Jeremy's front chamber was as cool and comfortable as the contracted apartments of the crowded boarding-house at Nahant, and he insisted upon both her and Gertrude to take up their quarters for a week or two; and then, if Emily were no better, he hoped to have leisure to start off with them in search of health.
Then Ernest, turning on his heel, said to someone behind him: "Let's get away from all these girls!" The tears burnt in Jeremy's eyes, hot and salt. He clenched his fists and gazed upon a garden that swam in a mist of tears and sunlight. He felt a sudden strange impulse of family affection.
For instance, we did not place Miss Jeremy's chair on a scale, to measure for any loss of weight. Also the theory of rods of invisible matter emanating from the medium's body, to move bodies at a distance from her, had only been evolved; and none of the methods for calculation of leverages and strains had been formulated, so far as I know.
Nobody will know. No bouquets. You won't have to stammer a speech at any dinner given in your honor." "D'you want to do it, Mabel?" asked Ticknor, looking at her keenly across the table. "Of course I do!" "All right, girl. Only, hurry back." He looked hard at Grim again, then into my eyes and then Jeremy's. "She's in your hands.
