Delancey; and, waiting for the dawn to break, they gathered round Guly's bed, to discuss the events of the night, and propose measures for the future. When Mr. Delancey arrived he said but little, going about to see what goods had been taken minutely examining the spot where the apparent entrance had been made, and silently drawing his own conclusions.
Guly bowed politely, and wished him good morning; but the hard face before him relaxed not a muscle, and stared straight and rigidly into the boy's eyes. It needed no second glance to show that Mr. Delancey was very much enraged. "Did I see you, sir," he demanded, at last, in a tone far from being inaudible, "point out to a customer a defect in her purchase, and so lose a sale?"
Delancey to Della, as she was about leaving the breakfast-table, to go to her own room, the morning after Wilkins' visit to her father. Mr. Delancey, as was usual with him, had said not a word with regard to his interview with Wilkins, but he had thought of it deeply, and was now prepared to act. Della flew to her room. "Minny, dear Minny, papa wants you.
Moreover, that there were rumours in the City of a startling kind, relative to the character of the Company itself. The name of the secretary was Mr. Robert Delancey, but that was now believed to be a mere alias. The police were actively at work. 'It'll be the ruin of me! Mutimer gasped. 'I can never prove that I knew nothing. You see, nothing's said about Hilary.
Delancey looked anxiously to note the progress his daughter had made in the viands before her. "Don't do anything outré in public, Della, no matter what you are obliged to do in private." "No, papa." "I want to see you very perfect in all things, in all things, Della do you understand?" "Yes, papa." "Make it your aim to be everything a young lady can be.
Acme and myself were soon more than friends, and I found my visits gave and imparted pleasure. "I now arrive at the unhappy part of my narrative. How do I wish it were effaced from my memory. You may remember how, in all my letters to Delme, I made mention of my dear friend Delancey. We were indeed dear friends.
I have heard it said that DeLancey can tell offhand what has been the correct thing in dress for each of the last thirty-five years, and that he can handle as many as fifteen articles of cutlery and forkery at a dinner table with absolute accuracy. DeLancey has been at home almost ten years now, and his chief mission has been to ornament Homeburg and add to its elegance on state occasions.
It always comes even East Lynne is better that West Homeburg and I'll tell you, by the time they have come rustling in about half way through the first act, H. DeLancey Payley and W. Sam Singer in clawhammers with an acre apiece of white shirt and holding about four bushels of pink fluff over their arms, and the boys have consulted anxiously with the usher, the two girls, beautiful visions of Arctic perfection, standing in well-bred suspense and holding their gowns in the 1915 manner, and all four have hurried down to the best seats and have unharnessed and stowed away their upholsterings, and DeLancey has folded up his explosive hat and Sam has leaned back in a lordly way and beckoned to the usher for another program by the time all this has transpired, the actors have forgotten their lines, and we have gotten our money's worth out of the evening's entertainment.
Again Arthur's clasp tightened round his brother's figure, and again for a few moments he was silent; then suddenly resuming he said: "You must strive to make a good impression on Mr. Delancey, Guly; don't be timid or shrinking such things have a bad effect. Be every inch a man, as you so well know how to be; bear always in mind how much depends on us two, and we shall get on bravely."
It's that fellow Delancey who has run. 'You must find Mr. Hilary, said Adela urgently. 'Where does he live? 'I have no idea. I only had the office address. Perhaps it isn't even his real name. It'll be my ruin. Adela was astonished to see him so broken down. He let himself sink upon a chair; his head and hands fell. 'But I can't understand why you should despair so! she exclaimed.
