Clarissa felt the burden of her guilt, but could not bring herself to make any avowal of her repentance to the husband who had put her away from him, so easily, as it seemed to her. That touched her pride a little. On that last morning, when the carriage was waiting to convey the travellers to Ryde, Mr. Granger's fortitude did almost abandon him at parting with his boy.
The innocence and humor of this sportful proposal appealed to them at once. It also satisfied the Dutchman, who seconded it loudly, with excited enthusiasm. The protests of the granger's defender and friend were unavailing. They pushed him back, even threatening him with their guns when he would have interfered to stay the execution of this inspired sentence.
A second was from another firm which had been one of Jim's best customers and read: "Advise Gollop not to make this territory again until Yimville affair blows over. Granger's supporters buzzing like live hornets."
The assault on Missionary Ridge by Granger's and Palmer's corps was not premeditated by Grant, he directing only the line at its base to be carried, but when this fell into our hands the situation demanded our getting the one at the top also. I took into the action an effective force of 6,000, and lost 123 officers and 1,181 men killed and wounded.
Fires were blazing merrily in all the rooms; for, whatever Miss Granger's secret feelings might be, the servants were bent on showing allegiance to the new power, and on giving the house a gala aspect in honour of their master's return.
How Clarissa's heart bled for the nice clean motherly women who were put through their paces for Miss Granger's glorification, and were fain to confess that their housekeeping had been all a delusion and a snare till that young lady taught them domestic economy!
I don't feel like the same girl Tom Granger's awfully nice looking his eyes are blue, Robin oh, I won't let myself think of going to New York until Mom and Pop are settled somewhere away from the Mills Robin, you're so quiet I should think you'd be bursting " "I'm glad my aunt was nice to Susy and your mother and Dale. Beryl, she's going to make Norris take that invention "
Ill-judged meddling in this respect often led to differences between us, only temporary it is true, but most harassing to the subordinate, since I was compelled by the circumstances of the situation not only invariably to yield my own judgment, but many a time had to play peacemaker smoothing down ruffled feelings, that I knew had been excited by Granger's freaky and spasmodic efforts to correct personally some trifling fault that ought to have been left to a regimental or company commander to remedy.
The demi-brigade was an awkward invention of Granger's; but at this time it was necessitated perhaps by the depleted condition of our regiments, which compelled the massing of a great number of regimental organizations into a division to give it weight and force.
Granger and baby in the drawing-room? No; Mr. Baker had been in attendance all the afternoon. Mrs. Granger had not left her own apartments. "But she's not there," cried Eliza, aghast; "nor Target either. I've been looking for baby." She ran back to the dressing-room; it was still empty, and the bedroom adjoining. Mr. Granger's dressing-room was beyond that, and he was there writing letters.
