Each time we do a degradingly low, beastly thing" he chose the words most easily comprehended by such a woman as she was "we weaken our will, and make it less able to do anything good for another. If you commit loveless actions from to-day though Julian has nothing to do with them with each loveless action you will lose a point in the battle against the madness of Cresswell.
Have you not known such a thing as that a man should be labouring under an Indian sun, and cutting down every personal expense to the last shilling, that he might send a liberal allowance to his wife in England; while she meanwhile was recklessly spending twice what was thus sent her; running up overwhelming accounts, dashing about to public balls, paying for a bouquet what cost the poor fellow far away much thought to save, giving costly entertainments at home, filling her house with idle and empty-headed scapegraces, carrying on scandalous flirtations; till it becomes a happy thing, if the certain ruin she is bringing on her husband's head is cut short by the needful interference of Sir Cresswell Cresswell?
Cresswell, hesitatingly; "I'm afraid Miss Smith does not approve of us white Southerners." "But you mean to say you can't even advise her?" "Oh, no; we can. But we're not er exactly welcomed.
I hope I am not narrow-minded, but I feel that all my finer instincts rebel at the thought of " "Miss Stoner, if you please, we will drop the subject. Nothing can be gained by carrying it further." This came from Miss Cresswell. She spoke quietly but her manner and voice was that of one who expected to have her suggestions followed. Landis tilted her head a little higher, but her face flushed.
Copplestone glanced at the card and read "Sir Cresswell Oliver," He turned wonderingly to his companion, who laughed again. "Sir Cresswell told me to give you that as soon as I conveniently could," he said. "The fact is, I'm not a clergyman at all not I! I'm a private detective, sent down here by him and Petherton. See?"
I have noticed the extraordinary influence he had over Julian, and I know that influence used to be a noble influence, used solely for good. Mr. Cresswell was a man of extraordinary high-mindedness and purity of life. He had a brilliant intellect," the doctor continued, forgetting to whom he was talking, as his mind went back to the Valentine of the old days.
Taylor hesitated. "Yes," he finally answered. Colonel Cresswell looked up in amazement and the lawyer dropped his glasses. "I I don't think you perhaps understood me, Mr. Taylor," he gasped. "I er meant to ask if Colonel Cresswell, in signing this paper, meant to sign a contract to sell this wench two hundred acres of land?" "He said he did," reiterated Taylor.
"Well, you watch the Farmers' League, and note its success and methods," counselled John Taylor, his tone and manner unchanged. "Then figure what it might do in the hands of let us say, friends." "Who's running it?" "A Colonel Cresswell is its head, and happens also to be the force behind it. Aristocratic family big planter near where my sister teaches." "H'm well, we'll watch him."
She thought of Miss Wynn who had jilted Alwyn and given her herself a very bad quarter of an hour. What a world it was, and after all how far was this black boy wrong? Just then Colonel Cresswell rode up behind and greeted her. She started almost guiltily, and again a sense of the awkwardness of her position reddened her face and neck.
And I want to shop and call on Dolly's friend she's going soon." "All right. Can you be ready by eleven?" She considered. "Yes I reckon," she drawled, prettily swinging her foot and watching the tree-tops above the distant swamp. Harry Cresswell, left alone, rang the bell for the butler. "Still thinking of going, are you, Sam?" asked Cresswell, carelessly, when the servant appeared.
