He had been more insistent than usual he had commented upon her rosy cheeks and he had made a laughing reference to her wide eyes. And he had asked her, gruffly, why she didn't take up with some feller like himself a good provider, an' all, that'd doll her up the way she'd oughter be dolled up?
It is therefore an ill saying, when applied in the most rigorous extent, "Let every man maintain himself, and be his own provider: why should we help him?" The help however that we should afford to our fellow-men requires of us great discernment in its administration. The deceitfulness of appearances is endless.
"You must not contradict me." "I s'pose I ought to invite you to stay here," said Mrs. Barton, awkwardly; "but he's so shif-less, and such a poor provider, that I ain't got anything in the house fit for dinner." "Thank you," returned Ford, with an inward shudder. "I shall dine at the hotel; but I have a little business matter to speak of, Mrs. Barton, and I would wish to speak in private.
"It is eleven-thirty," said she. "Almost time for luncheon. Do you think me a 'good provider, Helena?" "Humph! Mr. Davidson was. While your stolen stores last in your stolen boat, I suppose we shall not be hungry." "Or thirsty?" She shrugged. "Or barren of cork-tips of the evening? Or devoid of guitar strings?" "I shall need none." "Ah, but you will!

But both were tolerably well known up and down the river, and I didn't hear that anybody went out of the way to show sympathy. In fact, when the story leaked out, which it did do next time The Provider was over, most people agreed with Edmund Masters that he'd done very clever. Christie was married to Ted at St.
He saw himself the laughing- stock of the town, the fool provider for another man's passion. He saw his adored child, now worse than motherless, growing up into open-eyed consciousness of his hereditary shame. He saw his wreck of a father- in-law glaring at him in senile indignation. What was to be done what could be done? Nothing simply nothing.
Away back somewhere in the line there must have existed what New Englanders term a "good provider," but that virtue had not descended from father to son. The original vast Desha estates decreased with every generation, seldom a descendant making even a spasmodic effort to replenish them. There was always a mortgage or sale in progress.
She looked as if she had been in the hands of a Universal Provider. Evidently the American had no intention of roughing it. His toilet requisites were a dream. From the dazzling completeness of the snug saloon we were taken aft to see two coops filled with fowls. "Say," said the American, "how's that for fresh meat?"
Alan Hawke was seated for an hour alone in his room, enjoying the cigars offered up by the "Universal Provider," who had yielded up so liberally. The strong brandy and soda had at last restored his shaken nerves, for he had played with his life staked upon the outcome! He then grimly counted up his winnings.
