The thought of that man's wife shut up in the woods all winter only to find that what she has had to bear has all been thrown away troubles me. Now Wyllard promised to keep those men on, didn't he?" "There was no regular engagement so far as I can make out." "Still, Moran seems to have understood that he was to be kept on." "Yes," replied Hawtrey, "he evidently does.
"Oh, yes," said Sager reflectively; "she'll get him sure if she sets her mind on it, and there's no denying that they make a handsome pair. I've nothing against Hawtrey either: a straight man, a hustler, and smart at handling a team. Still, it's kind of curious that while the man's never been stuck for the stamps like the rest of us, he's made nothing very much of his homestead yet.
"Well," said Hawtrey, "you can mention the second course." "I'll let you have $1,000 at bank interest which is less than any land-broker would charge you without a mortgage." Again Hawtrey showed a certain embarrassment. "No," he said, "I'm afraid it can't be done.
He could not meet her gaze, and when he turned from her she looked back at the mortgage-broker. "If you're gone before I come back there'll sure be trouble," she informed him, and sped swiftly out of the room. Hawtrey sat down limply in his chair, and Edmonds laughed in a jarring manner.
In the meanwhile, Agatha and Hawtrey had found it almost impossible to sustain a conversation. It was a relief to the girl to be able to sit silent and observant beside the man whom she had promised to marry. The string-patched trace still held, and the wagon pole was a new one. The white grass was tussocky and long, and the trail here and there had been churned into quagmire.
"Perhaps it could be raised," he answered. "To pay this mortgage off?" Sally swung round on Edmonds now, as she questioned him. "Yes," he admitted, "he can easily do it." Then the girl turned to Hawtrey. "Gregory," she said with harsh incisiveness, "there's only one way you could get that money and it isn't yours." Hawtrey made no reply.
How do you stand in regard to Miss Ismay?" Hawtrey pushed his chair back noisily. "That," he said, "is a subject on which I'm naturally not disposed to give you any information. How does it concern you?" "In this way. Believing that your engagement must be broken off, I asked Miss Ismay to marry me." Hawtrey was clearly startled, but in a moment or two he smiled.
This was why he had just given the latter a further draft on Wyllard's bank, with instructions to sell wheat down on a considerably more extensive scale. He meant to operate in earnest now, which was exactly what the broker had anticipated, but in this case he had decided to let Hawtrey operate alone.
Hawtrey, the Head Master of Eton, to be present at the ceremonies accompanying the annual election of such boys on the Foundation as are selected to go up to King's College, Cambridge, where they are also placed on a Foundation. From reading Dr. Arnold's life you will have learned that the head master of one of these very great schools is no unimportant personage. Dr.
Hawtrey was sitting near the stove inside it on the arm of Sally's chair. Then, though he was not greatly astonished, Sproatly drew back a pace or two into the shadow, for it became evident that there were only two courses open to him. He could judiciously announce his presence by making the door rattle, and then go in and mention as casually as possible that Mrs.
