Miner sat for a long time at the table without moving. At last she rose and went sighfully at work. "Morty, I want you to run down to Mr. Wilber's and ask him to come up and see me about some work." She stood at the window and watched the boy as he stepped lightly down the road.
Many a president of a great business started life as a clerk, or even office boy " "That is what I have always known would happen to Morty. I am sure, sure, that you are doing him a cruel injustice." "I hope I am. But I am a failure myself and I know what a man needs in the way of natural equipment to make a success of his life."
"And the garrison at Tralee," Asgill rejoined drily, "to ask where he is! And his troopers to answer the question." Morty fell back on sullenness, and bade him manage it his own way. "Only I'll trouble you not to blame me," he added, "if the English soger finds the Colonel, and ruins us entirely!" "I'll not," Asgill answered pithily, "if so be you'll hold your tongue."
"I will," Morty answered, genuinely distressed. "But I'm asking, is there no other way?" "There is none," Asgill said. And he opened the gate. Payton was waiting for him on the path under the yew-trees, with two of his troopers on guard in the background. He had removed his coat and vest, and stood, a not ungraceful figure, in the sunshine, bending his rapier and feeling its point with his thumb.
With a permanent trained nurse, and of course they would have one, the cost would easily be doubled...thousands were required for the proper education of a child...even if she had girls she should wish them to go to college; she was not half educated herself...and boys, with their extravagances, their debts, they cost a mint; it was better for children to be born outright in the humbler classes than to be born into a rich set without riches themselves...it all put her in a panic every time she thought of it....Morty was so sensible and had such a high sense of responsibility, of course he understood...children, even when small, would hamper him fearfully, especially as he had not even begun to make his million....As for herself she would be more economical than ever and help him like the good pal she was.
I'm tired of the old round, and would like to get a job if Morty wasn't so opposed says it would ruin him." "I should think so. At least let us wash our dirty linen at home....I have been thinking while you talked. I've only spent two whole winters in town since I married, end I've always thought I'd love to live in the old house.
"Faith, your mother's son, achora. However, you know the proverb 'A burnt child dreads the fire. You have a neck still, Barney beg pardon, Mr. Norton don't forget that fact." "And I'll take care of the said neck, believe me, Morty; I shall keep it safe, never fear." "Take care you don't keep it a little too safe. A word to the wise is enough, Bar Mr. Norton."
Alexina knew that her invitations to all important and many small dinners, not avowedly bridge or poker parties, were as inevitable as crab in season; but there were too many young men whom girls would infinitely prefer to enliven the monotony of crab a la poulette, to any married man, particularly one who had as little to say as poor Morty.
Didn't the poor woman lose her senses by it?" "Yes," replied Tom, "I have just mentioned the circumstance to his lordship." "And beg pardon, Mr. Norton doesn't she take you for her husband from that day to this?" "Yes, so I have said." "Oh, God help her, poor thing! Isn't she to be pitied?" added Morty, with a dry roguish glance at Mr. Norton; "throth, she has a hard fate of it.
"No, not on him, Morty; but concerning this forthcoming marriage, if it takes place, I dare say I must travel; I can't depend upon Dunroe's word." "Why, unlikelier things has happened, Mr. Norton. I think you'll be forced to set out." "Well, I only say that if Mr. Norton can prevent it, it won't happen.
