"Y-y es," was the quaking reply. "Well, hurry up about it," and as the wretched man started for the door, he was rushed forward by the crowd which surged about him. Hatless and almost breathless, with wild staring eyes, Farrington staggered along the road. The store was reached. "Unlock the door," was the command, "and make haste about it."
It is well known that Farrington wanted the parson removed on the plea of old age, but didn't want that clause in about Billy's death. The Fletchers insisted, however, an' in it went." "The devil! Well, it's queer, I do declare." Just then the bell rang out its last call, and they entered the church with others.
Farrington told her it was quite right, and she would have been displeased had Lisette done otherwise. "You don't quite understand, my dear," she said kindly, "the difference between the conventions of Paris and our own New York.
Farrington gave no definite answer, but said she would see about it, and perhaps they would run out for the week-end. For the first five or six days of their journey the weather was perfect and the ocean calm and level. But one morning they awoke to find it raining, and later the rain developed into a real storm. The wind blew furiously and the boat pitched about in a manner really alarming.
The morning I got home I had written Peter about how all my friends had been glad to see me, and the way the different ones had shown it, and Peter had read that part to Mr. Farrington and he had said that Peter ought to get me to supply some of the human comedy that Peter's play lacked.
I could not say, as I felt, "But that is the one thing I should like you to do," so I said nothing, and, as soon as I could get near the bell unperceived, rang for McGreggor again, and put an end to the scene. Next morning at breakfast Augustus said: "As Farrington has refused for the 15th, you had better write and ask that fellow Thornhirst your cousin.
"Don't spend all your money buying presents, child," said Aunt Isabel; "you'd better buy pretty clothes for yourself. I will give you a list of the best places to shop." "Thank you, Aunt Isabel, I'll take the list with pleasure; but of course my purchases will be at the advice of Mrs. Farrington. She dresses Elise quite simply, and will probably expect me to do the same." Aunt Isabel sniffed.
The lad started at these words, and but for the darkness a flush would have been seen upon his face. "What does the parson mean?" he thought. "That was about what Farrington said. To get, and give nothing in return; to be a sucker and a sponger." But the parson needed no reply. He did not even notice Dan's silence. "Yes," he continued; "it's a mean thing.
McKrigger had told her about Farrington and the petition, "d'ye think you an' Ruthie will mind if me an' Sammy go into the shore this afternoon with old Queen?" "Why no, dear," was the reply. "But don't ye think the roads are too bad, an' besides, what are ye thinkin' of?" "I don't mind the roads, John. They're purty well smashed down by now, an' Queen's very stidy.
The feast moved as smoothly as need be. Isabelle, glancing over the table as the game came on, had her moment of elation, too. This was a real dinner-party, as elaborate and sumptuous as any that her friends in St. Louis might give. The Farrington Beals, she remembered, had men servants, most New York families kept them, but that could hardly be expected in Torso.
