Dutton's maiden name, that was perhaps the least enviable of all the careers that a virtuous and intelligent female can run. This was, as education and governesses were appreciated a century ago; the world, with all its faults and sophisms, having unquestionably made a vast stride towards real civilization, and moral truths, in a thousand important interests, since that time.
Dutton's earnest request, Wycherly immediately left the room again, forcing Galleygo out before him, with a view to get more accurate information concerning the baronet's real situation; both the mother and daughter feeling a real affection for Sir Wycherly; the kind old man having won their hearts by his habitual benevolence, and a constant concern for their welfare.
Archibald, more calm and considerate, only desired the carriage to push forward; and it was not till they had got beyond sight of the fatal spectacle, that, seeing the deadly paleness of Jeanie's countenance, he stopped the carriage, and jumping out himself, went in search of the most obvious and most easily procured of Mrs. Dutton's pharmacopoeia a draught, namely, of fair water.
Dutton's claims, too, were seriously complicated by the fact that he had lost his discharge papers; so the matter dragged, and was still dragging when it ceased to be of any importance to anybody. Whenever James Dutton glanced into the future, it was with a tranquil mind.
"Well, and there is Flop, neighbour Dutton's old sheep-dog. He be very old now." PARSON. "I am not asking Flop's age, but your own." LENNY. "'Deed, sir, I have heard say as how Flop and I were pups together. That is, I I " For the parson is laughing, and so is Mrs. Fairfield; and the haymakers, who have stood still to listen, are laughing too.
Then there were Dutton's party, with the barque 'African'; Nicholson's, with the barque 'Cheviot', from Hobarton; Chamberlain's, with the barque 'William the Fourth', of Hobarton; the 'Hope' barque, and a brig, both from Sydney. The Hentys also had a whaling station at Double Corner, and by offering to supply their men with fresh meat three times a week, obtained the pick of the whalers.
We had seats on top, and the trip, although slow, for the road wound uphill steadily, was a delightful one. Our way lay, for the greater part of the time, through the woods, but now and then we came to a farm, and a turn in the road often gave us lovely views of the foot-hills and the valleys behind us. But the driver did not know where Dutton's tavern was. This we found out after we had started.
Dutton's love of perfection was not self-indulgence, was content to accept this as high approbation, and a good augury for Mark and Annaple. Indeed, with Mr. Dutton settled near, and with the prospect of a daily walk from church with him, she felt such a complete content and trust as she had not known since she had been uprooted from Micklethwayte.
Harry moved to a seat near, and began an indifferent conversation with her, that the whole room might have heard. "Can it be all kid," thought Kate, "or was there really nothing between them?" At that instant Sir Robert lounged up, and threw himself in a familiar manner on the other side of Bluebell. Dutton's face darkened.
The next Thursday came another, and another and no Jacob! When it was certain that poor Jacob would appear no more and when his motive for resigning, and his words at taking leave were recollected and when it became evident that his balls, and his tops, and his marbles, and his knives, had always been better and more reasonable than Dutton's, the tide of popularity ran high in his favour.
