Then suddenly out of a clear sky came the astounding news that he had left the firm, actually resigned from Frothingham, Curtis, and Frothingham! and had gone up into the mountains, to manage a mine for some unknown person named Boone! Mrs. Phelps shut her lips into a severe line when she heard this news, and for several weeks she did not write to Austin.
Look at the big men the brokers and the company promoters, and so on; I've met some of them, and there's nothing in them nothing! Now, there's Bennet Frothingham. You know him, I think? Rolfe nodded. 'Well, what do you think of him? Isn't he a very ordinary fellow? How has he got such a position? I'm told he began just in a small way by chance.
She had not seen Frothingham since Sunday, and during the day had looked forward with a little unpleasant dread to the interview that must be. She imagined various ways in which she should break to him the news that she had left the choir, but none seemed satisfactory. All her little speeches left her as the time drew near.

Alma began to talk eagerly, joyously. 'And what are you doing, Miss Frothingham? 'Oh, fiddling a little. But I haven't been very well.
"Please," said Miss Holland, "I've always been longing to go into one of these houses, and now I'm going. Aren't we, Aunt Dora?" "If you think " ventured Mr. Frothingham in perplexity; but Mr. Frothingham's perplexity always impressed one as duty-born rather than judicious, and Miss Holland had already risen.
