"It is a delicate intimation to Sir Henry Darlington that somebody is on to his little game, and he'll evaporate before dawn." A week later, Holmes brought me a magnificent pearl scarf-pin. "What's that?" I asked. "Your share of the swag," he answered. "I returned the pearl necklace to Bar, LeDuc & Co., with a full statement of how it came into my possession.
The anticipation had in it not a glimpse of what we have found in our brief experience. Except Mr. and Mrs. Ring, there isn't a lady nor gentleman in the house. That Mason is so rudely familiar that I cannot bear to come near him. He's making himself quite intimate with Henry already, and I don't like to see it." "Nor do I," replied Mrs. Darlington.
Some of the earth-waggons used to form the Stockton and Darlington road were brought from the Hetton railway; and others which were specially constructed were formed of the same dimensions, these being intended to be afterwards employed in the working of the traffic. As the period drew near for the opening of the line, the question of the tractive power to be employed was anxiously discussed.
By a tall pedestal of marble, on which was poised a marble statuette of Echo, not that Echo who babbled to Hera, but she who, after her punishment, fell in love with Narcissus, he saw a very thin, very pale, and strangely haggard-looking woman of perhaps thirty-two talking to Esme Darlington. At first sight she did not seem beautiful to Dion.
You've been standing up to him. Now, haven't you?" Dion acknowledged that he had, and added: "But you, mother? How are you?" "Quite wickedly well. I ought to be down with influenza like all well-bred people, Esme Darlington has it badly, but I cannot compass even one sneeze." "Where's Omar?" Mrs. Leith looked grave. "Poor little chap, we must turn down an empty glass for him."
Longstaffe's Annals and Characteristics of Darlington, that the spinning of flax by machinery was first begun by one John Kendrew, an ingenious self-taught mechanic of that town, who invented a machine for the purpose, for which he took out a patent in 1787. Mr. Marshall went over from Leeds to see his machine, and agreed to give him so much per spindle for the right to use it.
The work which finally secured the position of George Stephenson and of his dearly loved locomotive was the Stockton and Darlington railway. Like all the other early railways, it was originally projected simply as a mineral line.
"I know him to be a man of the vilest character, and a gambler into the bargain! Rich! Gracious heaven!" And the young man struck his hands against his forehead, and glanced wildly from his pale-faced mother to his paler sister. "And you knew the character of this man, Henry!" said Mrs. Darlington. There was a smiting rebuke in her tone.
"For the present," said Mrs. Darlington, anxious to mitigate, even in a small degree, the anguish of the unhappy woman's mind, "let this give you no trouble. Doubtless the way will open before you. After the darkest hour the morning breaks." Yet, even while Mrs. Darlington sought thus to give comfort, her own heart felt the weight upon it growing heavier.
We pay twelve dollars a week, and would even give more, if necessary, to obtain just the accommodations we like. The situation of your house pleases me. I'm sorry that I happen to be too late." "Will you look at the room?" said Mrs. Darlington, into whose mind came the desire to break the bad bargain she had just made. "If you please," returned the man.
