Dear pious children, their innocent prayers ascended towards the heavens for we who are absent. Come, Madame Hawkehurst, Diane, it makes cold." "But we are sheltered here. And the stars are so bright after the snow," said Charlotte.
And O Valentine, whom can one trust, if not the man one has known all one's life!" Mr. Hawkehurst pledged himself to protect his mother-in-law from any attempt at persecution upon the part of her husband.
But, as I said before, my oldest inhabitant is somewhat hazy, and excruciatingly prolix; his chaff is in the proportion of some fifty to one of his wheat. I've given a good deal of time to this case already, you see, Mr. Hawkehurst; and you'll find your work very smooth sailing compared to what I've gone through." "I daresay that sort of investigation is rather tiresome in the earlier stages."
Hawkehurst, with her health and spirits thoroughly re-established," said Dr. Jedd. "What is that you say about honeymoon tours?" cried Gustave Lenoble. "Hawkehurst and his wife will spend their honeymoon at Cotenoir; is it not, Diana?" Diana replied that it was to be, and must be so.
If Charlotte marries Hawkehurst, I don't see how you are to profit, to any extent that you would care about, by the Haygarth fortune. But, on the other hand, if she should die unmarried, without a will, the money would go to your wife. O my God! Philip Sheldon, is THAT what you mean?" The question was so sudden, the tone of horror in which it was spoken so undisguised, that Mr.

On Valentine Hawkehurst the burden of an unlooked-for sorrow had weighed very heavily.
No, Hawkehurst, depend upon it, we've nothing to fear in that quarter. The person we have to fear is that precious brother of mine." "You talked the other day about driving a bargain with him," I said; "I didn't quite understand your meaning. The fortune can only be claimed by Char Miss Halliday, and your brother has no legal authority to dispose of her money."
If you knew how the Judsons have married and multiplied, and lost themselves among herds of other people, you wouldn't care about tracing the ramifications of their family tree," said Mr. Sheldon, with a weary sigh. "So be it," exclaimed Mr. Hawkehurst carelessly; "we'll leave the Judsons alone, and go in for Matthew Haygarth."
But even in this sublimated state of mind Mr. Hawkehurst was not exempt from the great necessity of Mr. Skimpole and humanity at large. He wanted pounds. His garments were shabby, and he desired new and elegant raiment in which to appear to advantage before the eyes of the woman he loved. It had been his privilege on several occasions to escort Mrs.
The two men looked at each other at this juncture; and Valentine Hawkehurst smiled significantly. "Within the last ten years?" he said. "That's rather a wide margin." "Do you think you would be a good hand at hunting up the missing links in the chain of a family history?" asked Mr. Sheldon. "It's rather tiresome work, you know, and requires no common amount of patience and perseverance."
