The home of the Channings was ever full of love, calm, and peace. Can you guess where the difference lay? On the morning when the college boys had gone up to crave holiday of the judges, and had not obtained it at least not from the head-master Arthur Channing proceeded, as usual, to Mr. Galloway's, after breakfast. Seated at a desk, in his place, writing he seemed to be ever seated there was Mr.
"Ellen, did I say 'they! The Channings are my dear friends, and I hope ever to call them such. They have done nothing unworthy of my friendship or of yours. I said Hamish." Ellen rose from her seat, unable to subdue her emotion, and stood with her hands clasped before Mr. Huntley. Hamish was far dearer to her than the world knew. "I will leave it to your good sense, my dear," Mr.
The Channings are in what may be called difficulties, through the failure of their Chancery suit, and the lad must have yielded to temptation." Mr. Galloway could not be brought to see it. "You may as well set on and suspect Hamish," he resentfully said. "He was equally alone with the letter." "No," was the answer of the keen officer.
Alcott removed with her family in 1846, and the two years that followed is the period which Louisa looked back upon as the happiest of her life, "for we had," she says, "charming playmates in the little Emersons, Channings, Hawthornes, and Goodwins, with the illustrious parents and their friends to enjoy our pranks and share our excursions."
He was pretty constant in his evening visits to the Channings, but he had made an engagement for this one with a brother clergyman. Constance entered. She looked in the study for her brothers, but only Arthur was there. He was leaning his elbow upon the table in a thoughtful mood. "Where are they all?" inquired Constance. "Tom and Charles have gone to the cricket match.
Thyrsis never told her about his conversation with the husband, for he knew she would never get over that insult. For himself, he concluded that the Channings were lucky in having got into a quarrel with them, as otherwise he would surely have compelled them to lend him some money. In truth, the advent of some fairy-godmother or Lady Bountiful was badly needed just then.
In all Helstonleigh there was not a family more respected than were the Channings; and the man felt a passing sorrow for his task. "I wouldn't ask no questions, sir, if I was you. Sometimes it's best not; they tell against the accused." "Time's up," called out the one who was in the hall, to his fellow. "We can't stop here all day." The hint was taken at once, both by Arthur and the man.
With all Tom's faults, he was not rebellious, neither was he unreasonable; and he made up his mind, not without some grumbling, to do as Hamish desired him. He drew his chair with a jerk to the tea-table, which of course was unnecessary. I told you that the young Channings, admirably as they had been brought up, had their faults; as you have yours, and I have mine. It was a silent meal.
The happiness of the Channing family, in their social relations to each other; the loving gentleness of Mr. and Mrs. Channing with their children; the thorough respect, affection, duty, rendered to them by the children in return had struck her more than ever on this morning. She was contrasting the young Channings with her own boys and girls, and the contrast made her feel very depressed.
Mark, with a word of deprecation, went off, his ears pricking with the sentence he had heard from the detective Arthur Channing the thief! Mr. Galloway turned again to the officer. He resented the imputation. "The Channings are altogether above suspicion, from the father downwards," he remonstrated. "Were Arthur Channing dishonestly inclined, he has had the opportunity to rob me long before this."
