"I can get you," Mr. Earles said, slowly, keeping his eyes fixed upon her, "forty at the 'Unusual, two turns, encores voluntary, six for matinées. We should not bar any engagements at private houses, but in other respects the arrangement must be exclusive." "Forty what?" Anna asked bewildered. "Guineas, of course," Mr. Earles answered, glibly. "Forty guineas a week.
Earles threw down his pen with a little exclamation. "Come this way," he said. He opened the door of still another room, in one corner of which was a grand piano. He seated himself before it. "Go to the far corner," he said, "and sing the last verse of Les Petites." He struck a note, and Anna responded. Playing with one hand he turned on his stool to glance at her.
There died in all vpon the kings side sixteene hundred, and foure thousand were gréeuouslie wounded. The earles head was sent to London, there to be set on the bridge. But now where the king wanted monie to furnish that enterprise, and to wage his souldiers, there were some that counselled him to be bold with the bishops, and supplie his want with their surplusage. Fl. out of Tho. Walsin.
"You blithering idiot!" he exclaimed. Mr. Earles strode into the waiting-room. His face was wreathed in smiles, his be-ringed hand was cordially outstretched. "My dear Miss Pellissier," he said impressively, "this is an unexpected pleasure. Come in! Come in, do. I must apologize for my young puppy of a clerk. If I had known that you were here you should not have been kept waiting for a second."
"I have found out at last what a useless person I am from a utilitarian point of view. It has been very humiliating." "And that, I suppose," he said, waving his stick towards Mr. Earles' office, "was your last resource." "It certainly was," she admitted. "I changed my last shilling yesterday." He was silent for a moment or two. His lips were tight drawn. His eyes flashed as he turned towards her.
Dukes may be raised from the first hour till noon, and clear weather is to be observed. Marquesses may be raised from the ninth hour till compline, and from compline till the end of day. Countes, or earles, may be raised at any hour of the day, so it be in the woodes or fieldes, where men resort not. Prelates likewise may be raised at any houre of the day.
It took a good deal to surprise Anna, but it was all she could do to follow Mr. Earles with composure into the inner room. There was a little murmur of consternation from the waiting crowd, and the florid young woman showed signs of temper, to which Mr. Earles was absolutely indifferent. He installed Anna in a comfortable easy chair, and placed his own between her and the door.
Defy me, and marry the girl then, in life, I will never look upon your face again. Henceforth, I will have no son; you will not be worthy of the name. There is no appeal. I leave you now to make your choice; this is my final resolve." The Earles, of Earlescourt, were one of the oldest families in England. The "Barony of Earle" is mentioned in the early reigns of the Tudor kings.
"We are, or rather we were, so much alike then that the portrait of either of us would have done for the other. It saved me the bother of being studied." "It convinced Mr. Earles that I was 'Alcide," Anna remarked quietly. "We will convince him now to the contrary," Annabel answered. Anna looked at her, startled. "What do you mean?" she asked.
The figure of the girl upon it in plain black dress, standing with her hands behind her, was an undeniable and astonishing likeness of herself. It was her figure, her style of dress, her manner of arranging the hair. Mr. Earles regarded it approvingly. "A wonderful piece of work," he declared. "A most wonderful likeness, too.
