Sure enough, there was Faith and another lady from Rhode Island whom Peggy introduced to her mother as Biddy Henshaw. But who was the seventh feathered person walking out of the door? Peggy counted again yes, there were the three Hendersons and Biddy Henshaw that made four; and Rhoda Rhodes, and her own dear Henrietta, and Henry Cox six hens and a cock there were surely seven hens.
Miss Tavish was an heiress in her own right, who never seemed to give a thought to the cost of anything she desired; the Hendersons, for any whim, drew upon a reservoir of unknown capacity; and even Mavick began to talk as if he owned a flock of geese that laid golden eggs. To be sure, it was pleasant coming home into an atmosphere of sincerity, of worship was it not?
"I'm like to greet with the good news, Andrew," she said, "it came so unexpected Jamie was just daundering over the sands, kind of down-hearted, he said, and wondering if he would stay through the winter and fish with Peddle or not, when little Maggie Johnston cried out, 'there is a big letter for you, Jamie Logan, and he went and got it, and, lo and behold! it was from the Hendersons themselves!
"Many of them were Kirkbean men, near kinsfolk of Kate o' the Shore, and others from Colvend Hislops, Hendersons and McKerrows, long rooted in the place. But when we were in mid-passage, we were chased and almost taken by a schooner that fired cannon and bade us heave to, but the Kirkbean men, who had Kate o' the Shore with them, bade our boat carry on, and engaged the pursuer.
But there were other cords torn asunder in Orchard Glen by the unfortunate contingency of that fatal evening. The Hendersons and the Browns, who had been lifelong friends, stopped speaking to each other; Mr. Sinclair and Mr.
But it's a pity that fashion has got hold of the country, and is turning our summers into a worry and a burden. I thought years ago when we went to Lenox that it was a good thing the country was getting to be the fashion; but now it's fashionable, and before we know it every desirable spot will be what they call syndicated. Miss Tavish says she is coming to visit the Hendersons there."
There was something in the war unseen by Thompson and the Hendersons and a countless host of intelligent, well-dressed, comfortable people who bought extras wet from the press to read of that merciless thrust through Belgium, the shock and recoil and counter-shock of armies, of death dealt wholesale with scientific precision, of 42-centimeter guns and poison gas and all the rest of that bloody nightmare they did not see the dread shadow that hung over Europe lengthening and spreading until its murky pall should span the Atlantic.
McQuae heard his voice, and gave a start that all but pitched him into the water. "Good God!" he cried, "I'd forgotten all about it." "About what?" I asked. "Why, it's the Palmers and the Grahams and the Hendersons. I've asked them all over to lunch, and there's not a blessed thing on board but two mutton chops and a pound of potatoes, and I've given the boy a holiday."
We've seen so little of our neighbors these last few years, that we haven't kept track of the new families who have moved into the neighborhood. I don't recollect any Hendersons about here, do you, Sister?" Miss Charity, who had followed her, shook her head. Bob looked at Betty, and Betty looked helplessly at Bob.
This disintegration is certain to take the spring and taste out of life, and commonly to habituate one to a lower view of human nature. There was no rupture between the Hendersons and the Brandon circle, but there was little intercourse of the kind that had existed before.
