"I am thoughtless," and Shirley's warm hand grasped the flaccid fingers of the young man. "Forgive me for letting my interest run away with my sympathies. I'm thinking of the future, more than mere protection from newspaper scandal. This crime is so ingenious that I believe it has a more powerful motive than mere robbery. You are now at the head of a great house of finance and society.
Something will be smashed, sure. Let the boss attend to it." Everybody else stood back, but Bet grabbed the package. "Well, since when are you boss of Shirley's Shop?" laughed the Colonel. "You forget, you're only boss of Merriweather Manor." Shirley laughed and undid the strong cord and covering of the box, which was filled with excelsior. "I don't believe there's a thing in it," said Bet.
So we'll keep all the human beings together," Asher said, as he helped his wife to fasten her heavy cloak and tie a long old-fashioned nubia about her head. Then they went out into the darkness and the chilling rain, as neighbor to neighbor, answering this cry for help. Pilot ran far ahead of them and was waiting with a dog's welcome when they reached Shirley's cabin.
She had done all sorts of odd jobs in order to earn her longed-for cameras, and had studied them well. Sometimes when the girls talked of the future when they would go to college, Shirley's face became clouded, for her father's poor health made it impossible for him to be steadily employed. Shirley's chances of college seemed very slim.
Not the slightest sentiment entered into Shirley's thoughts of Jefferson. She regarded him only as a good comrade with whom she had secrets she confided in no one else. To that extent and to that extent alone he was privileged above other men. Suddenly he asked her: "Have you heard from home recently?" A soft light stole into the girl's face. Home!
Unless support comes from some unexpected quarter we must be prepared for anything." Support from some unexpected quarter! Stott's closing words rang in Shirley's head. Was that not just what she had to offer? Unable to restrain herself longer and her heart beating tumultuously from suppressed emotion, she cried: "We'll have that support! We'll have it! I've got it already!
"Girls," he said, "I'm going to send a telegram after dinner to-night to Aunt Trudy Wright. Mother wants her to come and stay with you while she is away; I don't think she can begin to mend until she knows that she has provided for you." "Oh, Hugh!" Rosemary mashing potato for Shirley's hungry consumption, looked distressed. "I can keep house, I know I can. We don't need Aunt Trudy."
That's what has happened. And you're going to pack up and pack off to win him back, for his sake if not your own. That's what is going to happen." "Win him back!" Shirley's world was fast sinking from under her feet. "Is is that what Mrs. Jim has been hinting in her letters? Do you mean you think David has stopped loving me?" "You think it incredible?" "But he's my husband."
"Where did you find that tree?" he repeated innocently. "Rondeau, my woods-boss, knew I was on the lookout for something special something nobody else could get; so he kept his eyes open." "Indeed!" There was just a trace of irony in Bryce's tones as he drew Shirley's chair and held it for her.
There she had listened to Henrietta's schemes for Dr Shirley's leaving Uppercross; farther on, she had first seen Mr Elliot; a moment seemed all that could now be given to any one but Louisa, or those who were wrapt up in her welfare.
