And when she cried, the sentimental Westcott comforted her by rattling his keys in an affectionate way, and reminding her that the course of true love never did run smooth, "by George! he! he! he!" Plausaby, Esq., felt a fatherly interest. He said so. He wanted Albert to make his way in the world. "You have great gifts, Albert," he said. But the smoother Mr. Plausaby talked, the rougher Mr.
He easily secured money to defray the expense of the journey from Plausaby, who held some funds belonging to his wife's estate, and who yielded to a very gentle pressure from Lurton, knowing how entirely he was in Lurton's power. It is proper to say here that Albert's scrupulous conscience was never troubled about the settlement of his mother's estate.
And she went to the glass and fixed her ribbons, and reflected that if Plausaby kept a store she could get plenty of them. And so all that Cousin Isa and Brother Albert said came to naught, except that it drove the pitiful Katy into a greater devotion to her lover, and made the tender-hearted Katy cry.
And now that Lurton had found that Charlton had no first right to Isabel, his worst fear had departed. Even in his palpitating excitement about Isa, he was the true minister, and gave his first thought to the spiritual wants of the afflicted woman whom he regarded as providentially thrown upon his care. He was so fortunate as to find Plausaby absent at Perritaut.
The Wanosia and Dakota Crossing Road makes a junction there, and his claim and yourn has doubled in valoo two or three times." "But I suppose mine has been sold under mortgage?" "Under mortgage? Not much. Some of your friends jest sejested to Plausaby he'd better pay two debts of yourn. And he did. He paid Westcott fer the land-warrant, and he paid Minorkey's mortgage.
Plausaby said that she hoped Isabel would beat some sense into the boy, for she was really afraid that he never would have anything but notions. She pitied the woman that married him. She wouldn't get many silk-dresses, and she'd have to fix her old bonnets over two or three years hand-running. Mr. Plausaby was one of those men who speak upon a level pitch, in a gentle and winsome monotony.
He stepped out of the door of the sick-chamber, and there, right before him, was Plausaby, his smooth face making a vain endeavor to keep its hold upon itself. But Lurton saw at once that Plausaby had heard the prayer in which he had framed Mrs. Plausaby's confession to Isa into a solemn and specific confession to God.
To contend with a stubborn will is a simple problem of force against force. But to contend with a weak and vacillating will is fighting the air. Mrs. Plausaby said she had something to say to Mr. Lurton. But dear me she was so annoyed! The room was not fit for a stranger to see. She must look like a ghost. There was something that worried her.
More than that, indeed. Twenty-five, perhaps. Some people were men at sixteen. And some were always men. They were, indeed. Always men. Always. Albert was a man in intellect. Quite a man. The spirit of the law was the thing to be looked at. The spirit, not the letter. Not the letter at all. The spirit of the law warranted Albert in pre-empting. Here Plausaby, Esq., stopped a minute.
"Certainly I have no objection to receive advice, Miss Marlay; but have you joined the other side?" "I don't know what you mean by the other side, Mr. Charlton. I don't belong to any side. I think all quarreling is unpleasant, and I hate it. I don't think anything you say makes any change in Uncle Plausaby, while it does make your mother unhappy."
