"Men are always the difficulty, aren't they?" said the Imp. "Poor child, and you've lost yours!" "Yes, poor Adolf!" There was a touch of duty in Mina's sigh. She had been fond of Adolf, but his memory was not a constant presence. The world for the living was Madame Zabriska's view. "I'm so glad Janie's found a friend in you and a wise one, I'm sure."
I am wondering if there isn't a girl here who would like to be the teacher here and help to make Round Creek what it ought to be. If there is such a one, send them to us and we will do our best. If you will pay $10 a term, we will do the rest." Janie's little body was leaning far forward and her eyes were big with excitement. She knew a girl that would like to go. But $10 a term!
Now he's dead and left nothin' but trunks full of stage clothes and photographs and," contemptuously, "letters from fool women, and debts Lord, yes! debts enough." "But the boy, Zelotes. Janie's boy?" "He's been at this school place for pretty nigh ten years, so the lawyer feller said. That lawyer was a pretty decent chap, too, for a furriner.
He thinks he could take an interest in farming. There are ten weeks before he need go back to Cambridge, sufficient time for the experiment. Will you take him as a pupil?" St. Leonard grasped his head between his hands and held it firmly. "If I consent," he said, "I must insist on being honest" I saw the woefulness again in Janie's eyes. "I think," I said, "it is my turn to be honest.
He's genuine, she's homely, and Janie's a good girl. They were very civil." "I suppose so." "Not overwhelmed," he added, as though wishing to correct a wrong impression which yet might reasonably have arisen. "I didn't mean that. I've met Mr Iver, and he wasn't at all overwhelmed. Mrs Iver was out when I called, and I was out when she called."
There were twenty men in each mess, and seventeen messes on that particular mess-deck, and here the members simultaneously ate, slept, sang, washed their clothes, cursed and laughed, skylarked or quarrelled all round during the waking hours of their watch-off. Still Nosey did not forget. Then came Janie's letter from the Middlesex Hospital. Janie was in a "decline."
The object of all those long preparations, which had occupied his mother and himself for so many years, was achieved. He sat in Addie Tristram's place, and none said him nay. His mind was not much on these matters at all. Even his engagement occupied him very little. Janie's letter had arrived and had been read. It came at mid-day, and the evening found it still unacknowledged.
She did not object much to her own part, but she cavilled suddenly at Janie's or at Harry's relation to Janie. Would it be better to share adversity with him? Perhaps. But, after all, she did not fancy him in adversity. The third course recommended itself victory for him, but not Janie. Who then?
But it was during the still hours of the night when she lay awake revolving plans in her mind that she seemed to see her way clearly toward a proper and judicious use of the money. A dollar or two should be added to the price usually paid for Janie's shoes, which would insure their lasting an appreciable time longer than they usually did.
"I think Janie's rather fond of Mr Tristram, anyhow." This was simply a feeler on Mina's part. "Well, my dear, the position! Blent's been under a cloud though people don't seem to mind that much nowadays, to be sure. But the new Lady Tristram! They've always been the heads of the neighborhood. She'll have him, no doubt, but as for being in love with him well, could you, Madame Zabriska?"
