He might have said more than one acquaintance, with propriety, for though he had met none of the Crawfords except Bell, he knew so much of them from Josephine Harris that he seemed to have known them for a twelvemonth. "Who are they?" asked Harding, busy with a carriage-order. "The Crawfords and somebody else with them," answered Leslie.
The Crawfords, without wanting to be cured, were very willing to stay. Mary was satisfied with the Parsonage as a present home, and Henry equally ready to lengthen his visit. He had come, intending to spend only a few days with them; but Mansfield promised well, and there was nothing to call him elsewhere. It delighted Mrs. Grant to keep them both with her, and Dr.
Colin said he knew little of parties and cabals, and was certain, at least, that nothing could induce him to serve under the Marquis of B . He could not see his obligations to the dead Crawfords as his father did. He considered his life his own. It had come to him with certain tastes, which he meant to improve and gratify, for only in that way was life of any value to him.
The Crawfords laughed at the idea; and having soon agreed on the propriety of their walking quietly home and leaving the family to themselves, proposed Mr. Yates's accompanying them and spending the evening at the Parsonage. But Mr.
The Crawfords are notorious for trying to keep all their property in the family; and so, as the other has proved so bad, probably this cousin and Mary may be married. But she looks like a ghost when I meet her, at church or when she is riding out; and I know that she is unhappy. Perhaps she loves the poor young man still, bad as he is. Don't you think that is possible, cousin Joe?
"I saw you crossing the bridge together. I thought the Crawfords were away. There's nobody else you'd be likely to go and see over in Burdock." "There's Mr. Tyler," replied Roy. "He asked me to go up and see him to-day, but I was too late. He's dead." "Dead! Oh, Roy!" Both girls uttered the exclamation. Death almost always horrifies.
But she went steadily on. "You were always so dear about it. You never let me feel like a beggar, and well, it was the easy way, and I took it. I got worried once during the winter when I heard the Crawfords talking. All those people were millionaires, I'd supposed. They were going on at a dinner here, one night, about being awfully hard up, and I began to wonder if we were.
"'If everybody was like the Mark Crawfords over-harbour this would not have happened, groaned Susan. 'Yhey locked their Uncle up in the barn this morning and would not let him out until he promised to vote Union. That is what I call effective argument, Mrs. Dr. dear. "Gertrude and I couldn't rest after all that. We walked the floor until our legs gave out and we had to sit down perforce.
"There is a glimmer o' good sense in what you say, Colin. I dinna intend any Crawford to work in my coal mine. Little use they would be there. I'll send to Glasgow for some Irish bodies." "And then you will have more fighting than working on the place; and you'll have to build a Roman-catholic chapel, and have a Roman priest in Crawford, and you ken whether the Crawfords will thole that or not."
Porter was right, he was not himself, or he never could have done it." "It was an awful thing for him to find his brother as he did, and go away and leave him so." "Awful, indeed! But the Crawfords have always been strange in their ways. I have never seen one of them show emotion or sentiment upon any occasion." "Now you are again an heiress," I said, suddenly realizing the fact.
