The first telegrams which appeared in the daily papers brought anxiety and bodings of ill to many households. The dwellers at the farm were not exempt. They had been apprised by a recent letter that Mr. Frost's regiment now formed a part of the grand army which lay encamped on the eastern side of the Rappahannock. The probability was that he was engaged in the battle.
Frost's report of an excellent night, and over her own happy looks, from which James prognosticated that all her fatigue and watching had done no harm to her vigorous frame, for which gladness was always the best cordial.
Just tell that thing, as you call it, inside you that you are going up, not down, in future, and see if it won't behave itself and help you all the time." "I wonder if it will?" said Irene. "It is a good thought." Miss Frost's alarm, surprise, and delight when Rosamund had an earnest talk with her on the following morning can be better imagined than described.
Frost's face was at times a thundercloud, and army circles within the outer circle of Manila saw plainly that all was not harmony betwixt that veteran Benedict and that fragile, fluttering, baby wife. The bloom of Nita's beauty was gone. She looked wan, white, even haggard. She had refused to leave Hongkong or come to Manila until Margaret's arrival, then flew to the shelter of that sisterly wing.
Frost, successfully resisted a large force of the constabulary bent on executing a process of ejectment against him obtained by Mr. D'Esterre. Frost's holding was of 33 Irish, or, in round numbers, about 50 English, acres, at a rental of £117, 10s., on which he had asked but had not obtained an abatement.
All actual debate was staved off by Mrs. Frost's entreaty that business discussion should be deferred. 'Humph! said Oliver, 'you reign here, ma'am, but that's not the way we get on at Lima. 'I dare say, said James. Mrs. Frost's joy was still undimmed.
One of Colonel Frost's consuming ambitions was to be the head of his department, with the rank of brigadier-general, but he had strong rivals, and knew it. Wealth he had in abundance. It was rank and power that he craved. Four men all with better war records and more experience stood between him and that coveted star, and two of the four were popular and beloved men.
Chairman," said Squire Haynes sarcastically, "I infer that the last speaker is intending to enlist." Mr. Frost's face flushed at this insinuation. "Squire Haynes chooses to impute to me interested motives. I need enter into no defense before an audience to whom I am well known.
Louisa required peculiar care, and she had thought of trying mineral baths what was thought of Northwold? what kind of houses were there? The Northwold faculty themselves might have taken a lesson from Fitzjocelyn's eloquent analysis of the chemical properties of the waters, and all old Mr. Frost's spirit would seem to have descended on him when he dilated on the House Beautiful.
Besides their splendid silk-lined and padded sealskin suits, he had brought a large number of Japanese fireboxes. The punks in these were lighted, and when all were very hot they were wrapped in flannels and distributed about their persons inside their sealskins. With this arrangement, Jack Frost's chances of nipping their persons were very slim indeed.
