Hazlehurst came in?" said Adeline "no fibbing, mind." "I only received your note ten minutes since," replied Jane; "but I did think of going with you." "I should like to know why you hesitate, then. First come, first served. Now, the best thing you can do, Mr. Hazlehurst, is to change your mind, and ask one of the Miss Howards, and join our party, too. I really wish you would!"
Hazlehurst had decided, from the instant the claim was laid before him, that the only question with himself would regard his own opinion on the subject; the point must first be clearly settled to his own judgment. He would see the man who claimed to be the son of his benefactor, he would examine the matter as impartially as he could, and then determine for himself.
It was a clear winter afternoon and the sunshine that entered a window of the big hall at Hazlehurst fell upon Millicent as she sat in one of the recesses reading a book. Blake thought she looked very beautiful. As she raised her eyes and caught sight of him she started, and, dropping the book, she rose with a tingle of heightened color, while Blake felt his heart beat fast.
Clapp dwelt for some time upon this first interview, and the smoke-house; as he had previously hinted to Hazlehurst, he laboured to make that affair "look ugly," to the best of his ability. If the language of the Longbridge lawyer had been respectful throughout the preliminary proceedings, his tune in the court-room changed completely.
On the contrary, I think it is the duty of every man, so far as he has the opportunity, to aim at correct notions on everything within his reach." "Well," remarked the doctor, "you only confirm me in my opinion. I shall be more unwilling than ever to let Ben go; since even you, Harry Hazlehurst, who are a good deal better than most young men, confess the harm travelling has done you."
"I don't think Jonathan will be able to exterminate all the trout in the land," said Hazlehurst, although he is a shamefully wasteful fellow; but I really think there is some danger for the oysters; if the population increases, and continues to eat them, in the same proportion they do now, I am afraid Jonathan of the next generation will devour the whole species."
Wyllys met him with something of the cordial manner of old times, he immediately recovered himself. He kissed the hand of Miss Agnes, as in former days, and saluted Elinor in the same way, instead of the more brotherly greetings with which he used to meet her of old. "And here is Jane, too, Harry," said Mrs. Hazlehurst, who had just embraced her sister.
To Hazlehurst, the most amusing part of Ellsworth's story was, an allusion to a certain resemblance in character between Mrs. Taylor and 'one whom he had so much admired, one whom he must always admire. "Now, Elinor, do me the justice to say I was never half so bad as that; I never pretended to think Jane like you, in one good quality."
Hazlehurst, who saw that Harry would not explain himself without being questioned. "Engaged, very decidedly, and positively, I am happy to say. Is there anything so very wonderful in my having declared an attachment to Elinor; I am sure I have liked her better than any one else all my life." "Engaged to Elinor!" exclaimed Robert Hazlehurst, much relieved. "I am delighted to hear it.
"He did stutter once in a while, Sophia, when he was in a passion." "I never heard him." "Young Stanley had one good quality, Mr. Hazlehurst, with all his faults; he spoke the truth you could believe what he said." "My good brother, you are mistaken there, I can assure you.
