Craig played again the refrain, more and more softly and slowly; then laying the violin on Campbell's knees, he drew from his pocket his little Bible, and said 'Men, with Mr. Graeme's permission, I want to read you something this Christmas Eve. You will all have heard it before, but you will like it none the less for that.
From Graeme's room above were seen still the wall and the willows, but over the wall and between the willows was got a glimpse of a garden a very pretty garden. It was only a glimpse a small part of a circular bit of green grass before the door of a handsome house, and around this, and under the windows, flowers and shrubs of various kinds.
Almost, I would say that I would not go there under any guarantee they might give. I do not trust them. The indictment must be dismissed first." "But they won't do that. The ultimatum was personal restitution." Constance was faced by an apparently insurmountable dilemma. She saw and agreed with the reasonableness of Graeme's position.
"Which does not prove Miss Graeme's wisdom," said the doctor. "Why, child, how many April days do you think we are going to have in January? Be thankful for the chance to go out; for, if I am not much mistaken, we are to have a storm that will keep us all at home. Miss Graeme, get your sister's things. It is health for her to be out in such a day."
As you say, no fellow can be on the job all the time. But our problem is not to catch Livius, but to find out what it is he's been after for the last three months." "Three months? You're assuming that it was he who applied for work in the library." "Certainly. And when he failed at that he set about a very carefully developed scheme to get at Colonel Graeme's books anyway.
"And such a marriage would be perfectly legal and unassailable?" "I shall marry you more firmly than if you were married in Cant-er-bury Cath-edral," laughed the Vicar. "That should suffice. But why more firmly? How improve on perfection?" "I will tell you," said the Vicar, with increased enjoyment, as he leaned forward and tapped Graeme's knee. "It is this way.
If it would have brought colour to the cheek, or elasticity to the step of her young mistress, Nelly would gladly have carried her every morning in her arms to the top of the mountain; but nothing would have induced her, daring these first days, to undertake the responsibility of breakfast or dinner without Graeme's special overlooking.
Around the heiress and only child of Mr Elphinstone there soon gathered a brilliant circle of admirers, the greater part of whom would hardly have recognised the Elliotts as worthy of sharing the honour with them. But there was to the young girl, who had neither brother nor sister, something better than brilliancy or fashion in Graeme's quiet parlour.
Certainly, Graeme's manner to her was not that he bore to other women. His half-quizzical, somewhat superior air of mocking devotion gave place to a simple, earnest, almost tender, respect, very new to him, but very winning.
But was it all right with Charlie? Graeme's talk with Harry had not enlightened her much. Had pretty, gentle Amy Roxbury helped Charlie "to get over it;" as Harry's manner of speaking seemed to imply? Or did Charlie still care for Rose? And had Rose ever cared for him "in that way?"
