I can say, from the bottom of my heart, that you have never given me cause for real anxiety, your conduct has been exemplary, and I never saw such attention to religion in any young man. These are mere trifles 'Oh, hush, father! exclaimed Louis. 'You are only making it worse; you little know what I am! If Mr. Holdsworth would come! 'He could only tell you the same, said his father.
Towards Christmas my dear father came to see me, and to consult Mr Holdsworth about the improvement which has since been known as 'Manning's driving wheel'. Mr Holdsworth, as I think I have before said, had a very great regard for my father, who had been employed in the same great machine-shop in which Mr Holdsworth had served his apprenticeship; and he and my father had many mutual jokes about one of these gentlemen-apprentices who used to set about his smith's work in white wash-leather gloves, for fear of spoiling his hands.
Holdsworth ceased to shiver, and while Fowler and Perley still fed the fire, the five resumed their places against the wall, their rifles again lying across their knees, a forest precaution so customary that no one could take exception to it. Apparently they dozed, but they were nevertheless wide awake.
'What is it? cried Louis, the blood rushing into his cheeks so suddenly, that Mr. Holdsworth felt guilty of having disregarded the precautions that he had fancied exaggerated by the fond aunt. 'Poor fellow he has not but, checking himself, he added, 'I am particularly anxious to hear of him.
I tried to help her, 'Have you finished getting peas? taking hold of the half-filled basket she was unconsciously holding in her hand; 'or may we stay and help you? 'If you would. But perhaps it will tire you, sir? added she, speaking now to Holdsworth. 'Not a bit, said he. 'It will carry me back twenty years in my life, when I used to gather peas in my grandfather's garden.
What instinct made me so thankful that I was alone with my dear unobservant cousin? What made me hurry them away into my coat-pocket? I do not know. I felt strange and sick, and made irrelevant answers, I am afraid. Then I went to my room, ostensibly to carry up my boxes. I sate on the side of my bed and opened my letter from Holdsworth.
Put it as you will, only give me an answer of some kind or another a true answer, I mean and don't repeat my words, Paul. He was shaking all over as he said this. I did not delay a moment in answering him, 'I do not believe that Edward Holdsworth ever played tricks on Phillis, ever made love to her; he never, to my knowledge, made her believe that he loved her.
Holdsworth to be buried among their kin, and know how it has preyed on the minds of the dying that they might not lie here among their own people. 'Change the subject, Fitzjocelyn, said his father: 'the thing is done, and cannot be undone. 'The undoing is my daily thought, said Louis.
I had to leave the Hope Farm on Sunday afternoon, as I had Mr Holdsworth's work as well as my own to look to in Eltham; and I was not at all sure how things would go on during the week that Holdsworth was to remain on his visit; I had been once or twice in hot water already at the near clash of opinions between the minister and my much-vaunted friend.
Next time I'll write it all down in the top of my hat, with a pathetic entreaty that if my hat be stolen, the thief shall fulfil the commissions, and punctually send in the bill to the Rev. W. B. Holdsworth! 'I shall hardly run the risk, said Mr. Holdsworth, smiling, as he parted with them, and disappeared within his clipped yew hedges. 'Poor, ill-used Mr. Holdsworth! cried Aunt Catharine.
