Farwell, I am Manford Conover, of Philadelphia. Back there we have heard something of the 'Everyday Doctrines of Delafield, and I've been sent to find out about them and their authors." "Sent?" J.W. repeated. "Why should anybody send you all the way from Philadelphia to Delafield just for that?" He could not know how much pastoral and even episcopal planning was back of that afternoon call.
He was imploring her to return. She smiled in the dark; but she knew she was going to remain right where she was. "Miss Conover?" It was the voice of the nurse. "Yes. I'm over here on the divan." "Anything wrong?" "Good gracious, no! I'm overtired. A little hysterical, maybe. The parade to-day, with all those wounded boys in automobiles, the music and colour and excitement have rather done me up.
Conover appeared awhile later, she found them poring over the cards in a state of unruffled calm. Peggy looked up, smiled, and nodded. "We've fixed it up, Mummy; but we're not going to be married for a year." Doggie went home that evening in a tepid glow. It contented him. He thought himself the luckiest of mortals.
Now, how the devil did you find out about this Gregory affair?" The banker held out his hand, which Cutty grasped with honest pressure. "If you are here in the capacity of a newspaper man, not a word out of me. Have a cigar?" "I never smoke anything but pipes that ruin curtains. You should have given your name to Miss Conover." "I was under promise not to explain my business.
Or hidden them there without her being aware of it? Kitty Conover ate in the kitchen. First off, this statement is likely to create the false impression that there was an ordinary grain here, a wedge of base hemlock in the citron. Not so. She ate in the kitchen because she could not yet face that vacant chair in the dining room without choking and losing her appetite.
Conover sighed. "I give you up." "It's too late," said the Dean. The Manningtrees, father and mother and son, were gone. Doggie bore the triple loss with equanimity. Then Peggy Conover, hitherto under the eclipse of boarding-schools, finishing schools and foreign travel, swam, at the age of twenty, within his orbit.
Then our Americanization work will be not only more intelligent but far more sympathetic." "If I may turn to the immediate business," Mr. Drury said with a smile of apology, "suppose you tell J.W. what your Board has to suggest for us here in Delafield, Mr. Conover?" Conover turned to J.W. "I wonder if you know anything about Centenary Church?" he asked.
In the mean time the death of a street commissioner left a vacancy to be filled. Governor King, acting under the recent law, appointed Daniel D. Conover to fill it, while the Mayor appointed Charles Devlin. A third claimant for the place appeared in the deputy, who asserted his right to act until the decision of the Court of Appeals was rendered.
On the day the boss tells me you can go strolling, I'll give you the key to the city. Until then, nix! No use arguing, Mr. Hawksley." "I shan't argue," replied Hawksley, meekly. "I am really a prisoner, then?" "For your own good, sir. Do you wish to go down, Miss Conover?" "No." The boy swung the lever, and the car dropped from sight. "I'm sorry," said Kitty.
He could have had his bishopric; but he knew that the choice lay between him and Chanways, a flaming spirit, eager for power, who hadn't the sacred charge of a cathedral, and he declined. And now Chanways was a force in the Church and the country, and was making things hum. If he, Conover, after fifteen years of Durdlebury, had accepted, he would have lost the power to make things hum.
