And I can't say that I had any conscious intention to elevate the stage with my play." "But you had it unconsciously, Brice," said Louise, "and it can't help having a good effect on life, too." "It will teach people to be careful how they murder people," Maxwell assented.
The two things run together and he's very shrewd and capable in his way. He's going into it as a speculation, and of course he wants it to be worth his while. Maxwell says his expectation of newspaper promotion is mere brag; they know him too well to put him in any position of control. He's a mixture, like everybody else.
The maid appeared at the door and said something, which neither of them could make out at once, but which proved to be the question whether Mrs. Maxwell had ordered the dinner. "No, I will go I was just going out for it," said Louise. She had in fact not taken off her hat or gloves since she came in from her walk, and she now turned and swept out of the room without looking at her husband.
It appeared that, upon second thoughts, he had reserved this purely American drama for the opening night of his engagement in one of the most distinctively American cities, after having had it in daily rehearsal ever since the season began. "I should think they had Pinney out there," said Maxwell, as he and his wife looked over the interview, with their cheeks together.
Maxwell had three or four apprentices, out of whom he managed to get a good deal of work at a small cost. Among these was a little fellow, whose peculiarly delicate appearance often attracted my attention. He seemed out of place among the stout, vulgar-looking boys, who stitched and hammered away from morning until night in their master's dirty shop. "Where did you get that child?"
Maxwell said the only thing that comforted her is asking God to bring Tommy back." Sir Edward made no reply, only dismissed her more peremptorily than usual, and when she had left the room he leaned his arms on the chimney piece, and resting his head on them, gazed silently into the fire with a knitted brow.
By the side of the north transept, wherein was the Wharton recumbent figure, I noticed a new-made grave, and casually looking over it saw a dark figure lying therein. The grave was half in the shadow of the church, half lit by the moon, so that I could not see very distinctly, but as I bent over it I thought I recognised with a sudden start of horror the knickerbockers of my friend Maxwell.
She had seen him in conference with his mother that afternoon, and was sure the two were agreed upon whatever suggestion of purchase Jarvis might be about to make. Yet Sally held her breath. What if what if Max should, after all, jump at the offer? "I'll tell you what I'll do," said Maxwell Lane. "I'll compromise.
"I do, for sartin, sar." "And he has left you to practise law for him in his absence?" returned the visitor, with a grin. "No sar, I takes care ob de buildin." "Fudge! Maxwell always shuts up his room when he leaves town;" and the stranger walked round the room towards the private apartment, much to the consternation of Dido. "No, Massa, he tell me, monf ago, to keep de room in order."
The two turned back together and walked silently up to the inn. There she told him the story. She had been told that Captain Maxwell was come in the Elizabeth, for provisions for Lord Howard Seymour's squadron, to which his new command was attached; and that he was even now in harbour. At that she had gone straight down alone. "Oh, Anthony!" she cried, "you know how it is with me.
