At the end of the village were the park gates, and the park, a solitary, green place with noble trees, was my favourite haunt; for there was no one to forbid me, the squire being dead, the old red Elizabethan house empty, with only a caretaker in the gardener's lodge to mind it, and the estate for sale.
The public was familiar with that piece of evidence; it had gone through every kind of mill of opinion; it made no special sensation. The evidence of the caretaker who found the formula and of the witnesses who established it to be in young Ormiston's handwriting, produced little interest.
No? It isn't going to be an easy job. I must put it over. I must go deep into the hearts of men, up here, and write what I find. No more shots in the night. Just the adventure of soul and soul. Do you see? By the way, here's twenty dollars, your first week's pay as caretaker of a New York Quixote." "What's that?" asked Quimby. "Quixote," explained Mr.
As for that sly old person, the caretaker, our new friend volunteered to straighten out everything with him, our affair as well as his own. "When he discovers that we can't be bothered having the law of him, as he richly deserves, he will remember his English, or I'll find the way to make him," said the young man in such a joyous, confident way, that thereupon I dubbed him our "lucky Starr."
Whatever man or demon had done this work evidently intended that she should ride Wilbur's beautiful bay. Yes, for when she went closer, drawn by her wonder, she found that the stirrups had been much shortened. Nothing was forgotten by this invisible caretaker; he had even left out the cooking-tins, and she found a little batter of flapjack flour mixed. The riddle was too great for solving.
'That d d woman' was the caretaker, a grey-haired person usually dressed in sackcloth, who washed herself, incidentally, while washing the stairs. At Powells, nothing but the stairs was ever put to the indignity of a bath. That Henry should be somewhat diffident about invading Kenilworth Mansions was therefore not surprising.
And when you return, stop at the second level. Some of us will meet you there." "I hope you don't expect to pull these boys up through fifty or a hundred feet of shale?" asked the caretaker. "I don't know whether my scheme will work or not," Will answered, "but it's worth trying! We have to leave at least two here, well armed and take the others with us. You'll have to act as guide, Mr.
Indeed I should call it the triumph of human affection, for in honesty I must tell you that she may never be better, she may become worse. But I regard it as her only chance. At any rate, she needs a vigilant caretaker. Old Mrs. Mayburn will not be equal to the task much longer, and her place will have to be filled by hired service.
But there was a curious deserted air about the place as Jean drove up the gravel road. A man was engaged in putting up boards at the windows. "Is the captain here?" asked the colonel. "The place is being closed for the season, sir," answered the man, evidently a caretaker. "Closed? So early?" exclaimed the colonel, in surprise. "The captain has gone away," the man went on.
The caretaker produced the keys of the iron-lined plate cupboard, and showed its old-world contents, clean and in order. "Why, Julie! If we'd only ordered the dinner I might have come to dine with you to-night!" cried the Duchess, enjoying and peering into everything like a child with its doll's house. "And the linen gracious!" as the doors of another cupboard were opened to her.
