Farnham's yacht, the 'Folly'. It is true that the gods will not exonerate Mrs. Shorter. That lady, who had been bribed with Alfred Dewing, used her persuasive powers; she might be likened to a skilful artisan who blew wonderful rainbow fabrics out of glass without breaking it; she blew the tender passion into a thousand shapes, and admired every one.
You must get out of your ideas of men, especially men of Arthur Farnham's age. He never thinks of you. He is old enough to be your father." Alice kissed her mother and went to her own room, calculating on the way the difference between her age and Captain Farnham's. The words of Bott lingered obstinately in Maud Matchin's mind. She gave herself no rest from dwelling on them.
"I've only a few minutes to stay, really," I said, "for I've set my heart on walking back to Marlow. Farnham knows I'm here, I suppose?" "Oh, that's the pity of it," he ejaculated. "Farnham's away, after all. You know what an erratic fellow he is? Well, he got tired of business, and not dreaming you would come, ran into town to dine with some people who had asked him the other day.
The girl caught her breath sharply, her hand pressed tightly against her side. "What what was it you desired of Beth Norvell?" she questioned. Farnham's white teeth gleamed in a sudden smile of appreciation. "Hope you are not becoming jealous," he said insinuatingly. "Positively no occasion, I assure you, for it was not to make love to the girl, I wanted to see her. Lord, no!
Why the announcement of Farnham's name should remind her of Morton's promise to call, this Sunday evening, cannot be said; but it did so, and she nodded to James. "Hello, Patricia!"
Only, as matters now stand, the result may prove an unpleasant misunderstanding." They were now at the bottom of the few steps leading up toward the hotel entrance, and Miss Norvell, removing her hand from the support of his arm, stood before him outwardly calm. "Beyond doubt, you refer to my apparent surprise at first hearing Mr. Farnham's name mentioned?"
Farnham's heir must be kept warm, while ours lay wailing and shivering in my lap. "I was left alone amid the lightning and thunder and the noise of the rain; my poor dead sister seemed to call out from the clouds, that I should help her spirit free from the raging of the tempest I think all this worked on my brain, for I sat and looked on the babe with a stillness that seemed to last for months.
No hostile demonstration of any kind had been attempted since Farnham's retreat, and now no sign of contemplated attack was to be perceived. The large number of men visible earlier in the day had mysteriously disappeared; not even the searching field-glasses served to reveal their whereabouts.
There was a wonderful family likeness between voices, when they only spoke in a rough whisper, and the green shade over the eyes had doubtless proved very advantageous in keeping up the optical illusion on which the man had courageously dared to count, even among Farnham's Denver friends.
My reason for preferring the wing I have already stated, but what the pretended Harvey Farnham's had been I had yet to learn, for so far was the main portion of the hotel from being crowded on this occasion, that we two had been the only ones who slept in the annex.
