Harewood himself had been present to hear a son's performance, had helped to raise him, and pronounced it to be a case of sunstroke; nor, when, half an hour later, the librarian set off to fetch his sister, had there been any sign of consciousness. Mr. Harewood tried to be calm, but he was evidently in great distress; and Mr. Froggatt could not restrain large tears from dropping.
Froggatt was quite touched at the reverence with which Angela and Stella regarded even the daisies that had eluded his perpetual spud; and when he found out the delight it was to Cherry to live with flowers for the first time in her life, he seldom failed to send her a bunch of violets or some other spring beauty as soon as he arrived in the morning, and kept the windows constantly supplied with plants.
Mowbray Smith has put his foot in it this time. 'What? said Felix, pausing in the act of opening an envelope from Mr. Froggatt. 'Pocketing the coal and school money ay, and the alms. 'Eh? Impossible! Let me look. 'There. A letter signed "Scrutator." There's a great deal more than I can read, all about under-paid curates and sycophants. My Lady is catching it, I should say!
Froggatt would drive in to attend to the business every day, but the charge of the house was the difficulty, as they did not wish to let the rooms; and they now proposed that the young Underwoods should inhabit them rent-free, merely keeping a bedroom and little parlour behind the shop for Mr. Froggatt, and providing firing in them.
Froggatt explained that if he gained experience in the editing of the Pursuivant, he would be always able to obtain profitable employment, and that it was possible that he might eventually take the business, and pay an annual sum out of the profits to the Froggatt family, unless, indeed, something should turn up which would keep him in his natural station.
'Sister Constance told Wilmet he ought, when he had that long cough after the measles. 'Ay. You know you'll excuse me, my dears, a cough is not to be trifled with in your dear family. 'You should write to the clerk of the weather-office, Mrs. Froggatt, said Lance, rather gruffly. And as Mrs. Froggatt was not good at understanding jokes, but was always ready to accept Mr.
Wilmet turned away in shame and disgust at having trusted for a moment to such offers. She could only do what she had never done before apply to Mr. Froggatt for an advance on Felix's account: and she detained him after dinner for the purpose. He was as kind as possible, assuring her that he should have been hurt if she had not come to him.
'Now don't, Lance, entreated Bernard, 'for Nares will pitch into me for telling. He says they've got an opening through the Pur backing up that mean beggar Smith; and Collis and Jackman will find the cash, and Nares's father is to be editor, and they vow Froggatt and Underwood will be beat out of the field.
Froggatt shook his head and looked distressed, and his good lady went on discoursing about the basin of soup she always used to keep prepared for him, evidently longing, though not quite daring, to send a lecture to Wilmet on taking care of her brother. But what made more impression on both the children was, that after they had been into Mr.
Froggatt was conscious of having been too indulgent, but the mother and son were against him; and the superior tone of education that the son had received at the reformed grammar school had only set him above the business, instead of, as had been intended, rendering him more useful in it. Good Mr.
