"He is on top now, but he may drop like a load of bricks any minute. Who can tell?" "Oh, you needn't be jealous of him," Mitchell began, blandly. "He can't crow over you." "Jealous of him!" Mostyn smirked. "I am not jealous of any one, much less Delbridge." "Of course not, of course not," and the old man laid a caressing hand on Mostyn's shoulder.
Drake sat at the head of the table as unconcerned as if nothing unusual had happened to him in the night. He spoke to John Webb and Mrs. Drake about the meeting to be held that day at the church and praised the preacher's powers and sincerity. It was the philosophical Webb who had something to say more in harmony with Mostyn's reflections.
Saunders was reading a letter one morning as he walked along the shaded road from the store to his house. It was from James Wright, the cashier of the bank, who was giving him some of the particulars in regard to the double tragedy in Mostyn's life. "The whole city is shocked," the letter ran. "Nothing else is spoken of. Mostyn has the sympathy of all.
Oh, dear, how dreadful! Men will drink and cheat and swear, but a cruel man seems so unnatural, so wicked." "To be sure, cruelty is the joy of devils. As I said to John Thomas when we heard about Mostyn's goings-on, we have got rid of the Wicked One, but the wicked still remain with us."
Mostyn's introduction to them. She thought Ethel had hardly treated the Dennings fairly. Everyone was wondering they had not met him.
He was cryin' an' kickin' an' wouldn't pay no 'tention to 'er. He kept up such a'sturbance that she couldn't dress to go out. He said he was goin' to the bank to tell you, an' he got clean down the street 'fore I saw 'im." The child was looking straight into Mostyn's eyes. To him the expression was fathomless. "What is the matter, Dick?" he asked. "I want my Daddy," the boy sobbed.
Mostyn of Segraid, a young man to whom Sir Thomas Mostyn's title will go, if he does not marry, but whose property, being much encumbered, made him no match for Cecy and her forty thousand pounds; and we were censured for not taking better care, and suffering her to wed a Welsh gentleman, object of ineffable contempt to the daughters of Mr.
He laughed with her, but his laugh died on his lips, for he saw her glance in Mostyn's direction, and thought he saw a shadow flit across her eyes. The fact that she did not mention Mostyn's return was in itself significant, he decided, and his agony became so intense that he was afraid she would read it in his face. He had never known before the full depth and strength of his love.
Your father told me he was now out of Mostyn's power; he said you had saved the estate, but he gave me no particulars. How did you save it?" "Bought it!" "Nonsense!" "House and lands and outlying farms and timber everything."
She has soothed Mostyn's wounded pride with appreciative flattery and stimulated his ambition. She has promised him great things in India, and she will see that he gets them." "He must be completely under her control." "She will never let him call his soul his own, but she will manage his affairs to perfection. And Dora is forever rid of that wretched influence.
