He found the rumor touching her fortune to be correct, and from that time was seldom apart from the Crosbys. They were as pleased to have his society as he was to be in theirs, for was he not the Count von Stalkenberg? And the other visitors at Stalkenberg looking on with envy, would have given their ears to be honored with a like intimacy.
It was lovely of him, wasn't it? He wouldn't care, would he, if we took a little ride just by ourselves before we went back for him?" "Of course not, but we can't go far and we'll have to go fast." "I love to go fast. I've never been fast enough yet. I wonder if the Crosbys have got their automobile?" "I heard so, but I haven't seen it.
It saves trouble to be conventional, for you're not always explaining things. Most of the startling items we read in the newspapers are serious lapses from conventionality and good manners." "The Crosbys aren't very conventional," Isabel suggested.
The Crosbys were given to understand that she was English, but the widow of a Frenchman she was obliged to offer some plausible account. There were no references; but she so won upon their esteem as the daily governess, that they soon took her into the house.
"No," smiled Madame, "they're not, but their manners proceed from the most kindly and friendly instincts, consequently they're seldom in error, essentially." "They have lots of money, haven't they?" "I have sometimes thought that the Crosbys had more than their age and social training fitted them to use wisely, but I've never known them to go far astray.
Nobody seems to think it was anything for me to get up out of the dust, with my best white dress all ruined and my face scratched and my ankle sprained and one arm bleeding, and help the Crosbys carry a heavy man to their machine and lay him on the back seat." "I thought the Crosbys carried him," put in Madame. "They're strong enough to do it, I should think." "Well, I helped.
Seeing that she had made a mistake, Isabel sat quietly in her chair and watched the people around her until it was time to go. Greatly to her delight, they went to the station in an automobile. "Isn't this glorious!" she cried. "I'm so glad the Crosbys are going to have one. I hope they'll take me often."
Atherton paid her a great deal of attention; and so did the Mungers and Crosbys enough sight more than they did to Ann Eliza with all her money. 'Mo-money isn't ev-everything. Billy stammered, 'and Je-Jerrie would make a ve-very different pl-place of Le Bateau. 'Mebby she would mebby she would; but I'd never thought of her for you, Peterkin said.
"Crosby, Crosby," he said slowly. "There are Crosbys in Northamptonshire, and here in Hampshire, close by the borders of Wilts and Dorset, there is one; but a Gilbert Crosby what is he like?" "I cannot tell. He made me ashamed to be in such a place, and I did not look much into his face. He had grey eyes, and a voice that was stern but kind." "An excellent picture!" cried Martin.
There would be refugees from Monmouth's ragged army presently, he must help them if he could, but he would play no part in active rebellion. An old man, who had been servant to the Crosbys when Gilbert was born, met him in the hall. "I've been anxious, Master Gilbert," he said, "very anxious indeed, and the Lord be praised that you've returned in safety.
