A few very cold gray days followed, and then the north wind cleared the sky; and, though it was still cold, it was pleasant. The sky had only a small white cloud here and there to make its blueness the more profound. Ridgeley dashed up to the door with a hardy little pair of broncos hitched to a light pair of bobs, and Mrs. Field was tucked in like a babe in a cradle.
"BARTON RIDGELEY, ESQ.: "My Dear Sir, I was disappointed at not finding you at Wilder's, where your noble exertions had placed my daughter. I was more disappointed on calling at your mother's the following morning, hoping to carry you to my house. If anything in my conduct in the past contributed to these disappointments, I regret it."
He had endured so much obloquy, suffered so keenly and so long, that almost any retaliatory measure would have been pardonable." Herbert Dorrance's widow was, as had been said, on a farewell visit to her native State, and after spending a week at Ridgeley was concluding a pleasanter sojourn of the same length at William Sutton's.
He kept talking, talking, and it was difficult for her preoccupied mind to find the right answer in the right place. He was talking about the celebrity who was to give the "Lyceum Course" lecture that evening. The lecturer's name was Dobson. Oh uninspiring name! Ridgeley Holman Dobson. He was a celebrity because he'd done something-or-other heroic in the Spanish war.
My principal regret, in the review of the unfortunate entanglement, is that he ever visited Ridgeley and was known in the vicinity as your suitor. You will suffer from this, in the future, more than you can now suppose. A woman hardly ever outlives such a stigma.
Ridgeley did not come, and when they went back to the house, they found that he had been called to New York on an urgent case. He would not return until the following Friday. Anne and Christopher were thus left together for a week to get acquainted. With only old Jeanette Ware to play propriety. It did not take Christopher long to decide that Ridgeley was no longer in love with his wife.
Raymond was the handsomest and most popular boy in her "crowd," and she used to be secretly pleased when he openly admired her more than he did the other girls indeed, there had been certain almost sentimental passages between Raymond and Missy. Of course all that happened before her horizon had "broadened" before she encountered a truly distinguished person like Ridgeley Holman Dobson.
At the Whig nominating convention, for the county of Geanga, that Fall, Major Ridgeley, who had, by a vote of the officers of his regiment, become its Colonel, was a candidate for the office of sheriff. He was popular, well-known, and his prospects fair. The office was attractive, its emoluments good, and it was generally sought after by the best class of ambitious men in the counties.
The good lady was not to be harshly censured if she now and then, in private confabulation with her favorite, let fall a remark which was the reverse of complimentary to her niece-in-law. Mabel's marriage was the signal for a radical reorganization of the Ridgeley domestic establishment, by which Mrs.
At last, when the big pans of toast, the big plates of beef, were placed steaming on the table, the cook called Field and Ridgeley, and said: "Set right here at the end." He raised his arm to a ring which dangled on a wire. "Now look out; you'll see 'em come sidewise." He jerked the ring, and disappeared into the kitchen.
