But he tried it again on the next, and found that Larkin had been over the ground before him, and said so much about "the imposition of the thing," that he could do little or nothing. There was a speciousness about Larkin's manner of alluding to the subject, that carried people away with him; particularly as what he said favoured their inclination to keep a tight hold on their purse-strings.
As the Snark said, 'The method employed I would gladly explain, While I have it so clear in my head, If I had but the time and you had but the brain But yet much remains to be said. Anyway I've done my best to atone." Kate came in with a telegram in her hand. "And have you sixpence about you?" she said. "Of course it's not in Larkin's day's work to deliver telegrams." It was not officially.
"And I seem to recall that one of his flyers left me this little souvenir on the top of my head. I'd like to pay the Count back in person." "You'll never get the chance!" Cowan replied. "But if all our plans work out, you will meet him in person soon in this very room!" "What!" It was a duet of surprise. "Yes, here. Count von Herzmann in person and in Lieutenant Larkin's long lost uniform."
And all the purple shadows moved and hovered and changed till, softly and mysteriously, they embraced black night. Beautiful, wild, strange, silent Surprise Valley! Shefford saw it before and beneath him, a dark abyss now, the abode of loneliness. He imagined faintly what was in Fay Larkin's heart.
"Thank you," piped up a small boy. The first session of the Mission Sunday School was considered a success and those responsible for it were encouraged to continue the work. Some change in the teaching force was necessary, for John Larkin's duties as preacher would not permit him to serve as a permanent teacher.
"Not another word," he said; "you have more than convinced me that no one who has any regard for his immortal soul would deal anywhere but at Octavius Smith's. Let us go on and swell Larkin's commission at once. You are probably better up in housekeeping than I am, Lynn, if I forget any item you must jog my memory. My sister will be quite delighted that we have saved her all this trouble."
But they came home with their pockets full of chestnuts, and said nothing about it. At length Mr. Peterkin had it cut down and brought secretly into the Larkin's barn. A week or two before Christmas a measurement was made of it with Elizabeth Eliza's yard-measure. To Mr. Peterkin's great dismay it was discovered that it was too high to stand in the back parlor.
The fog makes one cough a little this evening. Larkin's answer, thanks, and enquiries, came gravely in return. And with the same sad smile he looked round on the figures, some marble, some painted stone, of departed Brandons and Wylders, with garrulous epitaphs, who surrounded them in various costumes, quite a family group, in which the attorney was gratified to mingle.
'I see, indeed, murmured the honest vicar, in a compassionating tone, and quite entering into the spirit of Mr. Larkin's mournful appeal, as if the being in large business was the most distressing situation in which an attorney could well find himself.
I am not exactly in a state to see reasons clearly just now." "You can see the necessity of having a couple of hundred dollars, I suppose?" "Oh yes as clear as mud." "You must have that sum at least, or to proceed will be the height of folly." "I can see that too." "It is owing to Larkin's mean pride that you are driven to this extremity. He ought to pay for it."
