But while she believed that a great love carried, mysteriously concealed in its flame, its own pardon, she had through some fifteen years of married life remained faithful to Jerry Shorter: who was not, to say the least, a Lochinvar or a Roland. Although she had had nervous prostration and was thirty-four, she was undeniably pretty.
Over bank, bush and scar, They'll have fleet steeds that follow!" quoth young Lochinvar." "I know Susan wouldn't come, but she may know of some one else," went on Patty. "Here we are; stop at this house." "No, Miss Patty," said Susan, when the case was laid before her, "I don't rightly know of anny wan for the place.
The bare matter of fact was, the bride had eloped during the night. "For young Lochinvar had come out of the West, And an underbred, fine-spoken fellow was he." He was a bullock-driver of superior manners and attractive personality, and was the only man in Australia who waxed and curled his moustaches.
It took Katie some time to convince him that, just because he had the licence in his pocket, he could not snatch her up on his saddle-bow and carry her off to the nearest clergyman after the manner of young Lochinvar.
As a matter of fact it had never been her intention to accept him, but now that she was able concretely to visualize her Lochinvar of the future, Mr. Whey's lack of qualifications became the more apparent.
This is just one of those queer situations in which you'll get the credit and she'll get the blame. You can always make a poem on Young Lochinvar, when it's less easy to approve of the damsel who springs to the pillion behind him. I don't pretend to account for this idiosyncrasy of human nature; I merely state it as a fact.
See here, now, you-all don't cry no more and when I come back I'll sure come a-ridin' like this Lochinvar sport and marry you-all a whole lot. That's whatever! How'd you like that!" "When will you come?" demanded Marian. "Oh, right soon, honey! And you'll sure have a tame and dotin' husband, I can tell you. But now, good-by!" "You'll come back?" "You're shoutin', I will!
"And carried me off, a new Lochinvar come out of the West!" she laughed. "Oh, Kenneth, how can you be so foolish? It is absolutely indecent of you. I like Mr. Steell, and I think he likes me, but our friendship is purely platonic. I never give him a thought, I assure you." "I know you don't, but I'm not so sure about him. He's a man and men are only human " "He's a gentleman," corrected Helen.
"You mad child I was always afraid you might do something like this; but I will say I'm not altogether sure you've acted foolishly." "Thank you, you dear old Muetterchen! and you'll come to see us you shall see how happy I can be with this this boy this Lochinvar, Junior I'm sure Mrs. Lochinvar always lived happily ever after." Mrs. Van Geist kissed them both.
I shall probably have that horrid Lochinvar piece recited at me the rest of my life, Johnny, and I should think you would be willing to apologize to the sheriff and be nice now and make them let you off easy. And dad blames me for eloping with you and thinks we had it planned before he got home yesterday, and he says there was no excuse and it showed a lack of confidence in his judgment.
