And one had only to look at Mary to see that here was no light woman. Nobody in his senses not even Grindle could think evil of that broad, transparent brow, of those straight, kind, merry eyes. No, this morning his hurt was a purely personal one. That it should just be Purdy who did him this wrong!
He had instructed Purdy to arrange for the hire of this vehicle, saddle-work being out of the question for him in the meantime.
On that occasion Purdy happened to be in plain clothes, and Zara pronounced him charming.
"It was in our interests that they acted," says Purdy, "and the least we can do is to defend them." "It was not in my interests, nor was it at my suggestion that the Coal and Iron Police were sent to Hazleton. You must remember that I deprecated that step."
Purdy took them into the sitting-room where a delicate-looking man sat in a wheel-chair, carving something from a piece of wood. Nance's quick eyes took in every detail of the bright, commonplace room; its gay, flowered carpet and chintz curtains, its "fruit pieces" in wide, gold frames, and its crocheted tidies presented a new ideal of elegance.
A man can make money sometimes that comes too dear." The next day, at the office, Purdy and Trueman have a long talk.

The Texan grinned and, forcing his horse through the crowd, reached the girl's side where he was joined a few moments later by the deputy.
"There is no one who is as familiar with the mining life as you are; I have thought the matter over carefully before broaching it to you. There is no way out of it, Harvey, you must take the case in hand. It is not the company's request. I make it personal. I want you to do your best to get these men off." "Mr. Purdy, I cannot comply with your request." "You refuse to oblige me?"
They were above arguing that outworn thesis. Dave turned to his son. "Anyway, Buzzer, if you ever get discouraged, remember we were all like that once, and cheer up. Remember your ancestry goes straight back to one of those, and still back of that " "To the single cell of protoplasm," said Purdy. "Beyond that," said Dave, "to star dust." "Yes, sir," said Wilbur. "Foolish in the head," said Minna.
Form Five A was announced; "Judith Benson, Josephine Burley, Sally May Forsythe, Joyce Hewson, Nancy Nairn, Frances Purdy" Judith's cheeks glowed as the list was read. Five A! How pleased Daddy would be, and how glad she was that she had stuck to the hated mathematics this summer! And to be in Nancy's form, what joy!
