"Well, then again, John, there's our old study-club. The Fergusons and Mr. Mathews were talking it over the other night, and wondering when you would be ready to join us. We were going to take up Lecky's 'History of Morals, and have our sessions Tuesday evenings, one Tuesday at their house, and the other at mine, you know."
We've just packed away the finger bowls; but out they'll have to come again." "Let her wash her own finger bowl a few days and she'll clamor for the simple life," said Kathleen shrewdly. "Oh, what a relief if the Fergusons would adopt Julia, just to keep Gladys company!" "Nobody would ever adopt Julia," returned Nancy.
On the following morning the Fergusons and Mr. Wigton resumed their journey, and the spirit of their travelling contrasted greatly with that of the previous day. They had parted from the Smitherses on very good terms; but Bob had continued to absent himself, and there was a gloom thrown over the parting in consequence.
But most of our parties were not such elegant affairs, though sometimes they were even more fun, like the Fergusons' calico ball, where I wore my grandmother's gingham, and prunella shoes; or the party the Sumner Light Guards gave, which was the prettiest of all on account of the young men's uniforms, and the way we sat around the little refreshment tables between dances with our mothers and our partners, the band playing all the time, and every one so gay.
"About my daughter, Mrs. Warren. She lives in New York, you know on Long Island." Then he had remembered something he had heard. "Yes," he said. "She met you, at the Fergusons', just for a moment, when she was out here last autumn. What really nice and simple people the Fergusons are, with all their money!" "Very nice indeed," he agreed, puzzled.
But there was no time to heed her, for that instant, bubbling over the boy's white lips, Christian saw a red drop or two; they made her own heart stand still. It so happened that during her stay with the Fergusons one of the little boys had broken his collar-bone; a slight accident in itself, had not the bone pierced the lung, causing a long and severe illness.
This was the sort of thing that had gone on or would have gone on if not discovered with the little Fergusons. "Are you sure of this, Arthur? If so, I must ring for Phillis at once." "Oh don't please don't. Phillis will on'y fly into a passion and beat her poor Titia! I'm very sorry I told of her. I wouldn't be a sneak if I could help it." "My dear boy!" said Christian, fondly.
The Fergusons came over Sir Adam in all his glory and "the night drave on wi' sangs and clatter." June 8. Had not time to do more than correct a sheet or two. About eleven set off for Selkirk, where there was a considerable meeting of road trustees. The consideration of the new road was intrusted to a committee which in some measure blinks the question; yet I think it must do in the end.
Thorburn ran away to Connecticut. Fanshaw wrote him for evidence of what he had written. Thorburn replied that what he had written about Mrs. Ferguson could not be proved. Fanshaw then settled with the Fergusons, paying them the amount demanded. In 1859 the Fergusons lived at 148 Duane Street, New York.
Then she recalled it as that of a young daily governess, her predecessor at the Fergusons', who had left them "to better herself," as she said and decidedly to the bettering of her pupils.
