"It is so simple," Graham urged. "All we have to do is to be straightforward. Let us go." He drew her to her feet and made as if to start. But she drew away from him suddenly, sat down, and buried her flushed face in her hands. "You do not understand, Evan. I love Dick. I shall always love him." "And me?" Graham demanded sharply. "Oh, without saying," she smiled.
You have been really romantic, and most generous and noble; only the shop smells! But, never mind, promise me you will not enter it. 'I hope not, said Evan. 'You do hope that you will not officiate? Oh, Evan the eternal contemplation of gentlemen's legs! think of that! Think of yourself sculptured in that attitude! Innumerable little prickles and stings shot over Evan's skin.
At the library-door Rose turned to him, and with her chin archly lifted sideways, said: 'I know what you feel; you feel foolish. Now the sense of honour, and of the necessity of acting the part it imposes on him, may be very strong in a young man; but certainly, as a rule, the sense of ridicule is more poignant, and Evan was suffering horrid pangs. We none of us like to play second fiddle.
Insensibly also, as Time hardened his sufferings, Evan asked himself what the shame of his position consisted in. He grew stiff-necked. His Pagan virtues stood up one by one to support him. Andrew, courageously evading the interdict that forbade him to visit Evan, would meet him by appointment at City taverns, and flatly offered him a place in the Brewery. Andrew fumed and sneered at Tailordom.
But, said I, I am so loaden with the burden that is on my back, that I cannot take pleasure in them as formerly. EVAN. And what said he then? CHR. He bid me with speed get rid of my burden; and I told him it was ease that I sought. And, said I, I am therefore going to yonder gate, to receive further direction how I may get to the place of deliverance.
But there are too many against them. Run, Evan, quick, down to Dean's Yard; you are sure to find some of them playing at racquets in the Little Yard, tell them that the boys coming home from cricket have been attacked, and that unless help comes they will be terribly knocked about." Evan dashed off at full speed. Dean's Yard was but a few minutes' run distant.
I can't separate the kindness from the sense, or I would tell you all she said. When I say kindness, I don't mean any "Oh, my child," and tears, and kisses, and maundering, you know. You mustn't mind her thinking me a little fool. You want to know what she thinks of you. She said nothing to hurt you, Evan, and we have gained ground so far, and now we'll go and face our enemies.
What he did, she took among other inevitable matters. The door closed upon Evan, and waiting at the foot, of the stairs a minute to hear how he was received, Mrs. Mel went to the kitchen and called the name of Dandy, which brought out an ill-built, low-browed, small man, in a baggy suit of black, who hopped up to her with a surly salute. Dandy was a bird Mrs.
Seated in the chair was Katherine Moore. "Evan, I am sorry we have intruded upon you and stopped your dance. It did not occur to me until this moment that you did not hear us approaching.
Why should I think it? I will not think it! He'll come and bring Evan. Oh, I'm sure he'll come." "Well, I'm not always hopeless; there is no reason," said Shenac. "He did not say he would come at once; but he should write." "Oh, you may be sure he has written and the letter has been lost.
