"I don't think a leader's often in that position, Mr. West; and considering what I'm up against, I can't refuse any support that's offered me. It's one reason why I've taken yours." "Now that I've joined you, I'd better mention a little discovery West and I made this afternoon," said George. Hardie's expression grew eager as he listened.
And oh, I pray for him that he may cherish the words I have spoken to him for his soul's good far longer than he can remember these features that are hastening to decay." At ten in the morning Mr. Hardie's messenger returned without Alfred, and with a note from Dr. Wycherley to this effect, that, the order for Alfred's admission into his asylum being signed by Mr.
Dodd, not to throw cold water on what seemed to gratify her children, accepted Miss Hardie's invitation; but she never intended to go, and at the last moment wrote to say she was slightly indisposed. The nature of her indisposition she revealed to Julia alone. "That young lady keeps me on thorns.
Then, other male voices were imperfect; they were too insignificant or too startling, too bass or too treble, too something or too other. Mr. Hardie's was a mellow tenor, always modulated to the exact tone of good society. Like herself, too, he never laughed loud, seldom out; and even his smiles, like her own, did not come in unmeaning profusion, so they told when they did come.
"No! no!" said Mr. Hardie. "The one I mean was much smaller than that." "What" said she, with that astonishing memory for trifles people have who never read, "was it a little crumpled up paper lying by the basket?" "Yes! yes! that sounds like it." "Oh, I put that into the basket." Mr. Hardie's eye fell directly on the basket, but it was empty.
"Well," he said, "I certainly want the bull, but you seem to understand. Leave it at that; I'm offering to treat you pretty liberally." "So as to prevent my assisting Flett in any way or taking a part in Hardie's campaign?" "I wouldn't consider it the square thing for you to do," Beamish returned quietly. George thought of the man who was waiting at the homestead for the team.
Now all Hardie wanted of him in reality was to know about David; so when Jane had retired and the decanter circulated, he began to pump him by his vanity. "I understand," said he, "you have wrought one of your surprising cures in this neighbourhood. Albion Villa!" Sampson shook his head sorrowfully: Mr. Hardie's eyes sparkled. Alfred watched him keenly and bitterly.
Hardie's bank immediately. Hardie will give you three per cent for your money. Better than nothing. You must have a check-book. He sent me a new one yesterday. Here it is; you shall have it. I wonder whether you know how to draw a check?" "No, uncle." "Look here, then. You note the particulars first on this counter-foil, which thus serves in some degree for an account-book.
His wife was out with eggs; so he caught little Rose Sutton, that had more than once spelled an epistle for him; and she read it out in a loud and reckless whine: "'At noon this very daie Muster Hardie's a-g-e-n-t, aguent d-i-s dis, h-o-n honoured dis-honoured a bill; and sayed." Here she made a full stop. Then on to the next verse. "'There were no more asses."
It doesn't read like the work of the regular staff." "I'm afraid that I am, to some extent, though Hardie's the actual culprit. The fact is, he thought the course was necessary." "Well, I suspected something of the kind; so did my father. It was a wise move, and I think it will have its effect." George made no comment and she sat silent a moment or two while he watched her with appreciation.
