"Mamma, I would not marry Ferdy Wickersham if he were the last man in to save his life not for ten millions of dollars. And he does not care for me." "Why, he is perfectly devoted to you," insisted Mrs. Yorke. "Ferdy Wickersham is not perfectly devoted to any one except himself and never will be," asserted Alice, vehemently. "If he ever cared for any one it is Louise Caldwell." Mrs.
The Clarion said that his Southern enterprises would be pushed actively, and that the stock of the Great Gun Mine would soon be on the New York Exchange. Ferdy Wickersham suddenly returned to New Leeds, and New Leeds showed his presence. Machinery was shipped sufficient to run a dozen mines. He not only pushed the old mines, but opened a new one.
'I'd hit him in the eye! cried Ferdy, with cheerful inconsequence. 'Perhaps you don't care to come to dinner at half-past seven, the girl said to Miss Steet; 'but I should be very glad I'm all alone. 'Thank you so much. All alone, really? murmured the governess. 'Why don't you get married? then you wouldn't be alone, Geordie interposed, with ingenuity.
But what I said just now is true: I have never forgotten that I was your wife." Norman, with his arm supporting her, reassured her with comforting words, and, sustained by his confidence, she told him of her folly in trusting Ferdy Wickersham: of her giving him her money of everything. "Can you forgive me?" she asked after her shamefaced recital.
I got lots of consideration for you, Ferdy, after the way you treated me already. Yes, Ferdy, I think a whole lot of you, Ferdy. You could come to me with your tongue hanging out from hunger yet, and I wouldn't lift a little finger." Ferdy turned and appealed to B. Rashkin. "Ain't them fine words to hear from my own brother-in-law?" he said.
Out from the smooth grass of the lane a couple of horsemen issued, and came straight to the gates. He heard nothing till one spoke. It was a familiar voice. 'By Jove, Ferdy, here is the fellow, and we've been all the way to Lymport! Evan started from his trance. 'It 's you, Harrington? 'Yes, Harry.
I don't think it's right, Alice, for you to be so susceptible and shallow. At least once every three months I have to go through this same thing. There's Ferdy Wickersham handsome, elegant manners, very ri with fine prospects every way, devoted to you for ever so long. I don't care for his mother, but his people are now received everywhere. Why ?"
Ferdy was still smarting under Mr. Rhodes's biting sarcasm when the three came together again. He meant to be even with Rhodes, and he watched his opportunity. Rhodes was a connection of the Wentworths, and had been helped at college by Norman's father, which Ferdy knew. One of the handsomest girls in their set, Miss Louise Caldwell, was a cousin of Rhodes, and Norman was in love with her.
"Ah! your time has not come yet, Lance. Your little girls are at a comfortable age." "There are different ways of throwing oneself away," said Clement. "Perhaps each generation says it of the next." "Emmie is not throwing herself away, except her chances," said Marilda. "If she would only think of poor Ferdy Brown, who is as good a fellow as ever lived!" "Not much chance of that," said Geraldine.
They are about to open a new mine that is to exceed anything ever known. Ferdy tells me I am good for I don't know how much. The stock is to be put on the exchange in a little while, and I got in on the ground-floor. That's what they call it the lowest floor of all, you know. "Yes; some people call it the ground-floor," said Keith, wishing to change the subject.
