"As if it wasn't quite the finest thing Hillerton ever had except the Gaylord parties, of course," bridled Mrs. Hattie, turning to Mr. Smith. "That's just daughter's way of teasing me and, of course, now she IS where she sees the real thing in entertaining she goes home with those rich girls in her school, you know. But this is a nice party, isn't it Mr. Smith?" "It certainly is."
She padded herself round at every point where she could have suffered through her sensibilities, and lived soft and snug in the shelter of his iron will and indomitable courage. It was not apathy that she had felt when their children died one after another, but an obscure and formless exultation that Mr. Gaylord would suffer enough for both.
"Yes, it's me," said Euphrasia; "I've been to market, and I had a notion to see you before I went home." Mr. Gaylord took the office-boy lightly by the collar of his coat and lifted him, sprinkling can and all, out of the doorway and closed the door. Then he drew his revolving chair close to Euphrasia, and sat down.
Fifteen minutes later we were bowling down the lane behind the fastest pair of horses in the Gaylord stables, and through the prettiest country in the State of Virginia. Terry sat with his hands in his pockets and his eyes on the dash-board. As we came to the four corners at the valley-pike I reined in.

Sunset found them seated on the rock, with the waters of the river turned to wine at the miracle in the sky their miracle.
Well, your father has one decided consolation; you have fulfilled his hope that you would settle down here and practise in the State. And I hear that you are fast forging to the front. You are counsel for the Gaylord Company, I believe." "The result of an unfortunate accident," said Austen; "Mr. Hammer died." "And on the occasion when you did me the honour to call on me," said Mr.

"That you'll never get the bill passed, this session or next, by lobbying." For the moment the elder Mr. Gaylord was speechless, but young Tom Gaylord clapped his hand heartily on his friend's shoulder.
