You need not tell me that he would be so complacent over all that driving and strolling and box-giving that Ferdy does for her if he did not find his divertisement elsewhere." Mrs. Nailor even went to the extent of rallying Ferdy on the subject. "You are a naughty boy.
The old gentleman was renewing his youth among his books. He was much interested in Keith's account of his yachting-trip. While there Keith got word of important business which required his presence in New Leeds immediately. Ferdy Wickersham had returned, and had brought suit against his company, claiming title to all the lands they had bought from Adam Rawson.
"On my word, you were so tragic when you came in that I feared something terrible had occurred. Why, you silly creature, do you suppose that Ferdy meant anything by what he did?" "He meant to insult me and you," said Lois, with a lift of her head and a flash in her eye. "Nonsense! He has probably kissed a hundred girls, and will kiss a hundred more if they give him the chance to do so."
Yorke was so fond of you?" "Which is she going to I mean, which do people say she prefers?" inquired Keith, his voice, in spite of himself, betraying his interest. "Oh, Ferdy, of course. He is one of the eligibles, so good-looking, and immensely rich, too; They say he is really a great financier. Has his father's turn? You know he came from a shop?"
"He thanked me for my eloquent praises of the boy, and not too partially, he hoped believed that he deserved them all. A prize of beauty and of love had fallen to him in his little Ferdy, for which he would be grieved to seem ungrateful. But yet but yet the responsibility, the anxiety, the ceaseless fretting care!
Norman Wentworth, however, had applied himself to secure one of the high class-honors, and as he was universally respected and very popular, he was regarded as certain to have it, until an unexpected claimant suddenly appeared as a rival. Ferdy Wickersham never took the trouble to compete for anything until he discovered that some one else valued it.
A frown began on the youngster's face, but passed away quickly, and in its place came a look of covert complacency. "I thought your father had offered you five thousand dollars if you would stick it out through, the whole trip?" Keith said. Ferdy shut one eye slowly and gazed at Gordon with the other. "Sickness was barred. I'll tell the old man I've studied. He'd never drop on to the game.
Potash, only he wants me to take back a second mortgage of five thousand dollars; and I told Ferdy Rothschild if he could get his customer to make it all cash above a second mortgage of three thousand dollars I would consider it. Ferdy says he expects his customer in to see him this afternoon, already, and he will let me know before I go home to-night."
"I know nothing about it; but I believe she and Norman were devoted, as devoted a couple as I ever saw, and I do not see why people cannot let them alone. I think none too well of Ferdy Wickersham, but I don't believe a word against her. She may be silly; but she is a hundred times better than some who calumniate her." "Oh, you dear boy! You were always so amiable.
Zea-Bermudez is dead, but there is a part of me which can never die; and I am happy today because I feel that I am not so poor as I thought I was." Ferdy entered, alone. He went straight to his father and whispered something in his ear, about the mother, I suspected, for both blushed, and Pintal said, with a vexed look, "Ah, very well! never mind that, my boy."
