"What does it mean?" said I. "It means money," said she. "Or rather it means the want of money. Mrs. Work told me last week she believed her husband would have to resign. All last quarter's salary is overdue, and something beside. It seems that Mr. Wheaton has begun to act, at last. I don't see what they want to make such men church officers for."
Ellery made some sort of an answer, but he could not have told what it was. The sight of Grace had brought back all that he was trying so hard to forget. Why couldn't one forget, when it was so painful and so useless to remember? Spring once more; then summer. And now people were again speaking of Captain Nat Hammond. His ship was overdue, long overdue.
She would not condemn Evelyn without a hearing, but Evelyn would have to explain, if explanation were possible. She laid the letter on her desk and turning away from it tore open the last envelope, which bore the name of a business house in one corner. It contained a bill from Hanford's, the largest department store in Overton. At the bottom was written. "This account is long overdue.
Don't say I didn't call your attention to the fact that his payment was overdue!" "Yes, if I had done that I would have had him, but how much would I have had him for? Paltry nine thousand dollars! I wanted him to get into the financial quicksands up to his chin and then I'd have had him! Besides, Skinner, I had to go slow. Just think what would have happened if Florry found me out!
But when we got tired of waiting for the steamer of our preference, the boats of all the lines being long overdue, as usual, owing to low water in the river, and took the first which presented itself, we found that the latitude in choice, so far as accommodations were concerned, was even greater than had been apparent at first sight.
There was impatience in the eyes which confronted him. She regarded him steadily. "Why? It's always why with you, when feelings get the better of me. Maybe you never feel dread, or doubt, or worry. Maybe you never feel anything human. Say, you're a man and strong. I'm just a woman, and and he's my father. He's overdue by six weeks. He's not back yet, and we've had no word from him all summer."
Going down to breakfast one morning, she found her brother clean-shaven, immaculate, monosyllabic, awaiting the overdue meal. The French windows were open to the scent of myriads of roses outside, and also to the morning sun, far too high. The negro servants were hurrying to and fro, Molly nowhere visible.
It was already overdue, and now that any hour might bring it he was wretchedly nervous as to the result. He did not yet wish to break with Felicity, but still less did he wish to lose Mary. Without having analyzed it to himself, he would have liked to keep the Byrdsnest and all that it contained as a warm and safe haven to return to after his stormy flights.
Late in the afternoon, I was pacing to and fro in the narrow exercise-ground, speculating idly as to the delay of my dinner, which was overdue not that I felt any interest in the subject, but it was a sort of break, and fresh starting-point in the monotony of hours when I was summoned once more into official presence.
I hope that the States will cooperate with the Congress in adopting uniform standards in their voting laws that will make it possible for our citizens in the armed forces overseas to vote. In the District of Columbia the time is long overdue for granting national suffrage to its citizens and also applying the principle of local self-government to the Nation's Capital.
