"Dear Crowe: Will you give me copy on these as soon as possible something snappy this time. E. B. D." A memorandum, "Mr. Piper called you 4 P.M. Monday. Wishes you to call him as soon as possible." The United Steel Frame Pulley layouts and another note from Deller, "This is LATE. DO something."
Caryll, between his teeth, but went unheard by any, for in that moment Dorothy Deller the younger of the Lady Mary's cousins gave expression to the generous and as yet unsullied little heart that was her own. "Oh, 'tis shameful!" she cried. "Will you not go speak with her, Molly?" The Lady Mary stiffened. She looked at the company about her with an apologetic smile.
She is ready to go on indefinitely, but Oliver thanks her abstractedly it is decent of the old girl after all grunts "Guess I better start in looking busy now, Mrs. Wimple!" and sits down at his desk. A note from Deller with five pencil sketches attached of the new trade figures for Brittlekin two bloated looking children with inkblot eyes looking greedily at an enormous bar of peanut candy.
Craske, quivering, yet controlling himself, bowed stiffly. "I have too much respect for myself " he gasped. "Ye'll be singular in that, no doubt," said Mr. Caryll, and turned his shoulder upon him. Again Mr. Craske appeared to make an effort at self-control; again he bowed. "I know I hope what is due to the Lady Mary Deller, to to answer you as as befits. But you shall hear from me, sir.
In the shadow of a great elm, around which there was a seat, a little group had gathered, of which the centre was the sometime toast of the town and queen of many Wells, the Lady Mary Deller, still beautiful and still unwed as is so often the way of reigning toasts but already past her pristine freshness, already leaning upon the support of art to maintain the endowments she had had from nature.
And then Alley got hold of Délier and they are both talking about you I know because Délier said 'Oh give him another chance' and Alley said 'What's the use, Deller he's been here eight months and he doesn't seem to really get the hang of things, in that snippy little way and then 'I can't stand breaches of discipline like this. You know how nervous it gets him if as much as a fastener is out of place on his desk and Winslow's got a kid cousin he wants to put in here and if you don't act like mama's darling for a while "
"Those fine ladies and gentlemen of the town had made my name a by-word," she explained in a low, tense voice, her eyelids lowered. You remember, yourself, sir, the sneers and oglings, the starings and simperings in the park that day when you made your first attempt to champion my cause, inducing the Lady Mary Deller to come and speak to me." "Nay, nay think of these things no more.
It's in a frame." "Fifi is?" "No, the paper is. The paper says Fifi is out of a deller, sired by Star. I heard her read it off to a lady that came to see her one day. Say, Martha, what's a deller?" "I do' know." "Fifi has awful long ears. What kind of ears has Sammy's dog got?" "I didn't notice partic'lar, I must say.
