Trenor, whose present misery was being fed by a rapidly rising tide of reminiscence; "last year, when he came, Gus forgot all about his being here, and brought home the Ned Wintons and the Farleys five divorces and six sets of children between them!" "When is Lady Cressida going?" Lily enquired. Mrs. Trenor cast up her eyes in despair. "My dear, if one only knew!
Having completed this delicate task to his satisfaction he handed the result to Hollins. "If you haven't already struck off a line, you might do so," he suggested. "I've asked the Farleys for a print of it; and I fancy they'll be sending for one." Leaving the shop he went direct to a telegraph office, whence he dispatched two messages to Harwick.
Two days later the Farleys came home, and since Vincent went promptly into residence at Crestcliffe, the evenings with Norman were interrupted. But they had served their purpose; and when Vincent began to press for the naming of an early day in September for the wedding, Ardea found it quite feasible to be calmly indefinite.
The rain lasted that day, but on the next the sun rose on a world washed clean, woodland-scented, fresh and beautiful. The time had come for him to dare. At nightfall he started, a young moon to guide him, followed a road ankle high in ruts and mud, and at dawn crept into an alder thicket for rest and sleep. It was nine, the day well started, when he walked into Farleys.
"Those which er would make up the er legend, 'Marvelous Man-Like Monster," drawled Average Jones. "Then you know the Farleys," said the print man. "The Flying Farleys?" said Average Jones. "They used to do ascensions with firework trimmings, didn't they? No; I don't exactly know them. But I'd like to." "That's another matter," retorted Mr. Hollins, annoyed at having betrayed himself.
You shall have your ten thousand as soon as you rid the Farleys of Cochise and his gang. That was the agreement." The trader thwacked his beefy hand down on Lennon's shoulder. "That's a go, pard. I own up honest I figgered your talk of copper was all bunk. But I aim to stand by my bargains. Only you're sure now this here lode ain't no blind, are you?
Tom's heart burned within him when he saw how the late stress of things had aged his father, and for the first time in his life he opened a vengeance account: if the Farleys ever came back there should be reckoning for more than the looting of Chiawassee Consolidated. But this was only the primitive under-thought.
Is it because Chiawassee and the pipe-makin' ain't big enough for you?" Tom answered promptly and without apparent reserve. "The job's big enough, but I don't want to stay here and yoke up with the Farleys; they'd ruin me in a year." "Get the better of you in the business is that what you're aimin' to say?" "Not exactly. I'm still brash enough to believe I could hold my own on that score.
Knowing diplomacy only by name, Caleb Gordon had gone directly to Dyckman for information regarding the Farleys' movements. Dyckman was polite to the general manager, but unhappily he knew nothing of Mr. Farley's plans. Caleb tried elsewhere, and the little mystery thickened. At his club, Mr.
When we get those exhibits we shall find that the Farleys have picked the bones, leaving them for us to bury decently out of sight. Then, when the funeral is over, they'll come back and charge it all to the Gordon mismanagement. It's a cinch, isn't it?"
