"But why do you want them?" "I don't want them particularly; but it would no doubt please the Hendersons more than any other thing we could do-and, well, I don't want to offend Henderson just now. It's a little thing, anyway. What's the use of all this social nonsense? We are not responsible for either the Hendersons or the Blunts being in the world. No harm done if they don't come.
That her loss of interest in things intellectual, in a wide range of topics of human welfare, which is in the individual soul a sign of warmth and growth, made her less companionable to some is true, but her very absorption in the life of her world made her much more attractive to others. I well remember a dinner one day at the Hendersons', when Mr.
Can you believe this tall creature is poor dear Henry's daughter? as Clara hastened to greet her father's playfellow, with an alacrity which piqued Lady Britton into a supercilious aside to Lord Fitzjocelyn that the Hendersons were in poor circumstances, and no one visited them. 'And is no one here whom I know? Not one of the old set, George? asked the old lady, mournfully.
This was quite apart from the fact that she was not so sympathetically companionable to us as she once was, and it was this very attractiveness of the worldly sort, I fancied, that pained her aunt, and marked the separateness of their sympathies. How could it be otherwise than that our interests should diverge? It was a very busy summer with the Hendersons.
I shouldn't wonder if he would like to meet such a man as Henderson." "And then the Van Dams and Miss Tavish; they were at Henderson's, and would help to make it easy." "Yes; well, let's see. The Schuyler Blunts?" "Oh, they wouldn't do at all. They wouldn't come. She wouldn't think of going to the Hendersons'." "But she would come to us. I don't think she would mind once in a way."
Uncle Dick, a negro servant of one of the Hendersons, was the fiddler of the neighborhood at weddings, husking parties and dances. Dick's presence was essential. Uncle Dick was fully aware of his own importance, and in consequence assumed a great deal of dignity in his bearing. Before setting out he always dressed himself with the greatest nicety.
"Christina will make a good wife, and she will keep a tidy house, I'll warrant her." "She will, Marget. And it is a very important thing; far more so than folks sometimes think. You may put godliness into a woman after she is a wife, but you can not put cleanliness; it will have to be born in her." "And so Jamie Logan is to have a berth from the Hendersons?

"I suppose your Uncle Eric will be home before long; he can stay here till I come back or till the troubles are over. In the meantime, you could be with the Harrises, or Hendersons, or Mrs. Churchill." "No, sir; I can stay here, which is infinitely preferable on many accounts. I will, with your permission, invite Mrs.
As soon as he had bestowed his belongings in his stateroom, he went out on the side of the deck farthest from the groups of leave-taking, and stood staring down, as if he considered whether the straightest route might not lie in that direction, into the greasy, shallow hollows of the harbour water, at the very moment when the Burton Hendersons, over their very late coffee, had discovered the item of his departure.
