If only clothes did not wear out so fast." "Ah!" A sigh from the very depths of the father's heart. "Not a bit too fast for my clever fingers, though," said Ursula, quickly. "Look, John, at this lovely braiding. But I'm not going to do any more of it. I shall certainly have no time to waste over fineries at Longfield." Her husband took up the fanciful work, admired it, and laid it down again.
Her father drew her to him, and kissed her soft, shut, blind eyes. Then, sighing, he rose, and proposed that we should all go home. This first feast at Longfield was a most merry day. The men and their families came about noon.
The ring of men and horses opened for Wambush to pass out. He said nothing, and did not turn his head as he rode down the mountain into the mysterious haze that hung over the valley. "What do you say, boys?" proposed Jim Hunter to Longfield and Burks. "Let's ride down the road a piece with Westerfelt." "All right," both of them said. There was a general scramble of the band to get mounted.
Halifax, when shall I have the honour of ordering your long-tailed grey ponies?" Not many weeks afterwards we went to live at Longfield, which henceforth became the family home for many years.
Whether, now that our children are growing up, and our income is doubling and trebling year by year, we ought to widen our circle of usefulness, or close it up permanently within the quiet bound of little Longfield. Love, which say you?" "The latter, the latter because it is far the happiest." "I am afraid, NOT the latter, because it IS the happiest."
She's dyin' to git a letter from some'rs; she comes reg'lar every day an' goes away powerfully disappointed." "Never seed her before as I know of," said Longfield, handing Worthy his basket of eggs. The girl suddenly turned down the sidewalk. She passed Mrs. Webb's cottage and the bar and went into the hotel. Mrs. Floyd met her at the door. "Mis' Floyd, I want to see Harriet," she said.
Involuntarily it carried me back perhaps others besides me to the day at Longfield when little Guy had devoted himself to his "pretty lady;" when we first heard that other name, which by a curious conjuncture of circumstances had since become so fatally familiar, and which would henceforward be like the sound of a death-bell in our family Gerard Vermilye.
There were two routes from Greenhithe to Stanstead, the one to the right through Longfield and Ash, the other to the left through Southfleet and Nursted. There was very little to choose between them as regards distance, and Mrs. Kirke had drawn a careful sketch-map with a few notes as to the characteristics of each route.
Whether our live stock, brought up in the law of kindness, were as well-trained and well-behaved as our children, I cannot tell; but certain it is that we never found any harm from this system, necessitated by our early straits at Longfield this "liberty, fraternity, and equality."
"I move we give the whelp six hours to git out'n the county," said Joe Longfield. "You all know I've been agin Toot." "That would be too merciful," said Burks. "Boys," the leader cried, "Wambush has broke a rule in tryin' this thing on us. You've heerd the motion; is thar a second?" "I second it," said Jim Hunter.
