In obedience to Keith's positively expressed request she had kept away from the downtown districts, leaving the necessary marketing to Wing Sam. For the moment, as has been explained, her points of touch with society were limited. It happened that before the trouble began the Keiths had been subscribers to the Bulletin and the Herald, and these two journals continued to be delivered.
The home of the Keiths was in the high country back from the great watercourses, and Gordon had never had a pair of oars in his hands, nor did he know how to swim; but he meant to learn. The sight of the boats rowed about by boys of his own age filled him with envy. And one of them, when he first caught sight of it, inspired him with a stronger feeling than envy.
"That young Smith feller that's been visitin' the Keiths was in today," said the Captain. "Didn't want to buy nothin'; said he just happened in, that's all. Asked where you was, he did. I didn't know he knew you, Mary-'Gusta." Mary-'Gusta, who was busy clearing the supper table, answered without looking round. "He and Edna Keith bought some things at the store yesterday," she said.
She was, however, conscious when she revived, and sent for her uncle, whom she begged to let her be laid in his churchyard, "near the willow-tree; not next to my aunt, I'm not good enough," she said, "but I could not bear that old ruined abbey, where all the Keiths go, and Alick always wanted me to be here Alick was right!" The dreamy mist was coming on, nor was it ever wholly dispelled again.
I'm having a good time; a very much better time than if I went sailing with the Keiths." "What's the matter with the Keiths? They're as nice folks as come to South Harniss." "Of course they are." "Well, then! And you're as good as they are, ain't you?" "I hope so. Uncle Shad, why don't you wear a white flannel suit in hot weather? Mr.

On his way out, he had gone by London, with a view of getting legal absolution for his Jacobitism, so far, at least, as to be able to inherit the Earldom of Kintore, which is likely to fall vacant soon. By blood it is his, were the Jacobite incapacities withdrawn. Kintore is a cadet branch of the Keiths; "John, younger Son of William Sixth Lord Marischal," was the first Kintore.
The music started up again. The Keiths arose and made their adieux. Mrs, Sherwood looked after them, her bright eyes tender. Mrs. Keith was the only woman who had yet spoken to her. "Isn't she simply stunning?" cried Keith. "She has something about her that makes most of these others look cheap." "She's really wonderfully attractive and distinguished looking," agreed Nan.
Morrell, uttering the same wish, had received from him a different reply, but he had forgotten that. She laughed again, the tension broke, and she sank back into her usual relaxed poise.
