But the now thoroughly aroused guardian of the peace, determined not to be rushed like this, broke away from Robin, who was engaging him in pleasant conversation, and, hastening after the retreating group, laid a detaining and imperious hand on Dilly's arm. What happened next I was not quick enough to see.
Dilly's? JOHNSON. 'Sir, I did not think of going to Dilly's: it went out of my head. I have ordered dinner at home with Mrs. Williams. BOSWELL. 'But, my dear Sir, you know you were engaged to Mr. Dilly, and I told him so. He will expect you, and will be much disappointed if you don't come. JOHNSON. 'You must talk to Mrs. Williams about this. Here was a sad dilemma.
Williams such a degree of humane attention as frequently imposed some restraint upon him; and I knew that if she should be obstinate, he would not stir. I hastened down-stairs to the blind lady's room, and told her I was in great uneasiness, for Dr. Johnson had engaged to me to dine this day at Mr. Dilly's, but that he had told me he had forgotten his engagement, and had ordered dinner at home.
That was the day I meant to git some thoroughwort over there, to dry, but I looked at the redbird flowers so long I didn't have time, an' I never've been sence." Molly laughed out, with a pretty, free ripple in her voice. "You're always sayin' that, Dilly! You never have time for anything but doin' nothin'!" A bright little sparkle came into Dilly's eyes, and she laughed, too.
Dilly's, I waited upon him to remind him of his appointment and attend him thither; he gave me some salutary counsel, and recommended vigorous resolution against any deviation from moral duty.
'No, you mean, 'One of us', corrected Edith. 'Then white serge for nurse to make Dilly's skirts skirts a quarter of a yard long! how sweet! and heaps and heaps of muslin, you see, for her summer dresses. Won't she look an angel? Oh, and you told me to get some things to keep Archie quiet in the train. She produced a drum, a trumpet, and a mechanical railway train. 'Will that do? 'Beautifully.
"Robin told me well something, six months ago, the night after Dilly's wedding, at the dance " "That was why you locked the door, then," I said involuntarily. Both Robin and Dolly turned upon me in real amazement. But I saw that this side-issue would interrupt the story. "Never mind!" I said. "Go on! I'll explain afterwards." "Well," continued Dolly, "he said to me may I tell them, Robin?"
Dilly's? JOHNSON. 'Sir, I did not think of going to Dilly's: it went out of my head. I have ordered dinner at home with Mrs. Williams. BOSWELL, 'But, my dear Sir, you know you were engaged to Mr. Dilly, and I told him so. He will expect you, and will be much disappointed if you don't come. JOHNSON. 'You must talk to Mrs. Williams about this. Here was a sad dilemma.
I sure ain't going to need it to buy dishes and rocking chairs and pictures and I was going t' git her a piano oh, hell!" He still rode slowly, after that, but he did not bother over the figures that stood for Dilly's debts. He sat humped over the saddle-horn like an old man and stared at the trail and at the forefeet of Barney coming down pluck, pluck with leisurely regularity in the dust.
"I think 't was real good of you to turn in the place to Tom's folks," said Jethro, also seating himself, and, as Dilly saw with a start, as if it were an omen, in her father's great chair. "Not that you'll ever need it, Dilly. You won't want for a thing. I've done real well." Dilly's long fingers assorted papers and laid them at either side, with a neat precision.
