There was reason to think that Sedley had no hesitation in promising to use all his influence over his uncle's tenants, and considerably magnifying their extremely small regard to him nay, probably, dwelling on his own expectations. At any rate, even when Charnock was gone, Sedley continued to talk big of the coming changes and his own distinguished part in them.
A man told me as soon as the train stopped; he seemed to guess who I am." "Ah!" said Charnock; "the boys are very good! It makes me proud to feel they all like Stephen. But why didn't you telegraph us? The Company would have sent on the message." Helen smiled. "I didn't see much use in doing so. You knew when your letter would arrive and how long it would take me to come.
Regret for his misfortune, and inquiry as to the chance of restoration, were a possible topic. Mr. Charnock gave much advice about aurists, and examples of their success or non-success; and thence he diverged to the invalid-carriage he had secured, and his future plans for expediting his daughter's recovery. Meanwhile Mrs.
Then he saw Charnock looking at him and knew he would agree to his decision. Festing put down his pipe and knitted his brows. "Well?" said Charnock. Festing got up with a quick, resolute movement, and turned to Norton. "We'll undertake the job." "That's all right," said Norton. "I'll get the papers drawn up and send them over for you to sign."
Now it looked as if she had won. Victory was insecure yet, and there was a risk that it might turn to defeat, but Sadie never shrank from a daring venture. For a moment she could not speak; her heart was full. "Hallo!" said Charnock, who got up and came towards her. "Crying, Sadie? Will you miss me as much as that?" Sadie hastily wiped her eyes. "Yes, Bob; I'll miss you all the time.
He could not carry on his rapidly extending business much longer, and Charnock might presently take his place. But this was not all, and he hesitated. "Do you think I'm fit for the job?" he asked. "You could do it if you tried." Charnock smiled. "It's comforting to feel somebody trusts me, and I see advantages in the plan. You keep the books, I think.
Sadie let him go, and then went limply upstairs. She felt worn out and her brain was dull. She could not think, and a problem that demanded solving must wait until the morning. After looking into the room where Charnock lay and seeing that he was sleeping heavily, she went to bed.
Take her out walking, you both need it badly enough." They ventured to comply, and eluding Mr. Charnock, went into the park, silvery with the unstanched dews, and the leaves floating down one by one like golden rain. "Not much like the Bush," said Miles. "No," was all Anne durst say. "Poor Nan, how dreary it must have looked to you last year!" "I am afraid I wrote very complaining letters!"
Pay's as good for stopping in the caboose as for humping rails in the snow." "You're luckier than me in that way," Charnock answered as he shut the door. "There are some drawbacks to being your own boss. When you can't get to work it's comforting to know that somebody else has to find the dollars and put up the hash." He shivered as he sat down on a box.
Then she went back and read a newspaper to Festing, who was carried down to the supply train next day and made comfortable in the caboose. Charnock talked to him carelessly until the couplings tightened and the locomotive began to snort, but his mouth was firm and his face set as he went back to his work. He knew what he was up against, and there were difficulties he had not told Festing about.
