"Who did you see any of our people?" "Oh, yes the Nortons and the Mathers and the Higginsons and the Sewalls I don't know all. "Good day; remember me to my kind brother Joseph and his wife," said she, and Raymond rode on. "What did that crafty creature wish to find out by stopping me?" he thought to himself. "He did not mention Captain Alden. Yes, he went to consult him," thought Mistress Putnam.
Jed was sent for long ago, but he had gone somewhere into the interior on a prospecting trip, and was very hard to reach. It is doubtful if word gets to him at all until too late. As you know, perhaps, it is rather an unfortunate case. He has not been home for years, anyway, and the Nortons James is Mrs.
Altogether, it was a highly satisfactory genealogy and it had Betty's entire faith. The Nortons were every bit as good as the Malroys, which was saying a great deal. Their history was quite as pretentious, quite as vague, and as hopelessly involved in the mists of tradition.
And well they might, for none of the owners who had gone before had been of as gentle blood as they; and now they would probably never be taken down from the walls, for my uncle had bought the house, and my uncle's son would inherit it; and it had never yet been known that a Norton of our branch of Nortons had lived wastefully or come to want.
These halls were lined with portraits of dead Nortons, men and women, who looked as much at home as if the grand old house had always borne their name.
They never meddled with my corn, so far as I could discover. The home of the Nortons, in Cambridge, who were at the time of this paper in Europe. For a few years I had crows, but their nests are an irresistible bait for boys, and their settlement was broken up. They grew so wonted as to throw off a great part of their shyness, and to tolerate my near approach.
I suppose the bullet had been aimed at me; at any rate, I, who was on horseback in the open, was unhurt, and the man lying flat on the ground in the cover beside me was killed. There were several pairs of brothers with us; of the two Nortons one was killed; of the two McCurdys one was wounded.
It was during the darkest of these days that a new turn in Milly's fate came unexpectedly. She had been to a Sunday luncheon at the Nortons, and was walking back along the Drive, thinking a little sadly that even her old pals had invited her only at the last moment, "to fill in." She was no more any sort of social "card."
Sally Norton was small and blonde and gay. She laughed overmuch. Vivie was tall and sentimental, a brunette. They came once to the West Laurence Avenue house for Sunday supper. Horatio did not like the sisters; he called them in his simple way "Giggle" and "Simper."
