"It is not settled yet that Maddy comes," the doctor replied, adding as an answer to Guy's question: "If Agnes could be willing, I do not think you could do better than to secure Miss Clyde's services. Two children will thus be made happy, for Maddy, as I have told you, thinks Aikenside must be a little lower only than Paradise. I shall be happy to open negotiations, if you say so."
"Flora," she said, "I notice you are arranging the table for four. Have we company?" "Why, no, ma'am; there's Mr. Guy, yourself, Miss Jessie, and Miss Clyde," was Flora's reply, while Agnes continued haughtily: "Remove Miss Clyde's plate. No one allows their governess to eat with them."
Wade asked bluntly, eying her with curiosity. Clyde's colour heightened a little but she met his gaze directly. "I had a letter from him," she replied, "in which, among other things, he referred to his troubles with the railway company that owns land in his district troubles about water. It seems to be a serious matter." "How did he happen to write you about it?" asked Wade. "Do you correspond?
I have enough turkeys for all of our birthdays and holidays. I raised a great many flowers and I worked several days in the field. In all I have told about I have had no help but Jerrine. Clyde's mother spends each summer with us, and she helped me with the cooking and the babies.
Wyant again caught the girl's eye, but its emphatic message perplexed him. "You're very good," he said tentatively, "but the fact is the picture is so mysterious so full of complicated detail that I'm afraid no notes I could make would serve Clyde's purpose as well as as a photograph, say. If you would allow me " Miss Lombard's brow darkened, and her father raised his head furiously.
His few belongings, which threw no light on his identity, were gathered up to await his appearance. It was suggested, to Clyde's indignation, that he was an accomplice of the robbers, but in what manner was not clear. And so Clyde Burnaby went on to the coast with ten dollars which she did not in the least need.
"So I would, too, if there weren't a pair of you, and bigamy contrary to law. `How happy could I be with either, were t'other dear charmer away. But," I continued, turning to Lady Dasher, with an assumption of easy indifference which I found it hard to counterfeit under the searching glances of the two wild Irish girls, her daughters, "is it really true what you said just now about Mrs Clyde's daughter, Lady Dasher?"
Clyde's two-year-old dress suit, that he was bravely wearing without a murmur, had needed pressing and she promised to do it; but she overslept herself till seven-thirty that morning, which made her late at the store, so she'd asked the girl in this rooming house to do it down in the kitchen. The girl had been willing but weak-minded.
Romance appeals to us all in diverse ways; and it was actually romance which settled Clyde's romantic affair. Fortnaby, Maximilian Fortnaby, had been a schoolmaster, had succeeded to an estate at forty, and retired. He, with his keen face and trim whiskers, leaning his head on his hand, thus spoke in undertones, and carried the day. "The case is clear.
"I haven't made my bed yet, Aunt Lucinda, if that's what you mean. I hate making it up warm it's not sanitary, is it? You've said so yourself, often." Miss Clyde's smile deepened. Blue Bonnet's sudden conversion to the laws of hygiene was too amusing. "I fancy two hours of this autumn air will have restored its freshness," she said. "Have you finished your unpacking?"
