do anything she chose, open any door, command any presence, sweep aside any obstacle with a wave of her hand. But of the two, Jenny Buttle's path would have laid straighter before her.
'Oh! said Buttle, whose smirk vanished on the instant in a very red and dismal vacancy, 'I I'm afraid he'll think me shockingly rude. And in a minute more Buttle was gone. Miss Lake again looked down upon the page, and as she did so, Lord Chelford turned and said 'You are a worshipper of Tom Moore, Miss Lake? 'An admirer, perhaps certainly no worshipper. Yet, I can't say.
And she sort o' screamed out, "Where would I git a coachman to drive for me or a butler?" "Drive yourself," sez I sternly, "and buttle too; if that is so, but I don't believe it." But she still looked most wild with excitement and horrow, and agin she sez, "It would take away every man in the world! and what would we do for men?" sez she.
