I wonder you consented, Amy, they only want you to work." "I am willing to work. It's for the freedmen as well as the Chesters, and I think it very kind of them to let me share the labor and the fun. Patronage does not trouble me when it is well meant." "Quite right and proper. I like your grateful spirit, my dear. It's a pleasure to help people who appreciate our efforts.
The Chesters had refused aid of him before, but now he was resolved to deceive them into accepting it through his Uncle Peters. "What do you want money for, Fred twenty dollars if you are in for a champagne supper or something of that sort, I don't mind; but I must know where the money goes?" Mrs.
A bold rider might have perhaps leaped his horse across; that might possibly have been safer than to walk a horse through where a stumble might mean doom to both. No, Mrs. Chesters decided; if she went up to the farm she would have to dismount and walk across the little bridge.
Go in and see your patients, and don't bother about me. Cynthia and I will discover a place for me." His face very red with chagrin, Burns took her in. The downpour of rain had covered all sounds of the car's approach, so that neither the Macauleys on the one side, the Chesters on the other, nor the housekeeper herself, were aware of the arrival of the pair.
Ellen was laughing, too. "Remember you've left the bride behind. Your wife will soon be used to it." "We'll run in by the Chesters' driveway, and sneak in at the back door," and Burns suited the action to the word by turning in at the gateway of his next door neighbour.

The caller took her cue cleverly from Miss Mathewson's face, which at the moment expressed schedules and engagements thick as blackberries in August.
Arriving there, after a passage long enough to give me plenty of time for the consideration of the last two words I heard from Mary Phillips, and of the value of the communications I had received regarding Captain Guy Chesters, I immediately started by rail for London.

After a little more talk the elder Chesters drove off, as the boys had decided to sleep in their aerodrome that night, on the two camp cots they had provided for such emergencies. They intended to get an early start in the morning, on another practice sail, as at that hour there was usually little wind.
Come up and sit down and cool off." "Not now," called back a voice curtly, out of the June twilight. The big figure ran on and disappeared into the small house, the door slamming shut behind it.
