"But I have already discovered one very strong law in this household," she smilingly asserted, as she stood beside him near the hall-table, on which he had placed his powder-flask and shot-pouch. "Ah, what is that?" he asked, pouring the powder carefully into the muzzles of the gun. "The law of kindness, of good-will.
He, therefore, having set the lamp on the hall-table, at once unlocked the door, and Charlotte pulled herself to her feet and her little, pretty, woe-begone face, in which was a new look for him and herself, confronted him. Anderson did not say a word. He somehow he never remembered how laid hold of the little thing, and she was in the house, in the sitting-room, and in his arms, clinging to him.
The postman called at five o'clock, and the letters were on the hall-table waiting for him as usual. I do not know of any work that she had on hand, but the girls have complained that she has spent all her spare time in her room lately, and when I spoke to her about it she said she was writing " "Perhaps she is writing a book," suggested Mellicent thoughtfully.
Jan arose from the seat. "If we sit idling here all afternoon," she remarked severely, "we shall never get that border weeded for Earley." The afternoon post came in at four, and when Jan went in there were several letters for her on the hall-table, spread out by Hannah in a neat row, one above the other. It was Saturday, and the Indian mail was in.
One of them, which had arrived too late for the funeral, lay in its cardboard box on the hall-table. "Here's Master Philip," said Emma. Mr. Carey stood up slowly and shook hands with the little boy. Then on second thoughts he bent down and kissed his forehead.
She did not ask if he was in it had not been her custom for a long time and servants were curious people; but she looked at the hall-table. Yes, there was a hat which had evidently just been placed there, and gloves, and a stick. He was at home, then.
At this juncture the fortunate arrival of the gentleman with lately-curled whiskers, in search of his Bell's Life, left on the hall-table, produced an éclaircissement much to the unbeliever's confusion, and the master of the house was permitted to ascend his own staircase without further obstruction.
"No, miss, she went out about six o'clock and she hasn't come in." "Isn't father in?" "No, miss." "Did she say that she'd be late?" "No, miss." "Oh, well we must wait until mother comes in." "Yes, miss." She saw then a letter on the hall-table. She picked it up. It was addressed to her father, a note left by somebody.
"And you," said I, "will have heaps of time to write me the History of a Sequestered and Meditative Self meanwhile, let us go out somewhere and dine." When I got home, I found a card on my hall-table. "Mr. Sebastian Pasquale." I am sorry I missed Pasquale. I haven't seen him for two or three years. He is a fascinating youth, a study in reversion. I will ask him to dinner here some day soon.
Peyton did not know the girl's writing; but such notes had of late lain often enough on the hall-table to make their attribution easy. This communication Dick, as his mother poured his tea, looked over with a face of shifting lights; then he folded it into his note-case, and said, with a glance at his watch: "If you haven't asked any one for this evening I think I'll dine out."
