Will you come in, my young friends, and share an old man's homely luncheon?" Gladly would they have done so, but Ellen had promised to return to Oakwood in time for that meal, and was compelled to refuse; adding, that both her brother and cousin might, for the Rectory was so near one of the entrances to the park, she could easily return alone; but such was not Mr. Howard's intention.
Howard, and one or two others, she knew were coming in the evening, but that Lord St. Eval expected his brother Louis to arrive at Oakwood by eight or nine o'clock that same evening, was indeed information startling in the extreme. Would he not be accompanied by his preceptor?
I don't believe you can find a 'phone nearer than Truesdale." "How far's that?" asked the Senator, after an expressive pause. "'Bout fifteen miles by the river road. You have to go round by way of Oakwood. It's going to rain, too," he added, glancing at the clouded sky.
For miles around Oakwood the name of Herbert Hamilton was never spoken without a blessing. There he could do good; there he could speak of God, and behold the fruits of his pious labours; there was Mr. Howard ever ready to guide and to sympathise, and there was the field of Nature spread before him to fill his heart with increased and glowing adoration and reverential love.
At the cross-roads he waved a gay "good-by" to the Oakwood surrey as it bore away from him the lady of his love. He stopped his mule and looked long after it, and threw a kiss at its bulky form as it plunged into the wood.

For this hot dusty road over which they toiled and perspired so was the road to glory, the avenue down which the girls of Oakwood, led by the Winnebagos, would march to triumph over their sworn rivals, the Hillsdale-ites. Agony had gone through the town and picked out the most promising girls, whom, with the addition of the Winnebagos, she formed into a company.
"Who's going to shoot him?" asked Hinpoha. "Oh, we'll get Slim and the Captain to do it," replied Sahwah. With the death sentence hanging over his head, the Kaiser was led away to await his execution. Dinner hour was over in Oakwood and the evening life of the stately old town was beginning to stir when Mr.

I can see you are. Aren't you a One Only?" "Well, I'm by myself," said Rosalie, not understanding but most anxious to say the right thing.
Immediately on discovering his loss which was soon after having reached his office Flint, in something like a fright, telephoned down to the Oakwood Heights laboratory and instructed Herzog, in person, to make a careful search for it and to report results inside an hour.
No doubt Erick had started to come and see Marianne, his friend in Oakwood, and on his way there had fallen into the Woodbach by accident, Marianne thought, for in her anxiety for his welfare, she had not spoken a word with Erick about the accident. Now he was fast asleep. Marianne sat down beside him and lifted the cover now and then to listen whether he was breathing properly.
