Temple," he began, "and, if you will allow me to say so, handsomer, every day. Your trip to the Eastern Shore last spring did you no end of good," and the young attorney crooked his long neck and elevated his eyebrows and the corners of his mouth in the effort to give to his sinuous body a semblance of mirth. "Thank you, Pawson," bowed St. George, graciously.
I thought he had gone to Virginia but he doesn't answer any of my communications." A look of suspicion crept into the intruder's eyes. "You're not trying to deceive me, are you? It is very important that I should see Mr. Temple, and at once." Then his manner altered. "You've forgotten me, Mr. Pawson, but I have not forgotten you my name is Rutter. I lived here with Mr.
"He is not here," replied Pawson, rummaging the intruder's face for some clew to his identity and purpose in calling at so late an hour. "Are you sure?" There was doubt as well as marked surprise in the man's tone. He evidently did not believe a word of the statement. "Very sure," rejoined the attorney in a more positive tone, his eyes still on the stranger. "He left town some weeks ago."
Ingham-Baker, in a low and feeling tone, "you always were the soul of generosity." The "soul of generosity" gave an exceedingly wise little smile almost as if she knew better and looked up sharply towards the door. At the same moment the butler appeared. "Mr. Pawson, ma'am," he said. The little nod with which this information was received seemed to indicate that Mr. Pawson had been expected.
When you asked Harry he would smile and wink and perhaps keep on whispering to Pawson or Gadgem whose eyes were glued to a list which had its abiding place in Pawson's top drawer. Outside of these four conspirators yes, six for both Todd and Jemima were in it, only a very few were aware of what was really being done.
As for Harry the glad news had cleared out wide spaces before him, such as he had not looked through in years; leafy vistas, with glimpses of sunlit meadows; shadow-flecked paths leading to manor-houses with summer skies beyond. He, too, was on his feet, walking restlessly up and down. Pawson and Gadgem again put their heads together, Harry stopping to listen.
He, however, did not want to add any fuel to his increasing heat, so he answered simply: "Mr. Temple got caught in the Patapsco failure and it went pretty hard with him, and so what he didn't actually need he sold." The man gave a start, his features hardening; but whether of surprise or dissatisfaction Pawson could not tell. "And when it was all gone he went away is that what you mean?"
If I can show him that the new tenant has moved in already he might wait until his first month's rent was paid. You see that " "Oh, yes, Pawson, I see see it all clear as day," interrupted St. George "have been seeing it for some months past, although neither you nor Gadgem seem to have been aware of that fact." This came with so grave a tone that Pawson raised his eyes inquiringly.
This, rendered into common prose, meant that Harry, after a prolonged consultation with Pawson and Gadgem, would shed his outer coat, the spring being now far advanced, blossoms out and the weather warm and that Kate would tuck her petticoats clear of her dear little feet and go pattering round, her sleeves rolled up as far as they would go, her beautiful arms bare almost to her shoulders her hair smothered in a brown barege veil to keep out the dust the most bewitching parlor-maid you or anybody else ever laid eyes on.
Have you forgotten the bills that man Gadgem brought in? the five hundred dollars due Slater, and the horse Hampson sold me the one I shot?" and one of his old musical laughs rose to his lips. Pawson sprang forward and seized the intruder's hand. He would recognize that laugh among a thousand: "Yes I know you now! It's all come back to me," he cried joyously. "But you gave me a terrible start, Mr.
