For the man who will fail will never take a resolution. Those among you whom fate has cut out to be nobodies are the ones who will never try! Even harmless pleasures hurt if they win you from your purpose. Lorimer's old merchant writes to his son at Harvard: "You will meet fools enough in the day without hunting up the main herd at night."
It was as earnest a face as if it had been of cast-iron; and she saw that Mr Lorimer's only chance of preserving a whole skin was to like her with all his might. "Is there any one else?" "There's Mr Peeper's assistant, Mark Lutter a clever man, and a great scholar. I hate scholars, so he dines in the servants' hall, or far down the table below the salt." "Are you serious?" enquired Jane.
"I should think the reason ought to be perfectly apparent to you" and her ladyship's eyes flash angrily. "Sir Philip is all very well he is by birth a gentleman, but the person he has married is not a lady, and it is an exceedingly unpleasant duty for me to have to receive her." A feint tinge of color flushes Lorimer's brow.
I sat next her at dinner, and tried to talk to her, but she would only listen to that young Strangeways." "Strangeways! I wonder if that is Susan Lorimer's son?" "Probably, for his Christian name is Lorimer." "I knew her rather well as a girl.
The hesitation lasted only for a moment. Then his jaw stiffened. "It's all right, Arlt," he said briefly. "I am going to accompany myself, this time." As he crossed the stage, he glanced hastily from Bobby to Bobby's cousin. Bobby was glowering at the audience and grumbling into Sally's ear. Four rows in front of them, Beatrix sat silent at Lorimer's side.
Lorimer's face brightened into a very gentle and winning softness as he looked at her. "I assure you, Miss Gueldmar, I am not pretending in the least. I'm no scholar. Errington is, if you like! If it hadn't been for him, I should never have learned anything at Oxford at all. He used to leap over a difficulty while I was looking at it. Phil, don't interrupt me, you know you did!
Phil, don't wake me so abominably early as you did this morning. If you do, friendship can hold out no longer we must part!" "All right!" laughed Errington good-humoredly, watching his friend as he sauntered out of the saloon; then seeing Duprez and Macfarlane rise from the table, he added courteously, "Don't hurry away on Lorimer's account, you two.
It was Calvert's, saying, "I want you to understand, sir, that if we had not struck Lorimer's camp we should have starved to death. I saw the accident from a distance, and again it's my firm opinion that he ran the utmost risk to extricate Ormond. If the latter were my own brother I should consider myself indebted to him for life."
Lorimer." "Yes, we were. We were talking about Miss King, and she is Mrs. Lorimer; although at present she prefers to be called Miss King. I think she's quite right. It would be extremely bad taste to go on using poor Lorimer's name after what she did to him. He wouldn't like it. You wouldn't like it yourself, Major, if she'd killed you." "I don't know that she did kill him," said the Major.
They knew there was no chance for Lorimer, but they took her on her own terms, hoping something perhaps, and at any rate glad to be a comfort to one whom they really loved, while Lady Tyrrell was delighted to promote the visit, seeing that the family did more for Lorimer's cause than he did for himself; and in his own home who could guess the result, especially after certain other manoeuvres of her ladyship had taken effect?
