"Well, there's no use in quarrelling," said Grace, "and I wouldn't advise you to worry father about it. You know he can't stand the name of Meason. It seems to me that neither of you care much whom you flirt with, you like so many young men." "It is better to like a dozen young men than one old one." "I shan't marry Mr. Berkins, no matter what you say.
No one thinks much of those girls the way Sally carried on with young Meason it was disgraceful they say she used to steal her father's money and give it to him Dr Dickinson could tell fine tales. Then gossip ceased, and they were in doubt if they might intercept the doctor and obtain news of his patient when he left Mrs. Heald's. Some strolled about the green, pretending to be taking the air.
"I say it is not fair; a man of my money should have a comfortable home to return to. Even the Southdown Road people have that; but no consideration is shown to me. My dinner is put back so that Sally may continue her flirtation with Meason in the slonk. Did any one ever hear of such a thing? A man's dinner put back so that that that "
Next day Willy called at the studio, and Frank told him what had occurred. "But I don't see why you shouldn't come to the Manor House," said Willy. "If you will only say something about the Measons, I think it can be made all right." "No, I'm not going to turn against Meason; I have always found him a good fellow. I know nothing about his flirtation with Sally."
Meason has made some valuable remarks on the lava where the villas of the middle ages are founded: the lava shows at least upon the ancient maritime villas of the Romans; so the boot of the moderns galls the kibe of the age preceding them; the reason seems to be the very great durability with which the Romans finished their domestic architecture of maritime arches, by which they admitted the sea into their lower houses.
Facts were demanded at a luncheon given for the purpose by Lady Meason, whose husband had once been Lord Mayor of London. This lady had gone to bed and stopped there for a month at the end of Sir Henry's year of office, in sheer chagrin that "Othello's occupation" was gone, and her crown of glory set upon another's head, while she must retire to the obscurity of Bayswater.
The doctor here has seen her in the field at the back here with Meason at nine o'clock at night." "Why did you allow her to leave the house at that hour? No young girl " "She always takes her dogs out in the evening; I cannot prevent her doing that. It appears, too, that she has had Meason up in her bedroom." "O James, you do not mean to say that my dear niece had a man in her bedroom!"
"That's Charley Gracey," remarked Miss Meason tartly, for she had the self-supporting woman's contempt for the rake. "Yes, she was lovely as a girl. I remember as well as if it were yesterday how happy she looked when I sold her her wedding gloves. She is a beautiful character, too, they say, but somehow Gabriella, even as a child, appealed to me more. She has three times the sense of her sister."
Save courage, he was without one redeeming quality, and his death freed the country from a terror which had long paralyzed its boldest spirits. "The 'Little Harpe' afterward joined the band of Meason, and became one of his most valuable assistants in the dreadful trade of robbery and murder.
There was, for instance, Miss Marye of the black silk counter, whose father had belonged to Stuart's cavalry and had fallen at Yellow Tavern; there was Miss Meason of the glove counter, and there was Mrs. Burwell Smith of the ribbon counter for, though she had married beneath her, it was impossible to forget that she was a direct descendant of Colonel Micajah Burwell, of Crow's Nest Plantation.
