Renton strode to the door, and went into the street, homeward. He walked fast through the magical moonlight, with a strange feeling of sternness, and tenderness, and weariness, in his mind. In this mood, the sensation of spiritual and physical fatigue gaining on him, but a quiet moonlight in all his reveries, he reached his house.
Renton," she began, faintly gathering her voice as she proceeded, "I have come to see you about the rent. I am very sorry, sir, to have made you wait, but we have been unfortunate." "Sorry, ma'am," he replied, knowing what was coming; "but your misfortunes are not my affair. We all have misfortunes, ma'am. But we must pay our debts, you know."
Renton thought to himself, Hoh! blazoning her poverty, manufacturing sympathy already, the old trick; and steeled himself against any attacks of that kind, looking jealously, meanwhile, at Netty. "Well, Mrs. Miller," he said, "what is it this evening? I suppose you've brought me my rent." The little woman grew paler, and her voice seemed to fail on her quivering lips.
He proposed, however, instead of a license, an outright purchase of Bessemer's patents for £50,000. Bessemer refused to sell, and according to his account Bessemer, op. cit. From him we learn that Martien's experiments leading to his patent of September 15, 1855, had been carried out at the Ebbw Vale Works in South Wales, where he engaged in "perfecting the Renton process."
I was very sorry to leave Captain Renton, but said I was ready to do whatever she and Mr Dear thought best. The next evening, when Mr Dear returned, he said that he could not ascertain from Dick Driver the name of the island from which I had been taken away.
"To be sure I am the doctor I don't know about great who stayed the night Doctor Renton, of the Gables, Dale-by-Lyndon." "Yes, sir, I know. I have heard tell of your beautiful garden." "Indeed? Well, look here, my man. Your mistress interested me in your case, and I thought I would ride over some evening and see you.
The Renton team had now risen to the acme of their fame, and no player helped them more to attain that position than Mr. J. M'Call.
Joel Renton had made money, by good luck chiefly, having held land here and there which he had got for nothing, and had then almost forgotten about it, and, when reminded of it, still held on to it with that defiant stubbornness which often possesses improvident and careless natures.
Breckon hasn't much advantage of Ellen in what Lottie calls closeness!" "Ellen has always been very reserved. It would have been better for her if she hadn't. Oh, I scarcely dare to hope anything! Rufus, I feel that in everything of this kind we are very ignorant and inexperienced." "Inexperienced!" Renton retorted. "I don't want any more experience of the kind Ellen has given us."
I used to make the stories up, and they liked that also. When I added some swear words they liked them all the better. I learned how to do it." "Yes, I've heard of you, but not as Tarboe." "You heard of me as Renton, eh?" "Yes, as Renton. I wonder I never came across you till to-day." "I kept out of your way; that was the reason. When you came north, I got farther into the backwoods."
