Millar, in his slightly old-fashioned professional black coat and white tie, was leaning back in his easy-chair sipping his sherry, and occasionally drumming lightly on the table near him with these fine long sensitive fingers which were a born doctor's fingers. Mrs.
You sent Annie and me to London to take these costly music-lessons; Annie, I wish we had made more of them. You arranged that we should go on that foreign tour with the Ludlows." "We did our best for you your father and I. I think I may say that," admitted Mrs. Millar simply. Dora went on eagerly with her generous catalogue.
Millar is not rich, and there may be obstacles I sincerely trust they will not be insurmountable to your coming back in the autumn, to work with a will and at the same time with moderation." Poor May did not work herself into a brain fever, but she did in other respects exactly as Miss Lascelles a woman who understood the position had clearly foreseen.
Millar wanted to take it from me, and to undo the blanket, but my grandfather said 'Bide your time, Mary; bring the child into the house, my lass; it's bitter cold out here. So we all went up through the field, and through our garden and the court.
A group of peasants, with which Rose Millar had been taking a great deal of pains, had been summarily condemned and dismissed by the master.

To apologize for the heinous offence she had committed would be a greater enormity than the offence itself. But when Miss Franklin had time to think it over afterwards, she was under the impression that Dora Millar had forgotten all about their altercation.
She appears to have infinite Wit and a good humour unalterable; her conversation during the half hour they set with us, was replete with humourous sallies, Bonmots and repartees; while the sensible, the amiable Julia uttered sentiments of Morality worthy of a heart like her own. Mr Millar appeared to answer the character I had always received of him.
Millar, "after all your worry, when you have not had more than a couple of hours' rest." She was already reproaching herself keenly for having contradicted and argued with him. She had never been able to comprehend, for her comfort, that to a man like him an argument is both rousing and refreshing.
Inevitably Tom Robinson's recent intercourse with the family had been confined to a formal call or two, awkward and unpleasant to all concerned.
