And yet it was not easy, in that stooping figure, with the pale cheek and dimmed eye, to recognise the bright and audacious Vyvyan Bruce, who had been captain of Harton barely three years before. Poverty, ruin, disappointment, confinement, guilt, and sorrow had done their work with marvellous quickness.
It caused many a sorrowing heart both at Harton and at Camford. Mr Carden was a man whose impetuous and enthusiastic disposition had caused him to commit many serious errors in life, and these had been a barrier to the success which must otherwise have rewarded his energy and talent.
We shall tell only one more scene of Julian's Harton life, and that very briefly. The Newry scholarship is to be announced at the same time: Bruce and Home are the favourite names. A crowd of boys throng round the steps, but Julian is not among them; he is leaning over the rails of the churchyard, under the elm-trees by Peachey's tomb, filled with a trembling and almost sickening anxiety.
Young Harton pounced on it at once, and carried it away to his cabin, where no doubt he will lay the seeds of future dyspepsia in the child's stomach. Thus medicine doth make cynics of us all! The weather is still all that could be desired, with a fine fresh breeze from the west-sou'-west.
Harry Forsyth was fond of Harton; fond of football, which was in full swing; fond of his two chums, Strachan and Kavanagh. He rather liked his studies than otherwise, and, indeed, took a real pleasure in some classical authors Homer and Horace, for example as any lad who has turned sixteen who has brains, and is not absolutely idle, is likely to do.
I feel that I am entitled to some knowledge, because I and my family are just now in a most ambiguous position." I don't know whether he understood me or not: he took of his glasses and wiped them. "I shall be very happy," he said with old-fashioned courtesy. "Thank you. Mr. Harton, did Mr. Arnold Armstrong know that Sunnyside had been rented?" "I think yes, he did.
Micheline, lowering her eyes, and awed by the Englishwoman's grandeur, timidly said: "I accept it, Madame, as a token of friendship." "I think I recognize this bracelet, Madame," observed Serge. "Yes; you gave it to me," replied Lady Harton, quietly. "Semper I beg your pardon, Madame, we Poles all speak Latin Semper means 'Always! It is a great word.
That's the second time in the course of an hour that I've heard you. Imagine a Harton monitor sighing twice on Speech-day! You must be tired of us." "Did I sigh? Abominably rude of me. I really didn't mean it," said Julian; and shaking off the influences which had slightly depressed him for the moment, he began to laugh and joke with the utmost mirth until it became time to meet the train.
I am to have one, and I have no doubt you, Kavanagh, will get the other. There is almost sure to be another vacancy before the next training, and if there is, don't you think your friends would let you leave Harton at once, and take it? Then you could serve one training this year, and another next year, and be ready to go in for the Competitive at the same time that we do."
"Nevertheless," he replied, "she is most anxious to come. This is what she says. 'Use every possible means to have Sunnyside vacated. Must go there at once." "Mr. Harton," I said testily, "I am not going to do anything of the kind. I and mine have suffered enough at the hands of this family. I rented the house at an exorbitant figure and I have moved out here for the summer.
