Gurnet, blandly, "and do not run away with the idea that I think any course you are likely to pursue sensible in itself. If you were a sensible man, you would not take personal disappointment as if it were prussic acid." Winn started. "It isn't disappointment," he said quickly; "it was the only thing to do." "Ah, well," said Dr.
It's bad for your nerves. There are things I could tell you which would make you change your mind about young Rivers, but I don't know that I shall; it would excite me too much. I think I should like you to go down and telephone to Dr. Gurnet. Tell him my temperature is normal. It's a very odd thing; I haven't had a normal temperature for over three years.
Twin lighthouses they decided, marked Gurnet Point, the entrance to Plymouth Bay, and they strained their eyes to see the town that was the oldest settlement in Massachusetts, and imagined they were watching the bulky little Mayflower making her way landward between the headlands. Mr.
I am asking you to remain for a few minutes further because there is one other point to which I wish to draw your attention should you be able to spare me the time?" "All right," said Winn, with a short laugh; "I've got time enough, according to you; I've got two years." "Well, yes," said Dr. Gurnet, drawing the tips of his fingers carefully together.
One sees he is in a death swoon, yet, he raises an arm and points toward the Gurnet, then reels and falls into the arms of his stalwart men. Once more that steel wall goes up, and the mysterious strangers with their curious ship move out on the sea, bearing their leader's body held high on locked shields. Next appear three men having an English flag with the words "Martin Pring-Patuxet 1603."
He ought to say, 'He makes faces and bursts." "Well, he ought, oughtn't he, mamma? Nobody says busts." "Edna, you're hopeless," answered her mother. "And here we are at home again." At the supper-table Will announced that he and Archie and the Gentle Jane were all ready to take a sailing party to the Gurnet Lights the next day, if the party so desired.
Gurnet did not raise his eyes at this question, but before Winn's leaden "Yes" had answered him he had written on the case paper, "Unhappy domestic life." "And er your wife's not here with you?" Dr. Gurnet suavely continued. Winn thought himself non-committal when he confined himself to saying: "No; she's in England with my boy." He was as non-committal for Dr.
"It is so small a thing compared with what you have done with your own." Winn laughed. "You rather have me there," he admitted; "I suppose I have been rather an ass." "My dear fellow," said Dr. Gurnet, more kindly, "I'm really annoyed about this, extremely annoyed. I had booked you to get well. I expected it. What have you been doing with yourself?
Names were like pocket electric lamps to Dr. Gurnet. He switched them on and off to illuminate the dark places of the earth. He held Winn's card in his hand and recalled that he had known a former colonel of his regiment. "A very distinguished officer," he remarked, "of a very distinguished regiment. Probably perfectly unknown in England.
As they came near the Gurnet lights they decided that they would touch there first, and show Hilda the lighthouse, and then they could take as much time as they liked for their cruise outside. The tide was out, and they could not get the little boat up near enough the shore to land dry-shod.
