And in September Jerrold went up to London to stay with Eliot for the week-end, and Anne stayed with Maisie, because Maisie didn't like being left in the big house by herself. Through all those weeks that was the way Maisie had her, through her need of her. And on the Thursday before Anne came Maisie had called on Mrs. Hawtrey of Medlicote, and Mrs.
They naturally look for some grace of culture or refinement in the woman they would marry, and there are few women of the station they once belonged to who could face the loneliness and unassisted drudgery that must be borne by the small wheat-grower's wife. There were also reasons why this question had been troubling Hawtrey in particular of late. "Oh, yes, one or two," he said.
Hawtrey remembered that Agatha did not like tobacco smoke, and had always been inclined to exact a certain conventional deference which he had grown to regard as rather out of place upon the prairie. "That's a very long way off," he objected. Sally showed no sign of conceding the point as he had expected, and he took out his pipe.
It was, no doubt, not the speech a well-trained English maiden would have made, but, though Hawtrey smiled rather curiously, it fell inoffensively from Sally's lips.
"He oughtn't to have left you with them," said Hawtrey severely. Sally laughed. "Well," she replied, "I'd quit driving if I couldn't handle any team you or Haslem could put the harness on." The hotels in the smaller prairie settlements offer one very little comfort or privacy.
In fact, it struck him as a very curious thing that Hawtrey should have lost the picture which the girl with whom he was in love had given him. He sat silent for a moment or two, and then stood up. "When I hear from Mrs. Hastings, I'll drive around again. Candidly, the thing has somewhat astonished me. I always had a fancy it would be Sally." Hawtrey laughed. "Sally?" he replied.
"I suppose he was reasonably liberal over your salary." "I don't get one. I take a share of the margin after everything is paid." Edmonds carefully noted this. He was not sure that such an arrangement would warrant one in regarding Hawtrey as Wyllard's partner, but he meant to gather a little more information upon that point.
Creighton, who was getting to be an old man, was of a grasping nature, and hired assistance only when it was indispensable. "Well," Hawtrey responded, "I'm not particularly fond of cooking either." Sally glanced at him with a provoking smile, for he had given her a lead. "Then," she asked with a coquettish raising of the eyebrows, "why don't you get somebody else to do it for you?"
Bostock named it when she named young Billy Hawtrey. Friendship with Mrs. Levitt provided Miss Gregg with, unlimited facilities for meeting Billy, who was always running over from Medlicott to the White House.
