Amanda looked at him in astonishment. "If you're a perfessor or no. They'll be sure to ast you." Mr. Fairchilds thoughtfully considered it. "You mean," he said, light coming to him, "they will ask me whether I am a professor of religion, don't you?" "Why, to be sure!" "Oh!" "And you better have your answer ready." "What, in your judgment, may I ask, would be a suitable answer to that?"
It's gettin' some cold out," he added, rubbing his hands and holding them to the fire. That evening, when again Fairchilds was unable to have a chat alone with Tillie, because of Absalom Puntz's unfailing appearance at the hotel, he began to think, in his chagrin, that he must have exaggerated the girl's superiority, since week after week she could endure the attentions of "that lout."
The New Canaan Board was certainly not accustomed to sitting in judgment upon an applicant such as this Pestalozzi Fairchilds. No one noticed the pale-faced girl as, after placing one lamp on the marble-topped table about which the directors sat and another on the mantelpiece, she moved quietly away to the farthest corner of the long, narrow parlor and seated herself back of the stove.
Colvin, "it is to have to do with well-behaved children! I should not mind having these little Fairchilds always with me, at least till Henry is fit only to be managed by men." Lucy and Emily wished much to know what was going to be done in the park, but they did not find the time long. Lucy had chosen the History of Mrs.
From here she made her way, in a roundabout fashion, to the rear entrance of the store-keeper's house across the road, for she was quite sure that her father had gone into the store in search of her. Cautiously stepping into the kitchen, she found Fairchilds restlessly pacing the floor, and he greeted her return with a look of mingled pleasure and apprehension.
When the notable "Columbus Celebration" came off in New Canaan, in which event several schools of the township united to participate, and which was attended by the entire countryside, as if it were a funeral, Tillie hoped that here would be an opportunity for seeing and speaking with Walter Fairchilds. But in this she was bitterly disappointed.
Suddenly Tillie's eyes fixed themselves upon the open doorway, where the smiling presence of Walter Fairchilds presented itself to her startled gaze. "Tillie! AND the Doc! Well, it's good to see you. May I break in on your conference I can see it & important." He spoke lightly, but his voice was vibrant with some restrained emotion.
"Is it any stranger," Tillie asked, her low voice full of pain, "than that your uncle should send you away because of your UNbelief?" This word, "unbelief," stood for a very definite thing in New Canaan a lost and hopeless condition of the soul. "It seems to me, the idea is the same," said Tillie. "Yes," acknowledged Fairchilds, "of course you are right.
The lessons seldom lasted beyond the early bedtime of the family, for as soon as Tillie and Fairchilds found the sitting-room abandoned to their private use, the school-books were put aside. They had somewhat to say to each other.
Do you mind, Rebecca?" Eebecca nodded, her mouth too full for utterance. "Mrs. Johnson she looked younger than her own daughter yet," Mrs. Wackernagel related, with animation, innocent of any suspicion that the teacher might not find the subject of Mrs. Johnson as absorbing as she found it. "There is nothing like good health as a preserver of youth," responded Fairchilds.
