John Henry Shorthouse, the templar, the confessor of music, was, and concurrently, the apologist of philosophic light. Engaged to a powerful mechanism of romantic dogma, the nett article of its creed; the neochromatic acoustic regalia of stage eloquence, the key, or longest recurrent note; the van or middle the next, the sinuous lever of stage discipline.
I loved Bobby so he has Cynthy's eyes. One day Dorland oh, Nett, of course I oughtn't to have stayed there, I know it now; but I was only sixteen, and what did I understand! And my mother was dead. One day oh, please, Nett, you can guess. He said something to me. I made him leave the house. Before I could make plans what to do, he came back mad with drink.
In the meantime, wool fell in the English markets to 1s. and 15d. per pound. The nett proceeds of the shipment did not nearly cover the advance made; and the hapless shipper, already in debt to his agent for supplies, and without a penny of cash at his command, was called upon to make good the difference, which he was unable to do.
There was an oppressive silence, in which she saw that something moved him strangely, and then he answered: "No, he was going by the name of Halbeck Hiram Halbeck." The girl gasped. Then the whole thing burst upon her. "Hiram Halbeck! Hiram Halbeck, the thief I read it all in the papers the thief that you caught, and that got away. And you've left the Mounted Police because of it oh, Nett!"
Has any one seen him?" "Only Billy Goatry," he answered, working his way to a solution of the dark problem. "Only Billy Goatry knows him. The fellow that led the singing that was Goatry." "There he is now," he added, as Billy Goat passed the window. She came and laid a hand on his arm. "We've got to settle things with him," she said. "If Dorl comes, Nett "
"Lucette is Grandmamma's woman, and Perkins is my Aunt Dorothea's," said I. "But what have they got to do? That's what I want to know," said my Aunt Kezia. "Well, Lucette gets up Grandmamma's laces and fine things," said I, "and quills the nett for her ruffles, and dresses her hair, and alters her gowns " "What's that for?" said my Aunt Kezia.
"I've been taking a few little things already. Easton Syrup for example." "Strychnine. It carries you for a time and drops you by the way. Has it done you any good any NETT good? It has I can see broken your sleep." The doctor turned round again to his patient and looked up into his troubled face. "Given physiological trouble I don't mind resorting to a drug.
And you've kept Dorl's child with your own money all these years?" "I've got four hundred dollars a year, Nett, you know; and I've been dressmaking they say I've got taste," she added, with a whimsical smile. Nett nodded his head. "Five years. That's twenty-five hundred dollars he's stolen from his own child. It's eight years old now, isn't it?" "Bobby is eight and a half," she answered.
Better to do it now when Bobby is young and can't understand." "Or read the newspapers," he commented, thoughtfully. "I don't think I've a hard heart," she continued, "but I'd like to punish him, if it wasn't that he's your brother, Nett, and if it wasn't for Bobby. Dorland was dreadfully cruel, even to Cynthy." "How did you know he was up here?" he asked.
Suppose then a West India estate to yield at this moment a nett income of 500 l. per annum, this income would be increased, according to Mr. Steele's experience, to somewhere about 1700 l. per annum.
