Neither was in the habit of concealing her feelings under the convenient cloak of society observance, and both were jealously suspicious of Lydia Orr. Fanny had met her only the week before, walking with Wesley Elliot along the village street. And Mrs. Solomon Black had told Mrs. Fulsom, and Mrs. Fulsom had told Mrs. Deacon Whittle, and Mrs.
She called herself Lydia Orr.... She had been called Lydia Orr, as far back as she could remember; so she did no wrong to anyone by retaining that name. But she had another name, which she quickly found was a byword and a hissing in Brookville. Was it strange that she shrank from telling it?
The family were in comfortable circumstances, and young Orr received a good education, which he afterwards turned to account in the service of his country. We know little of his early history, but we find him, on growing up to manhood, an active member of the society of United Irishmen, and remarkable for his popularity amongst his countrymen in the north.
Macartney, the Rector of Antrim, that I'm listening to. Well, reverend sir, I'll stop my tune at your bidding. Not because you're a magistrate, nor yet because you're a great man, but just for the sake of the letter you wrote to save William Orr from being hanged." The pipes gave a long wail and were silent. Then another man came up the street.
There was a sort of scornful honesty in Jim Dodge's nature which despised all manner of shams and petty deceits. His code also included a strict minding of his own business. He told himself rather sharply that he was a fool for suspecting that Lydia Orr was other than she had represented herself to be. She had been crying the night before. What of that?
If his name isn't Orr, Jim, what is it?" She shot a quick glance at him. "Good Lord!" muttered Jim profanely. He drew the car up at the side of the road and stopped it. "What are you going to do?" inquired Ellen, in some alarm. "Won't it go?" "When I get ready," said Jim. He turned and faced her squarely: "We'll have this out, before we go a foot further!
Orr think the terms of South Carolina's restored relations to the Union "too degrading and humiliating to be entertained by a freeman for a single instant"? Is it because he wishes to have the Rebel debt paid? Is it because he desires to have the Federal debt repudiated? Is it because he thinks it intolerable that a negro should have civil rights?
"Maybe I shall drive over to see those poor women." "Maybe?" "Yes." "You can't have her." Jake turned, and looked down at her from his great height. Archie Orr had just ridden off. Diane returned his look fearlessly, and there was something in the directness of her gaze that made the giant look away. "I think I can," she said quietly. "Go and see to it now." The man started.
She adds, as worthy of remark, that he attended regularly the afternoon Sunday service in the parish church at Llantysilio, where now a tablet of Lady Martin's placing marks the spot. Churchgoing was not his practice in London; "but I do not think," says Mrs Orr, "he ever failed in it at the Universities or in the country."
He pushed open the door and walked boldly in. "Good-morning, Miss Orr," he exclaimed, advancing with outstretched hand. "Good-morning, Deacon! ...Well, well! what a melancholy old ruin this is, to be sure. I never chanced to see the interior before." Deacon Whittle regarded his pastor sourly from under puckered brows. "Some s'prised to see you, dominie," said he.
