"What's the use of speculating about the war?" said Percival, as he threw himself on the grass at Ruth's feet. "Either it's over or it isn't, and here we sit absolutely in the dark. They might as well be fighting on Mars as over in Europe, so far as we are concerned. For God's sake, let's not even think about the war. We'll all go crazy if we do." "You're right," said Fitts, gloomily.
Goodyeare said when Mr. Atwaters kinswoman was married Mris. Bishop was there, and the roome being hott she was something fainte, vpon that Mris. Godman said she would haue many of these fainting fitts after she was married, but she saith she remembers it not.... "Goodwife Thorp complained that Mris. Godman came to her house and asked to buy some chickens, she said she had none to sell, Mris.
"Without a doubt, Fitts, and to prove it for yourself, I am going to send you to him with this little note, he is staying at the 'Albion, it is not far, see him yourself, it will please you both; I do not like to ask you to go out on such a dreadful night, but the message is important."
His desire for a simple wedding had been vigorously, almost violently opposed by the people. Led by Randolph Fitts and the eloquent Malone, they demanded the pomp and ceremony of a state wedding. As governor of Trigger Island, they clamoured, it was his duty to be married in the presence of a multitude!
"We wouldn't dare do that, A. A.," said Fitts. "You must not forget public sentiment, and public pity. I've got a better plan. How far out is that little island off New Gibraltar, Platt?" "A quarter of a mile, I should say." "Well, if they're not satisfied with life and conditions here, let's make 'em a present of a nice little island of their own.
Now you know the kind of a man he was. Five tired and thoughtful men were going to bed a little later on in one of the huts. "What shall we call her?" came from Randolph Fitts, as he threw one of his clay-covered shoes into the corner. "There's only one name for her," said Percival firmly, from the edge of his bunk. "We'll call her Doraine." "Good shot!" cried Peter Snipe.
It hath pleased God to give me a long Time of respite for these 4 years that I have had no great fitt of sickness, but this year, from the middle of January 'till May, I have been by fitts very ill and weak.
We may wonder how long Henry Rayne would have sat motionless in his chair by the fireside, with his inclined head resting on his hand, while he brooded over the years of his life and clasped anew in their old warmth, hands that had long grown cold, either in the gloominess of death, or for need of the responsive touch, from those that were extended to them in far-off climes; but as the clock struck eleven Fitts appeared in the doorway, breaking the spell by asking his master if he "need replenish the grate before retiring?"
My little charge happens to be a girl, and unless you can contribute towards making things to her liking, I am lost. Spare no expense to make the house comfortable in every respect, for the protegee of mine is a lady, I know. And you, Fitts," he continued, turning to the dignified male servant, "will, I am sure, lend a hand towards the general improvement.
At length there came a knock at the door. "I guess that is Ida," said Mrs. Harding, joyfully. Jack seized a candle, and hastening to the door, threw it open. But there was no Ida there. In her place stood Charlie Fitts, the boy who had met Ida in the cars. "How are you, Charlie?" said Jack, trying not to look disappointed. "Come in and tell us all the news."
