I was on the point of saying some nice words, like "Uncle Geoff, I do want to be good," or something of that sort, which perhaps would have helped to make him find out that Mrs. Partridge was really not managing us as he wished, when suddenly I felt the paper Pierson's letter I mean rustle a little under the pressure of his hand. I felt my face grow red.
The narrow face, clean-shaven now, with its deep-set eyes and compressed lips, looked more priestly than ever, in spite of this brown garb. He felt his hope suddenly to be very forlorn indeed. And rushing at the fence, he began abruptly: "I've come to ask you, sir, for your permission to marry Noel, if she will have me." He had thought Pierson's face gentle; it was not gentle now.
Meanwhile she tormented them both a good deal by the artistic acquaintance she gathered about her. Mrs. Pierson's world, as we have said, contained a good many dubious odds and ends, and she had handed them all over to Rose. The Leyburns' growing intimacy with Mr.
I'll write a letter myself, and I know they'll believe me, and I'll get Pierson to write a letter too." "But Pierson's away," said Tom. "Well, I can write to her too." This seemed to strike Tom as a good idea. "How lucky it is you've got your desk and paper, and embelopes and everything all ready," he said. "You can write without anybody knowing.
Except for putting in his head to say good morning, he had not yet seen his son-in-law: The young doctor could not look fragile, the build of his face, with that law and those heavy cheekbones was too much against it, but there was about him enough of the look of having come through a hard fight to give Pierson's heart a squeeze. "Well, George," he said, "you gave us a dreadful fright!
While absorbed in these reflections I was slowly approaching Madame Pierson's. I found the gate open, and as I entered the garden I saw a light in the kitchen. I thought of questioning the servant, I stepped to the window. A feeling of horror rooted me to the spot. The servant was an old woman, thin and wrinkled and bent, a common deformity in people who have worked in the fields.
I thought of all this in a half-stupid way, while I sat in the railway-carriage with my arm round Tom's neck and my head leaning on Pierson's shoulder. We had never cared very much about Pierson, but now that she was the only thing left to us, we began to cling to her very much.
I felt anxious and fidgety, even though I was so pleased about having found Miss Goldy-hair; and I thought Tom didn't seem to care enough. "How stupid you are, Tom," I said. "You knew I had written to Pierson to tell her I was going to take you and Racey to her." "I didn't know it until I heard you tell her," said Tom. "I don't think we could go to Pierson's, Audrey. We might get lost again."
She then understood him to be a converted Jew, and in the conclusion she says she 'felt as if God had sent him to set up the kingdom. Thus Matthias at once secured the good will of Isabella, and we may supposed obtained from her some information in relation to Mr. Pierson, especially that Mrs. Pierson declared there was no true church, and approved of Mr. Pierson's preaching.
Some of the fanatical among the religious students believed and said that he had sold himself to the devil. He would have been expelled summarily but for Pierson Pierson's father was one of the two large contributors to the support of the college, and it was expected that he would will it a generous endowment. To entrap Scarborough was to entrap Pierson.
