He's going to stay with the Emmetts, and Mrs Emmett is perfectly distracted; she says he's accustomed to so much, she doesn't know how he will put up with their plain way of living. Though what she means by that, with late dinner and afternoon tea every day of her life, is more than I know." "Why, that's splendid!" replied Lorne. "Good old Hesketh!
"Mister Alfred Hesketh may pass in an English crowd, but over here he's just an ignorant young man, and you'd better not have him talking with his mouth at any of your meetings. Tell him to go and play with Walter Winter."
Petersburg in a huff, and, if he stops at Morteyn, tell him he's a fool and that I want him to come back. You're the only person on earth I can write this to. "Faithfully yours, MOLLY HESKETH." Jack laughed aloud, then sat silent, frowning at the dainty bit of letter-paper, crested and delicately fragrant.
Such was the Job Hesketh that I had known and loved for many years, and I saw no reason why his genial temper and buoyant heart should not remain with him to the end of his life. Yet within six months the man changed completely.
A week later Mr Hesketh was concernedly accosted in Main Street by a boy on a bicycle. "Say, mister, how's the dook?" "What duke?" asked Hesketh, puzzled. "Oh, any dook," responded the boy, and bicycled cheerfully, away. Christmas came and went.
She's so great Hesketh, it's pathetic! she offers an undefended shore to attack, and a stupid confidence, a kindly blindness, above all to Americans, whom she patronizes in the gate." "I believe we do patronize them," said Hesketh. "It's rotten bad form." "Oh, form!

Nobody ever hears any news at Morteyn," said Molly Hesketh, dejectedly. "Are you going, Jack?" "Going? Where?" "Does your telegram throw any light on Jack's, Ricky?" asked Sir Thorald. But Rickerl von Elster turned away without answering.
A few of the younger men set forth on foot, and others had their servants out in ambush on the roads to try and collect transport. It was most important that we should get on, as Hesketh had to be in Pindi to go before a medical board on the 14th, in order to be invalided home to England; and as he was most anxious to catch a steamer sailing on the 25th, he had no time to spare.
Children, I think I hear the carriages coming; you must not make Lady Hesketh wait." "I have half a mind to stay," said Molly Hesketh. Sir Thorald said she might if she wanted to enlist, and they all tried to smile, but the sickly gray of early morning, sombre, threatening, fell on faces haggard with foreboding young faces, too, lighted by the pale flames of the candles.
My visitor looked me very straight in the face with his searching eyes, and after a moment's pause, asked: "Is that really your decision? Am I to report that to Duperré that you refuse?" "If you want to steal the woman's pearls why don't you do it yourself?" I suggested. "Because I am not her friend. You have called at her room for her, Hesketh has reported.
