Normally and in private life he was the weigher for the Blue Jay; and Ormsby was directed to the scale shanty which served as the weigher's office. The interview was brief and conclusive; was little more than a rapid fire of question and answer; and for the greater part the sheriff's affirmatives were heartily eager.
"Take warning by me. Love with your head and not your heart, Dora. Don't risk everything for a foolish girl's passion, when a rich man offers you a proud position." "I shall never marry Vivian Ormsby," said Dora, scornfully, "I shall never marry anybody. Oh, Dick! I am his. And you, Mrs. Swinton I thought one day to call you mother.
If you take me to any more meetings of your committee of safety, I shall be like the man without music in his soul 'fit for treasons, stratagems and spoils." Thus Penelope, after the breaking up of the Van Brock dinner party. Elinor had elected to walk the few blocks intervening between Alameda Square and Tejon Avenue, and Ormsby had dismissed his chauffeur with the motor-car.
"Do you mean to tell me that there is no engagement between you and Miss Brentwood?" "Just that." Ormsby put all the nonchalance he could muster into the laconic reply, but he was anticipating the sequent demand which came like a shot out of a gun. "And there never has been?" Ormsby grinned. "When you are digging a well and have found your stream of water, it's folly to go deeper, David.
"That he undertakes not to molest or in any way pursue Miss Dora Dundas." "Molest is rather a hard word, Mr. Ormsby. I am aware of the rivalry between you and my son, and I recognize that he has made a dangerous enemy. Surely, Miss Dundas is the best judge of her own feelings?" "Miss Dundas would have married me but for the return of your scapegrace son," cried Ormsby, flashing out.
He suspected the checks, and said nothing just like him the only thing he could do, after the row at the club dinner." "Is it on the authority of Mr. Ormsby that these foul slanders on my dead lover have been made? Are they public property, or just a private communication to you, father?" "It is the talk of the town, girl. Why, his own mother has had to own up that the checks were forgeries.
'Well, I have no doubt he will make up for lost time, said Mr. Ormsby, demurely. 'Nothing like mamma's darling for upsetting a coach, said Lord Milford. 'You ought to bring your cousin here, Valentine; we would assist the development of his unsophisticated intelligence. 'If I go down, I will propose it to him. 'Why if? said Mr.
"It's the police!" "John, you have betrayed me after all!" screamed his wife, looking wildly around like a hunted thing. He bowed his head in assent. He misunderstood her meaning. "Ormsby has been here. He found out by a slip of the tongue." The police had arrived with a warrant to search the house. Mrs. Swinton seemed turned to stone.
"Ah! my dear Ormsby," said Mr Berners, "do not mention Watier's; you make my mouth water." "Shall you stand for Birmingham, Ormsby, if there be a dissolution?" said Lord Fitz-Heron. "I have been asked," said Mr Ormsby; "but the House of Commons is not the House of Commons of my time, and I have no wish to re-enter it. If I had a taste for business, I might be a member of the Marylebone vestry."
Kent yielded reluctantly, and they took a car for the sake of speed. It was Penelope who opened the door for them at 124 Tejon Avenue; and Ormsby made it easy for his coadjutor, as he had promised. "I want to see your mother in the library for a few minutes," he began. "Will you arrange it, and take care of Mr. Kent until I come for him?"
