"There was." "One whom she loved and trusted, perhaps?" "Whom she loved and trusted only too well. O, Valentine, must not that be terrible? To confide with all your heart in the person you love, and to find him base and cruel! If my poor aunt had not believed Montagu Kingdon to be true and honourable, she would have trusted her friends a little, instead of trusting so entirely in him.
Of late, though, he had begun to show a slight inclination to go off on expeditions with other boys, in which girls were not included. But this was accepted by his sisters as a natural course of events, for of course, if King did it, it must be all right. Next to Kingdon in the swing sat the baby, Rosamond, who was five years old, and who was always called Rosy Posy.
My men strained every muscle, but the pace was impossible it could not last; and the rowers in the French boat hung over their oars also with enthusiasm. With the glass of the officer near me Kingdon of Anstruther's Regiment I could now see Doltaire standing erect in the boat, urging the boatmen on.
Kingdon, thanks to Nance Olden and behind her, at the foot of the steps, was a frail little old-fashioned bundle of black satin and old lace. I lost my breath when the Bishop hailed his wife. "Maria," he said some men say their wives' first names all the years of their lives as they said them on their wedding-day "I want you to meet Miss Olden Nance Olden, the comedian.
Lord Durnsville and his brother are not popular in the country, and there are no falsehoods too cruel for the malice of his enemies. She answered him with some such fine speech as that, and when the next morning came she was gone." "She eloped with Mr. Kingdon?" "Yes.
Even Kingdon, though he was good chums with Dick, had other chums, and, while sorry to have Dick go, he didn't take it greatly to heart. Marjorie was truly trying to be brave, but she looked at Gladys with a heart full of love and longing to keep her friend near her.
"Oh, well, I'd have some things that I might have had and can't get now," was all the satisfaction that she gave Nannie. It was through Mary that Nannie had obtained her position in Kingdon Knox's office. Mary had boarded with Nannie's mother for five years. Nannie was fourteen when Mary came. She had finished high school and had had a year in a business college, and then Mrs.
And Nannie is going to marry Dick. In a way it is a happy ending, and in a way it isn't, because I've grown away from the kind of life I must live with Tommy, and I am afraid that in some ways I am not fitted for it. But Tommy says that I am silly to be afraid. And in the future I am going to trust Tommy." And so Mary went out of Kingdon Knox's life.
Waddington appeared standing outside the mediaeval Market Hall of Chipping Kingdon. In another, wearing fishing boots, and holding a fishing-rod in his hand, he waded knee deep in the trout stream between Upper and Lower Speed. And after that he said firmly, "I will not be photographed any more. They've got enough of me."
And on Christmas Day at the head of a great table, with servants to the right of him and servants to the left, he carved a mammoth turkey; and there was silver shining, and glass sparkling and lovely women smiling, all in honor of the merry season. But Kingdon Knox was not merry as he thought of the jade beads and of Mary's empty desk. With the Merryman girls economy was a fine art.
