You can't be in two places at once, and so sure as you sign yourself 'Gurd, you'll sell, or sublet 'The Seven Stars. In fact, even a simple brain like mine can see you'll sell, for Richard will never be content to let you serve two masters; and where the treasure is, there will the heart be also.
People used to think he was a simple sort God forgive me, I did myself; but I know better now. All through that business with poor Richard Gurd, Job understood our characters and bided his time and knew that the crash must come between us.
He varied the precept sometimes, and reminded her that we must not hope to have our cake and eat it too; and closer relations with Richard Gurd served to impress upon Mrs. Northover the value of these verities. Nor did she resent them from Mr. Legg. He had preserved an attitude of manly resignation under his supreme disappointment. He was patient, uncomplaining and self-controlled.
While she pursued this work there bustled in Richard Gurd from 'The Tiger. He was in his shirt-sleeves and evidently pushed for time. "Wonders never cease," said Nelly, smiling upon him. "It's a month of Sundays since you was in my gardens. I'll lay you've come for some flowers for your dining table." Reciprocity was practised between these best of friends, and while Mr.
His expression in repose appeared frank and receptive; but to-day his face wore a look half anxious, half ferocious. He was clad in tweed knickerbockers and a Norfolk jacket, of different pattern but similar material. His tie was light blue and fastened with a gold pin modelled in the shape of a hunting-horn. He bore no mark of mourning whatever. "Whiskey and soda, Gurd. Morning, Neddy."
"I want to go to him," said Vesty. I heard her breath coming painfully and quick. "I knew that. I have already made arrangements for you to leave early in the morning." "Just to see him. I promised him. I can't bear it just as though it was little Gurd." "You shall see him by to-morrow night. I have sent a messenger to make special arrangements for conveyance, in case you should desire this."
While we were looking off he had been hauling it down the steep bank by the cottage. Now when we saw him Vesty ran to him and put the child in his arms and clung to him. I saw a great light come over his face. "Gurd," said his father sternly, the old stained hand still stroking his white face, "ye have strength and skill above the most but look at yon! Put up your boat, lad; it's no use.
"Of course, with some men you wouldn't be called to do it. With Richard Gurd, you would." "To leave 'The Seven Stars'! Somehow I'd always regarded our place as a higher class establishment than 'The Tiger' along of the tea-gardens and pleasure ground and the class of company." "And quite right to do so. But that's only your opinion, and mine. It won't be his. Good night."
Gurdon, who had returned to relieve Fluke at the violin, good-naturedly struck up "The Wrecker's Daughter." "Can't ye put a little sperrit into 'er, Gurd? Is this 'ere a fun'al? That 's it! Now then 'Touch and go is a good pilot."
The young men wasted an hour in futile talk and needless drinking while Gurd attended to other customers. Then Raymond Ironsyde accepted an invitation to return home with Motyer, who lived at Eype, a mile away. "I'm going to give my people a rest to-day," said Raymond as he departed. "I shall come in here for dinner, Dick." "Very good, sir," answered Mr.
