Upon their arrival at the offices of Mainwaring & Co. they were given a cordial greeting by Mr. Elliott and Mr. Chittenden, after which they passed on to the elegant private offices of Hugh Mainwaring. Mr. Whitney was visibly affected as he entered the familiar rooms, and to each one was forcibly recalled the memory of their meeting a few days before.
Andy was glad it was so dark that no one could see Link being taken away by the officer. "How did that book get in Link's room?" mused Andy. "That sure will tell against him. But I know he didn't steal it. Some other janitor or helper who could get into Chittenden may have taken it, and then got afraid and dumped it in Link's closet. A lot of college employees live on Crown street.
Professor Chittenden of Yale is quoted as saying that "lack of proper physical condition is responsible for more moral ... ills than any other factor." Certain temptations, at least, bear more hardly upon the man of weak and unstrung nerves; in Rousseau's well known words, "The weaker the body, the more it commands."
If you still insist upon making up the dress in the way you propose, I will see what Madame Dudevant can do for us, though I cannot but advise you to alter your plans and make the darker shade of velvet do. I went to the Cary reception last night and met Lulu Chittenden. She has actually grown old, but was as lively as ever.
It seemed neither sensible nor even safe. During this doleful period all descriptions of him agree: he seemed, says Chittenden, "shaken in body and uncertain in mind,... an old man worn out by worry;" while the Southerners also declared him as "incapable of purpose as a child."

'It's all over now, she said soothingly. 'We promise faithfully never to ask for another wish after to-day. 'Well, go ahead, said the Psammead; 'let's get it over. 'How many can you do? 'I don't know as long as I can hold out. 'Well, first, I wish Lady Chittenden may find she's never lost her jewels. The Psammead blew itself out, collapsed, and said, 'Done.
Whitney, I will next see the valet, whom you say was the one to discover the situation this morning." In the slight confusion and delay which ensued, Mr. Elliott and Mr. Chittenden took their departure, with the usual expressions of condolence and regret, followed a few moments later by Dr. Hobart, who was accompanied downstairs by young Mainwaring. Meanwhile, Mr.
"You are determined to keep Chittenden?" "Positively determined." "We'll go out, Mr. Bennington," said Shipley. "And what's more," added Morrissy, "we'll see that nobody else comes in." He lighted a cigar, shoved his hands into his trousers pockets and walked insolently toward the exit. The majority of the men were grinning. Tear down this place? Kill the goose that laid the golden egg?
"If you would only have a good cry, Evadne," Geoffrey Chittenden said at last, "you would feel better, dear. That is what all girls do, you know." She turned upon him a pair of solemn eyes, out of which the merry sparkle had faded. "Will crying give me back my father?" "Why, no, dear. Of course I didn't mean that. But these things are bound to happen to us all, sooner or later, you know.
He was a gentle and a kindly old man, with traces of the eighteenth-century courtliness of manner, and smothered in snuff. Mr. Chittenden was never tired of dinning into us the astonishing merits of a pupil who had been at the school eleven or twelve years before us.
