Hardie was profoundly alarmed and indignant. "The young traitor! Never enter the house? no; but he comes and tells her everything directly under her window on the sly; and, when he is caught defies me to my face."
Hardie quaked internally: but he hid it grandly, and once more was a Spartan gnawed beneath his robe by this little fox. "What," said he sternly, "after all I and mine have done for you and yours, would you be so base as to go and sell yourself to my enemies?" "Never, sir," shouted Skinner zealously: then in a whisper, "Not if you'll make a bid for me." "How much do you demand?"
This system, whose decay we have seen, and whose death my young readers are like to see, flourished under old Hardie, green as the public in whose pockets its roots were buried. Country gentlemen and noblemen, and tradesmen well-to-do, left floating balances varying from seven, five, three thousand pounds, down to a hundred or two, in his hands.
Hardie was visibly discountenanced, and Alfred more so. Mr. Osmond, to relieve a situation so painful, asked Maxley rather hastily what were the curious things he saw. Maxley shuddered. "The unreasonablest beasts, sir, you ever saw or heard tell on: mostly snakes and dragons. Can't stoop my head to do no work for them, sir.
Let sects delight to bark and bite For 'tis their nature to; Let gown and surplice growl and fight, For Satan makes them so. But let you and I cut High Church and Low Church, and be brother and sister.

Lawyers fight hard. The pleas were taken to Garrow; he said there was but one course, to demur to No. 3. So the plaintiff "joined issue on all the defendant's pleas, and as to the last plea the plaintiff said the same was bad in substance." Defendant rejoined that the same was good in substance, and thus Hardie v.
Now, you know, youth is naturally ardent and speculative; but Richard Hardie's was colder and wiser than other people's old age: and that is one trait. Some years later, in the height of his prosperity I reveal this only for your comfort, and on your sacred promise as a person of delicacy, never to repeat it to a soul Richard Hardie was a suitor for my hand." "Mamma!" "Do not ejaculate, sweetest.
The time was so well chosen, and the pin applied, that it was a death-blow: shares declined from that morning, and the inevitable panic was advanced a week or two. The more credulous speculators held on in hopes of a revival; but Hardie, who knew that the collapse had been merely hastened, saw the gravity of the situation, and sold largely at a heavy loss.
Of course I have stopped the actual intercourse, under existing circumstances; but these circumstances are not unalterable: your only obstacle is Mr. Richard Hardie." But what an obstacle!" sighed Julia. "His father! a man of iron! so everybody says; for I have made inquiries oh!" And she was abashed. She resumed hastily, "And that letter, so cold, so cruel!
"Tell me a' aboot it," and Robert told her, sketching the fine picture which Hardie had given to his memory to carry, as long as life lasted for him. "I've been appointed delegate to the Miners' Council," he said after a while. "I'll hae to gang to Hamilton once a month to attend the conferences." "Oh!" she said in surprise, and with pride in her voice. "What way hae they sent you?"
