Gerrish followed his guests down the store, and even out upon the sidewalk, where he presided with unheeded hospitality over the superfluous politeness of Putney and Dr. Morrell in putting Mrs. Munger and Annie into the phaeton. Mrs. Munger attempted to drive away without having taken up her hitching weight.
I was on my way to the committee with it, but I'm in a hurry. The governor is shipping arms into the city to- morrow night from Benicia, by a small sloop." "Are you sure of this?" asked Keith. "Certain." "Where did you get the information?" "That I cannot tell you." Keith still hesitated; Morrell turned on his heel. "Well, I've told you.
My mother, Louisa Frances Morrell, was a native of Morristown, New Jersey; and her ancestors were among the founders of that beautiful town. Her maternal great-grandfather was the Rev. Dr. Timothy Johnes, the pastor of the Presbyterian Church, who administered the sacrament of the Lord's Supper to General Washington. Her paternal great-grandfather was the Rev.
But he became more dogged and surly still. Why should his brother succeed when he himself had failed? Why should his brother need help anyway? Why must this woman come poking into a man's most private affairs? Eudoxia surmised, through the medium of his sullen mood, a house divided against itself. She left Morrell in anger and drove to her husband's office. Every man had rebuffed her.
They think there must be something wrong if such good men are opposed to Mr. Gerrish." "And I suspect," said Dr. Morrell soberly, "that Putney's championship isn't altogether an advantage. The people all concede his brilliancy, and they are prouder of him on account of his infirmity; but I guess they like to feel their superiority to him in practical matters.
I've been starved too long. I'm as tired of my little reed of a voice as of the tinkle of a musical box." The close of the evening was brought about only by the return of Morrell from his engagement. Keith had utterly forgotten his fatigue, and was tingling with the enthusiasm to which his nature always rose under stimulus.
But there was an insincerity in the effusion of some of the more nervous women, and in the reticence of the others, who were holding back out of self-respect. She met Annie and Morrell with eager relief. "Well, Annie?" "Perfect!" "Well, now, that's very nice; you can't go beyond perfect, you know. I did do it pretty well, didn't I? Poor Mr. Brandreth! Have you seen him?
Sansome was mixed up with the Keiths perhaps he could be used On impulse Morrell hailed him genially, and invited him to take a drink. The exquisite brightened, and perceptibly hastened his step. Morrell's rather ultra-Anglicism always fascinated him. They turned in at the El Dorado, and there seated themselves at the most remote of the small tables.
"Why, that you're very much out of health, or " Lyra made another of her tantalising stops. "Or what?" "Or Dr. Morrell is very much in love." "Lyra, I can't allow you to say such things to me." "No; that's what I've kept saying to myself all the time. But you would have it out of me. I didn't want to say it." It was impossible to resist Lyra's pretended deprecation. Annie laughed.
"Well, she's going to, if the Morrell woman has her way," observed Ben Sansome dryly. Polk stretched his long legs, and smiled his desiccated little smile. "He's a pretty enterprising youngster more ways than one," said he. On the evening of the third day after his latest interview with Doctor Jones, Keith threw down his paper with a cry of triumph.
