We did not learn this till the week before school was to begin; and when his letter to Addison reached us, explaining why he could not come, there were heart-felt lamentations at the old Squire's and at the Edwards farm.
Edwards, "that your general attitude toward your studies is careless and that in Latin especially you are not keeping up with your class. Now I can't be worried by this sort of thing. I give you fair warning that if you don't mend your ways you'll be taken out of school and put to work here in the office, and there won't be any more talk about college. If Mr.
For Edwards truly says, that “If God disposes all events, so that the infallible existence of the events is decided by his providence, then, doubtless, he thus orders and decides things knowingly and on design.
Cosgrave's failure was like a personal challenge a defiance thrown in his teeth. The old fight was on again. It was against odds. But then, he had always fought against odds won against them. The room was Connie Edwards herself. It seemed to rush out at him in a tearing rage, flaunting its vulgar finery and its odour of bad scent and cheap cigarette smoke.
Both principal and student searched thoroughly in the locker. Dick, as in duty bound, was still there, on guard at the door. "Mr. Prescott," asked puzzled Dr. Thornton, did any student have admittance to the locker after recess today?" "None, sir," answered Dick promptly. "Hm! And you're absolutely sure, Mr. Edwards, that you left the little package in your overcoat pocket?" "Positive of it, Dr.

"Ratty will come to you for his time. I'm going to pay him off this noon. I've got good reason for letting him go." "I bet ye," agreed Sam, for whatever Frances said or did was right with him. Pratt insisted upon Frances meeting all these people from Amarillo. There was Mrs. Bill Edwards, whom she already knew, as chaperon.
He refers to it again and again as an attempt to screen Crawford and break down Edwards, and denounces Mr. Webster as false, insidious, and treacherous. Much of this may be credited to the heated animosities of the moment, but there can be no doubt that Mr. Webster took the matter into his own hands in the committee, and made every effort to protect Mr.
"I wonder if that car, by any possibility, might have hit Witness, John Edwards, too?" Courtney smiled. "It's dollars to nickels the same blow killed them both." "Then, it's my word against hers and the certificate." "Not exactly. It's her word, her beauty and the certificate against your word, its corroborating circumstances and her history."
The natives of the islands more to the northward and eastward are said to be of milder dispositions, especially the Darnley Islanders of whom Captain Edwards, of Sydney, who had a "Bech-de-mer" fishing establishment there during the last year, speaks in high terms as being of friendly dispositions and displaying very considerable intelligence, living in comfortable huts and cultivating yams, bananas, coconuts, etc., in considerable quantities.
