"For the present, yes," replied Harley, evenly; "and I did so because I thought I saw a better way out of the trouble than an immediate quarrel with Heathcote a better way, above all, for Jimmy Grayson and the party." The Western men said nothing, though they looked their deep disgust, and presently they quitted the porch, leaving it, rocking-chairs and all, to the correspondents.
Heathcote all arrived at a particular spot within a few moments of each other one morning, all alike prepared and determined to get the view it commanded. Miss Noel had said to Job en route, "Do you think that I shall be able to get a fly and drive about the country a bit? I should so like it. Are they to be had there?"
The enemies of the Old Company proposed Papillon, once the closest ally and subsequently the keenest opponent of Child, and carried their point by a hundred and thirty-eight votes to a hundred and six. The Committee proceeded to inquire by what authority the Redbridge had been stopped. One of her owners, Gilbert Heathcote, a rich merchant and a stanch Whig, appeared at the bar as a witness.
"We are getting into slack habits, Lewes." He rose and rang the bell. "Apparently the Stott infant has had enough of it," suggested Lewes. "Perhaps he has exhausted the interest of dictionary illustrations." "We shall see," replied Challis, and then to a deferentially appearing Heathcote he said: "Has Master Stott come this morning?" "No, sir. Leastways, no one 'asn't let 'im in, sir."
"There is no use in beating about the bush; let us come to the heart of the matter at once. What are you going to do?" "What am I going to do?" repeated the girl in surprise. "What do you mean?" "I mean that we are in your hands. On your decision the life of Francis Heathcote hangs. I understand from Mrs. Goodman that she has put you in possession of the facts of the case.
By an accidental concurrence of moral and physical causes, much of that equality which distinguishes the institutions of the country is extended to the progress of society over its whole surface. Although the impetus of improvement was not as great in the time of Mark Heathcote as in our own days, the principle of its power was actively in existence.
"The doctor told me that she wrote the words and asked that they should be placed on her tombstone," said Philippa. "Poor soul!" "I did not know that," returned Isabella, "but I have sometimes thought that she must have hoped that Francis would see them some day; but her hope has been vain." "Why did you not go straight to Marion to Mrs. Heathcote, I mean, and ask her?" asked Philippa.
"Worth whose while?" demanded Heathcote Drayne, suspiciously. "Yours. Has your son come here to compete for either the West Point or Annapolis cadetship?" "What if he has?" "Then has Phin his certificates of good character with him?" demanded Tom, his blue eyes steely and cold as he looked straight and significantly at the elder Drayne. "Confound your impudence, Reade! What do you mean?"
"A bumptious fellow, that," commented Mr. Heathcote when they left. "He'd 'like to work with you, indeed!" "A fellow with ideas. I'd like to work with him," replied his uncle; "though he isn't burdened with respect for his employers."
His wife idolized him. His sister-in-law, Kate Daly, loved him dearly as she had cause to do, for he had proved himself to be a very brother to her; but she feared him also somewhat. The people about the Mary said that she was fairer and sweeter to look at even than the elder sister. Mrs. Heathcote was the taller of the two, and the larger-featured.
