Hobart said she hoped she would come often, and let the girls run in and be sociable! And Grace Hobart says 'she hasn't got tired of croquet, she likes it real well! They're that sort of people, Mr. Thayne." "Oh! that's very bad," said Dakie Thayne, with grave conclusiveness. "The Haddens had them one night, when we were going to play commerce.
"Who is your young friend?" inquired Mrs. Linceford, with a shade of doubt in her whisper, as they came out on the balcony. "Master" Leslie began to introduce, but stopped. The name, which she had not been quite certain of, escaped her. "My name is Dakie Thayne," said the boy, with a bow to the matron. "Now, Mrs. Linceford, if you'll just sit here," said Mr. Wharne, placing a chair.
And a great deal of the manifold responsibility that Mr. Dakie Thayne undertakes, as broker or agent in the concerns of others, is undertaken with a deliberate ulterior design of this sort. I think Mr. Farron Saftleigh probably was made to pay about three thousand dollars of the sum he had wheedled Mrs. Argenter out of.
He gave her a magnificent copy of the Sistine Madonna, which his father had bought in Italy, and he wrote her that it was to be boxed and sent after her to her home. He did not say that it was magnificent; Leslie wrote that to us afterward, herself. She said it made it seem as if one side of her little home had been broken through and let in heaven. We were all sorry that Dakie could not be here.
I've done without most things, but it don't appear to me as if I could do without them. Take a seat, do." "I thank you, but my friends are waiting. I've brought something for Prissy, from Miss Craydocke at the hotel." And Leslie held out the package which Dakie Thayne, waiting at the door, had put into her hand as she came in.
Delight and Leslie had got letters from the Josselyns and Dakie Thayne. There was news in them such as thrills always the half-comprehending sympathies of girlhood. Leslie's vague suggestion of romance had become fulfilment. Dakie Thayne was wild with rejoicing that dear old Noll was to marry Sue.
Somebody overtook and joined them there, somebody in a dark gray suit and bright buttons. "Why, that," cried Barbara, all to herself and her uplifted skimmer, looking after them, "that must be the brother from West Point the Inglesides expected, that young Dakie Thayne!"
The possibility had occurred to Leslie Goldthwaite as she and Dakie Thayne amused themselves one day with Captain Green's sagacious Sir Charles Grandison, a handsome black spaniel, whose trained accomplishment was to hold himself patiently in any posture in which he might be placed, until the word of release was given.
Knowing, morally, some things that I have not had opportunity to investigate in detail, and cannot therefore set down as verities, I am privately convinced that this little business agency on the part of Dakie Thayne, was in some proportion at least, a piece of a horse-shoe! If you have not happened to read "Real Folks," you will not know what that means.
Thoresby took possession; had praised the tableaux, as "quite creditable, really, considering the resources we had," and was following a slight lead into a long talk, of information and advice on her part, about Dixville Notch. The general thought he should go there, after a day or two at Outledge. Just here came up Dakie Thayne.
