Anything that I ask respecting the brother and sister, or either of them, I ask for myself out of my own interest in the subject, and not in my official character, or on Mr Boffin's behalf. How I come to be interested, I need not explain. You know the father's connection with the discovery of Mr Harmon's body.
Gilbert turned up a little before six o'clock and was introduced proudly by his mother as a son who had just "gone into business." "I'm Bill Harmon's summer clerk and delivery boy," he explained. "It's great fun, and I get two dollars and a half a week."
Weston did not at once reply, but sat staring straight before him as if he saw something strange in the wall. His bronzed face had a peculiar pallid color, and his eyes expressed wonder and incredulity. He was forced to keep his hands clasped before him, so great was his emotion. Reynolds watched him curiously, but said nothing. "And what is Harmon's hobby?"
Then, disregarding Harmon's wondering greeting, the celebrity burst into choking staccato speech. "That dog!" he croaked. "That that DOG! The maid saw him go into the house. Saw him go up to my study. She was afraid to follow, at first. But in a few minutes she did. She saw him coming out of my study! COME!!! I demand it. All of you.
Last week my wife went over to Harmon's and Mis' Harmon said she was goin' to make some molasses candy that mornin'. Well, my wife hurried home, put on her molasses, made her candy, cooled it and worked it, and took some over to treat Mis' Harmon, who was jest gittin' her kittle out from under the sink!" The Careys laughed heartily at this evidence of Mrs.
Don't let me detain you, Mr Wegg. I'm not company for any one. 'It is not on that account, says Silas, rising, 'but because I've got an appointment. It's time I was at Harmon's. 'Eh? said Mr Venus. 'Harmon's, up Battle Bridge way? Mr Wegg admits that he is bound for that port. 'You ought to be in a good thing, if you've worked yourself in there. There's lots of money going, there.
Twenty years earlier the means of resistance must have been far fewer, and the enemy in command of almost all the lines of access between the beleaguered villages; and, considering these things, I felt the sinister force of Harmon's phrase: "Most of the smart ones get away." But if that were the case, how could any combination of obstacles have hindered the flight of a man like Ethan Frome?
Mis' Bill Harmon's another 'hurrier, well, you jest ask Bill, that's all! She an' Mis' Popham hev been at it for fifteen years, but the village ain't ready to give out the blue ribbon yet.
The brilliancy of her performance could not be denied, even by those who had reason to dislike her. "Excellent, Miss La Salle," was Professor Harmon's tribute, as he handed her her music. Flushing with pride of achievement, the French girl returned to her place among the others, tingling with the sweetness of her success. There now remained not more than half a dozen untried soloists.
John would have found out all the small childish matter without their aid; it was better, safer to take him into confidence. Then, to do him justice, he was true as steel; for though he must discover, he would scorn to betray. On the white, untroubled sheet of Charlotte Harmon's heart no secrets yet had been written.
