Bart had heard nothing further from the Harringtons not even the echo of a "thank you" had reached him. Pleasantville for a day or two had been full of rumors as to the express robbery, but Bart decided to say very little about it, and only his intimate friends knew the actual circumstances. McCarthy, the night watchman, however, accidentally spread Bart's fame in the right direction.
I found out why when when Pollyanna begged if I couldn't tell her aunt something about about my father and my people." "Shucks! I thought Polly Chilton had more sense still, it's just like her, after all. The Harringtons have always been inordinately proud of race and family," snapped John Pendleton. "Well, could you?"
"Glad, I should think so!" returned Emily; "but when do they come?" "Very soon, I believe; and I expect we shall have jolly times. Harry's so full of life, and that merry little Lucy is the spirit of fun. May will be here shortly. And the Harringtons have friends with them, so we shall be able to get up some nice picnics." "But is not Ada coming?" asked Emily.
'Upon my honour, said Lady Jocelyn, 'they are a remarkable family, meaning the Harringtons. What farther she thought she did not say, but she was a woman who looked to natural gifts more than the gifts of accidents; and Evan's chance stood high with her then.
'The Harringtons have had to mourn a dreadful mesalliance. Pity the Countess! 'Oh! the Countess! the Countess! exclaimed Rose to Drummond's pathetic shake of the head.
"'I had thought at one time that the property was so large and had increased so much in value, that it would be well to divide it and give James half; but the General fancied that it might take him too much away from us that he might get to speculate or want to go into business, a thing none of the Harringtons ever had stooped to, and we decided to put it off.
For the remaining days at the mountain inn there was little excitement. Joy kept close to Phyllis or her grandmother, and John enjoyed himself in what struck the Harringtons as being rather too much his usual way. It seemed to them that a little scheming to see Joy alone would have been more appropriate.
But was she aware, as I sat there smiling spasmodically, what agonies of fear were mine as I waited for those white fangs under the table to sink into my flesh? If, under the circumstances, I confused Harriet Beecher Stowe with Julia Ward Howe, and made a bad blunder about woman's rights in Finland, am I so very much to blame? Not that the Harringtons are the worst offenders in this respect.
The Harringtons sank back in their chairs with a sigh of relief apiece. "I don't care if Philip eats every marshmallow on earth, I'm not going to stir till I've talked it over with you, Allan," said his wife determinedly. She looked so pretty as she said it that Allan rose from his chair, tipped her chin back and kissed her.
The Bonds and Harringtons her mother's people are game breeds, both of 'em, and stand right on their record, every time. She'll have precious little traffic with a white-feathered fellow. I think she's been preparing for him the coldest shoulder any young feller in Sardis's got for many a long day."
