And to guess another." "What do you mean by that?" asked Norris. "I mean that I imagine, on very strong grounds, that your family desire to see no more of you," said the lawyer. "O, they may be very wrong; but that is the impression conveyed, that is what I suppose I am paid to bring about, and I have no choice but to try and earn my hire."
I never can remember." "But, Mrs. Norris, what am I to do?" "Why, you must just be very nice and thoughtful to Nancy and as decent as you can be to Henry, and pray the Good Lord will help you." "Will you pray for me, too?" Tom had played too much baseball not to appreciate the value of organized cheering. "Yes, I'll pray for you."
As they reached the door a young lady, carrying a book and walking very languidly, came out. Hewitt stepped aside to let her pass, and afterward said interrogatively: "Miss Norris, your daughter, Sir James?" "No, my niece. Do you want to ask her anything? Dora, my dear," Sir James added, following her in the corridor, "this is Mr. Hewitt, who is investigating these wretched robberies for me.
If Norris knocked you down with one hand and put you up on the board with the other, you'd have to play all the same. You mustn't have any feelings where the School is concerned. Nobody's ever refused to play in a first match. It's one of the things you can't do. Norris hasn't given you much of a time lately, I admit. Still, you must lump that. Excuse sermon. I hope it's done you good.
I think he wanted all of us to believe in her, and yet he was annoyed with Betty and Mrs. Calladine for believing in ghosts at all. Rum chap. Well, anyhow, Miss Norris she's an actress, some actress too dressed up as the ghost and played the fool a bit. And poor Mark was frightened out of his life. Just for a moment, you know." "What about the others?"
And if I have good luck, your mother shall have some." It was a beautiful evening, mild and still, and the drive was as pleasant as the serenity of Nature could make it; but when Mrs. Norris ceased speaking, it was altogether a silent drive to those within.
For some days I inclined towards an unfortunate boating accident in the pond Mark, a very indifferent swimmer, myself almost exhausted in a gallant attempt to hold him up. And then he himself gave me the idea, he and Miss Norris between them, and so put himself in my hands; without risk of discovery, I should have said, had you not discovered me. "We were talking about ghosts.
"I'll try to find out as I go down." "Where are you going?" "I don't know that either. I must think it over." "Never mind; remember what I said before; you're in the right, so keep a stiff upper lip," returned Frank. When Richard went down he passed through the shipping-room. Earle Norris was hard at work, sending off orders. He looked surprised, or pretended to, as the boy entered.
He did not like the manner in which the shipping-clerk had spoken of Frank and his family. "I did not think the Massanets kept boarders," continued Norris. "I thought they were too retired for that." "I am the only one, and am treated like one of the family." "Frank has got a sister, hasn't he?" "Yes." "Maybe that's the attraction," suggested Norris. "My landlady has a pretty daughter, too."
It was so agreeable to her to see him again, and hear him talk, to have her ear amused and her whole comprehension filled by his narratives, that she began particularly to feel how dreadfully she must have missed him, and how impossible it would have been for her to bear a lengthened absence. Mrs. Norris was by no means to be compared in happiness to her sister.
