If she chooses to hold her own she will hold it, and neither you nor the Colonel can ever say her nay. What did Orrin tell me? That she would never be mistress of that house? Orrin was right, she never will; but who could have thought of a tragedy like this?
Then forcing himself still more to seem impassive, he bowed to Orrin, and with great suavity remarked: "If she had chosen me to that honor, as I had every reason to believe she had, it would not have been many more weeks before I should have welcomed her into a home befitting her beauty and her ambition. May I ask if you can do as much for her?
I was amongst them, and as I stood looking intently at the sky that was now one blaze of glory from horizon to zenith, Orrin stepped up behind me and said: "Do you want to take a ride to-night?" Seeing him look more restless and moody than ever, I answered "Yes," and accordingly about eight that night he rode up to my door and we started forth.
"Uncle Orrin gave me some money just before we came away, to do what I liked with; and I haven't wanted to do anything with it till now." But this seemed to hurt Mrs. Rossitur more than all the rest. Leaning her head forward upon Fleda's breast and clasping her arms about her she cried worse tears than Fleda had seen her shed.
Oliphant's 'Beleaguered City' that you lent me last term?" said. Beetle. The Padre nodded. "I got the notion out of that. Only, instead of a city, I made it the Coll. in a fog besieged by ghosts of dead boys, who hauled chaps out of their beds in the dormitory. All the names are quite real. You tell it in a whisper, you know with the names. Orrin didn't like it one little bit.
I am sorry for him in a way, but not so deeply as I might be if he were more humble and more truly sensible of the mischief he has wrought. Orrin will yet make himself debtor to the Colonel. Something has happened which proves that fate or man is working against him to this end, and that he must from the very force of circumstances finally succumb. I say man, but do I not mean woman?
Fleda stifled her sigh, and went on. "I am sure there are things that might be done things for the booksellers translating, or copying, or something, I don't know exactly I have heard of people's doing such things. I mean to write to uncle Orrin and ask him. I am sure he can manage it for me." "What were you writing the other night?" said Hugh suddenly. "When?"
And yet I do not want to do his will or take Orrin to that house. I might have borne with sad equanimity to see her married to the Colonel, for he is far above me, but to Orrin ah, that is a bitter outlook, and I must have been a fool to have promised aught that will help to bring it about.
Huxley; William George Jordan's "Little Problems of Married Life"; Orrin Cock's "Engagement and Marriage"; and that much misunderstood but helpful book "Love and Marriage" by Ellen Key. The problems of co-education and coördinate education have not a little bearing on the adjustment of the two sexes in marriage.
For Orrin is not a safe man, I fear, and a faith once pledged to Colonel Schuyler should be kept. I do not think Juliet understands just how great a man Colonel Schuyler promises to be. When her father told me to-night that his daughter's betrothed had been charged with some very important business for the Government, her pretty lip pouted like a child's.
