To amuse them, the theatre was opened on the 9th of November. The play of "The Rivals" being chosen, the two captains appeared as Sir Anthony and Captain Absolute. A school was also established, and it was interesting to observe the zeal with which the hardy tars applied themselves to their books. Sixteen of the men who had before been unable to form a letter could by Christinas write very well.
When Christinas Day dawned, the vague sentiment began to assume the definiteness of a purpose, and noontide found him on his way to Sunrise Gap.
She was sitting in her dingy wrapper, rocking, and pondering upon the conversation of the morning mechanically rocking, and thinking of the Christinas dinner at Uncle Lawrence's. It was a whim of Lawrence's to give dinners; to have them good, and to ask only the people he wanted, and who he thought would enjoy themselves together. "How much," he said, quietly, as he conversed with Mrs.
Smitten with a sudden pang, poor Elspie cried, "Oh, my leddy, dinna think o' the future. Dinna!" and she stopped, confused. "Really, how strange you are. But go on. We'll have no more Christinas nor Isobels."
Tandang Selo saw all his friends pass and thought sadly that this year he had no Christmas gift for anybody, while his granddaughter had gone without hers, without wishing him a merry Christinas. Was it delicacy on Juli's part or pure forgetfulness? When he tried to greet the relatives who called on him, bringing their children, he found to his great surprise that he could not articulate a word.
Now I realize that a friend should not only 'bear a friend's infirmities, but that he should stand by him in the hour of danger; and so to-morrow, 'when fear comes down upon you like a house, Estella and I have concluded to stand with you, in the imminent deadly breach, and share your fate; and if, when you get through, there are any of the Christinas left, I will with Estella's permission even marry them myself 'For I am determined that such good material shall not go to waste.
And then I said to Max, in a dignified, solemn way: 'My dear Max, or Frank, or Arthur, or whatever thy name may be and 'if thou hast no other name to call thee by I will call thee devil' I have observed, with great regret, that thou art very much afraid of standing up to-morrow and encountering in wedlock's ceremony the battery of bright eyes of the three Christinas.
"Will you not walk in, sir!" he said cordially. "I was expecting my little grandson who went out a short while ago." He peered up the street. "Did you wish to see my daughter? You will find us in a little confusion Christinas time is always a busy season with us on account of our young man: my grandson." He lingered with pride over the words. The General stepped into the light. "Wilmer Drayton!
Cotton is down twenty points, very strong and steady, and the Bears are making fortunes. `Mauds' are fluctuating, but `Louisa Christinas' are in great demand; everybody is rushing after them. The Bank rate is ten and a half, and Consols have gone up two per cent. General market firm, with a tendency to drop."
I 've looked and waited for you ever since the second little note you sent me on last Christinas; but you never came." "I've been away, dear heart, hard at work in another city, larger and wickeder than this. I tried to get work here, that I might be near you; but that cruel Cotton always found me out; and I was so afraid I should get desperate that I went away where I was not known.
