That was another time she sent for me." Nourse leaned grimly back in his chair. "She told me that if I ruined her husband's 'career, as she called it, she'd break us apart once and for all. She wouldn't have Crothers in the firm not only because it meant money lost, but because Crothers' wife had turned her down." Ethel looked at him sharply. "Oh he has a wife," she said.
And if you believe them, Joe, I'm through! Go to Nourse or to Sally Crothers, and they'll tell you I have spoken the truth. If you won't believe either them or me, go on alone without me or else marry Fanny Carr. But if you do believe me and we're to go on together now, you'll have to drop Fanny for good and all, and leave Amy way behind.
The preacher, a tall kindly young man, came in and seemed about to speak; but after a look at her face he stopped. He had come from a church two blocks away. Joe and Amy had never been to his church, and it was Nourse who had brought him here. Nourse had learned of him from the undertaker. Several boxes of flowers came. Later from a milliner's shop two pretty autumn hats arrived.
At the Salon des Beaux-Arts, 1902, Miss Nourse exhibited "The Children," "Evening Toilet of the Baby," "In the Shade at Pen'march," "Brother and Sister at Pen'march," "The Madeleine Chapel at Pen'march." In 1903, "Our Lady of Joy, Pen'march," "Around the Cradle," "The Little Sister," and "A Breton Interior."
At ten o'clock the master proposed tacking the ship, and the first lieutenant went down to report his wish to the captain. "Very well, Mr Nourse," replied the captain; "turn the hands up." "Ay, ay, sir," replied the first lieutenant, leaving the cabin. "Call the boatswain, quarter-master all hands 'bout ship."
"Really, Mr Nourse, I don't exactly perceive the necessity " But at that moment the fore and main-top-gallant-masts went over the side; and the look-out man at the fore-top-gallant-mast-head, who had been called down by the first-lieutenant, but did not hear the injunction, was hurled into the sea to leeward. "Helm down!" cried the master.
With his partner, then, she conspired to take Joe over to Paris in April, to stay for a year if he would agree. And as part of the conspiracy, Ethel had several meetings with Nourse and Sally Crothers, in the hope of bringing Sally's husband into the firm to be there in Joe's absence.
He folded his paper carefully, put it in his pocket, took off his spectacles and put them in their silver case, took a red silk handkerchief from his hat, wiped his face, and put the handkerchief back. Then he said, shortly: "That's what I have come for." Wood, still leaning on the fence, looked at him, and said nothing. "That's just what I've come for," said Captain Nourse.
All at once she turned on him fiercely. "There's that pity again in your eyes! 'Oh, how young, you are thinking. Then let me tell you, Mr. Bill Nourse, that you are not to pity me! If you do," she cried, "the time will come when you will be pitying yourself for being cast off like an old leather shoe from one of the most brilliant and attractive circles in this town!
And he took a seat. "I wanted to see you," she began, but Nourse interrupted her. "Would you object," he asked her, "if I do the talking for a while? I've got it fairly clear in mind, just what I want to say to you." "Why, yes, of course, if you prefer," she said, a little breathlessly. "Well, Mrs.
