Sherrett, I hope you feel sure," she said, "that I wouldn't have been engaged to Rodney while there was a promise?" "Not more than you could possibly help," said Mr. Sherrett, smiling. "Not the very least little bit!" said Sylvie, emphatically; and then they all three laughed together.
Argenter's signature for heavy security; there were memoranda of good safe stocks that had stood in his name a little while ago, and no certificates; there had been sales and sacrifices; going in deeper and to more certain loss, because of risk and danger already run. Mr. Sherrett, senior, came home to dinner one day with news from the street.
To a branch of glossy green, luxuriant ivy was tied a card, "RODNEY SHERRETT, With friendly compliments." Sylvie really sung at her work to-day, placing and replacing till she had grouped the whole in her wire frames in the bay window so as to show every leaf and spray in light and line aright. "Why, it is prettier than it ever was at the old place; isn't it Sabina?
Sherrett looked at her with one upon his own face that had as much pitiful tenderness in it as could have shown through tears. "You see we shall have to do something right off, go somewhere; and mother can't change the least thing.
The village boys were crowding round, all those who had not been in time to run after the "smash," and Sylvie gladly withdrew to the offered shelter. Rod Sherrett gave his hair a toss or two with his hands, struck the dust off his wide-awake, put it on, and walked off down the hill, through the staring and admiring crowd.
Rod Sherrett looked very much as if he thought he had "ground" for nothing. Then they talked about Lebanon, and the new Vermont Springs; perhaps Mrs. Argenter would go to some of them in July.
The young people were both too really interested, from their intimate knowledge of the first misfortune, to reply with any common "Is it possible?" to this. "The will, I am afraid, is only a magnificent 'might have been," said Mr. Sherrett. "There may be something secured; there ought to be. Mrs. Argenter had a small property, I believe.
Argenter, hearing the bell, and the movement of an arrival, and not being herself summoned in consequence, rung in her own room for the maid, and received for answer to her inquiry, "Miss Sherrett and young Mr.
It doesn't seem as if she ever had any common things to say or do. Don't you think it takes common things to get people really near to each other? It doesn't seem to me I could ever be intimate or very easy with Amy Sherrett." "You seemed to get on well enough with her brother, the other day." "Boys aren't half so bad. There isn't any such wax-work about boys.
Something, perhaps, that would change it all; that would make it seem strange and unsuitable for Rodney Sherrett ever to interpret that fair message into words. Something that would put social distance between them. Her mother, above all, must be cared for; and her mother's money was so nearly gone! Desire Ledwith was kind, but she must not live on anybody's kindness.
