In the first place, he had been born in Lowell and had never been west of Worcester; in the second, his salary was sixteen dollars a week: it is true she had once fancied the Scottish terrier style of hair-cut abruptly ending in the rounded line of the shaven neck, but Lochinvar had been close-cropped. Mr. Wiley, close-cropped, would have resembled a convict. Mr.
One Scotch-Irish lassie seized the convenient opportunity, when the rollicking company of her male friends had set out to meet the bridegroom, to mount a-pillion behind a young New Hampshire Lochinvar, and ride boldly off to a neighboring parson and marry the man of her choice.
Sawed-Off Wilmott and the young Lochinvar from Glenoro came regularly, on alternate evenings, to see Ella Anne Long, and never found ropes tied across the gate, nor whips nor lap-robes missing, as in Tim's unregenerate days. Even Miss Weir testified that sometimes he would not do anything particularly outrageous in school for a week at a time.
"Tempted!" exclaimed Sybil. "To play the part of Young Lochinvar, you know. She would have gone with me!" he added excitedly. "She would have gone with me!" "My dear," returned his sister, "you could surely never dream of acting so dishonourably. Such an old friend as Colonel Faversham, too!" "Oh yes, I dreamed of it," said Jimmy.
Now in the light of yet fuller experience I wish Sir Walter were alive to-day so I might argue the question out with him. Let us consider the statement on its physical merits solely. Here we have Young Lochinvar swinging the lady to the croupe, and then he springs to the saddle in front of her.

"You played the farce for a limited engagement." "We joked about it a great deal, and I well, I got into the spirit of it one must at house-parties, you know," said Goward, deprecatingly. "I suppose so," said I. "I got into the spirit of it, and Miss Talbert christened me Young Lochinvar, Junior," Goward went on, "and I did my best to live up to the title.
She thought of young Lochinvar; she thought of the splendid ballads of her native land; she felt thrilled with the excitement of the moment; but how ghastly white was the moon, and how tremendously big and black the shadows where the moon did not fall! Both girl and horse felt these brightnesses and these shadows.
"To be sure," said Reckage "to be sure. That's a point." "It is a compliment to the sex," continued Harding, "when a great man is taken captive by a pretty face. Men, too, rally round a Lochinvar. Such an evidence of heart or folly, if you prefer to call it so is also an evidence of disinterestedness. So, on the whole, I cannot follow your objections to the new Mrs. Orange."
