She did so. Subsequently she asked me not to refer to the escapade, for obvious reasons. It was a woman's little secret, Brett, and I was compelled to keep it." "Anything else, Winter?" demanded the barrister, wrapped in a cloud of his own creation. "That is all, sir, except the way in which I heard of Miss Layton's meeting with Mr. Hume." "Not through Fergusson, eh?" "Not a bit.
Both wind and tide had favoured the voyagers, and before sunset the pinnace lay at anchor directly in front of Captain Layton's house. The captain had seen them coming, and with Cicely beside him was on the shore to welcome them.
Again the cloud fell on him; little scenes piteously clear rose before him, of the road by Rusper convent, Layton's leering face, a stripped altar; and for each there was a tale if he could but tell it. And still the bright eyes never flinched. It seemed to him as if she was watching him curiously; her lips were parted, and her head was a little on one side; her face interested and impersonal.
Here comes our carriage, Helen." When the dust of the departing hack had filtered through the morning sunlight, two pairs of tear-dimmed eyes gazed at the slip of blue paper in Dr. Layton's hand, a check for five thousand dollars. "We saved a man that time, sure enough!" murmured the old doctor softly. Emma S. Allen in the Wellspring. Brotherly Kindness
"It is about the Visitation of the Religious Houses. I am to go with the Visitors in September." Beatrice felt a sudden and rather distressed interest; but she showed no sign of it.

Grandma had to take the sweater she was knitting for Bob home with her to finish, but she sent it to him as soon as it was done. And a handsome sweater it was, dark gray and warm and comfortable.
Layton's livery, with an anxious-faced monk or two here and there among them, and a buzz and clatter rose on all sides. One of Dr. Layton's secretaries who had been at Durford, recognised Ralph and came up immediately, saluting him deferentially. "The doctor is with the Sub-Prior, sir," he said. "He gave orders that you were to be brought to him as soon as you arrived, Mr. Torridon."
Layton appeared and announced that supper was ready, and they all obeyed the call with alacrity, Bob's chums being included in the invitation. The meal was excellent, as Mrs. Layton's always were, and there was a great deal of jollity as it progressed.
Chris snatched a morsel of wool that Morris put forward from behind, wiped the eyelids, and dropped the fragment into the earthen basin at his side. "Per istam sanctam Unctionem...." And the ears were anointed the ears that had listened to Layton's filth, to Cromwell's plotting; and to the cries of the oppressed.
