In fact, there came a time when David remembered, with a sickening qualm, that in almost every item they had stepped little or far beyond the limits of their budget. They did it because the disappointment written on Shirley's pretty face when something on which she had set her heart seemed beyond their reach, was more than he could bear. But the old cat was still playing.
There was the faintest suspicion of a smile playing around the corners of the plutocrat's mouth as he picked up a book lying on his desk and replied: "Yes she wrote you, but I wanted to see you about this." Shirley's pulse throbbed faster, but she tried hard to appear unconcerned as she answered: "Oh, my book have you read it?"
Suddenly a revolver shot rang out from the window, and a bullet crashed into the wall behind Shirley's head. His hand, idly dropped into his overcoat pocket, intuitively closed around his automatic revolver. A dark silhouette was outlined against the gray luminosity cast up by the lights of Broadway, half a block from the window.
Sir Richard Huntlove, who longs to be among his own tenants and eat his own beef in the country; his lady, who loves the pleasures of the town, balls in the Strand, and masques; Device, the fantastic gallant, these are well-known figures in Shirley's plays. No other playwright of that day could have given us such exquisite poetry as we find in Captain Underwit.
He found the question of Miss Shirley's blame for the collusion as distasteful as the supposition of the collusion, but there was a fascination in the innocence before him, and he could not help playing with it. Sometimes Miss Andrews apparently knew that he was playing with her innocence, and sometimes she did not.
Old Oswego with its outwork was held by Shirley's regiment, chiefly invalids and raw recruits, to whom were now joined the garrison of Fort Ontario and a number of sailors, boatmen, and laborers. Montcalm lost no time. As soon as darkness set in he began a battery at the brink of the height on which stood the captured fort.
Jo stiffened visibly. "Thaine Aydelot, what's the reason for your actions Oh, I don't care. Go to Shirley's, by all means. Everybody to his likes," she cried angrily. "Well, that's my rathers for tonight, and I can't help it," Thaine answered hotly. "Of course you can't. Let's go home quick so you can get off early," Jo said in an angered tone. "I'll go as slowly as I can.
"You're sure you won't get tired this afternoon? You went home at noon every day last year, you know." "Yes, but I'm six now," Shirley reminded her sister. "Will we have home work in our room, Rosemary?" It was one of Shirley's ambitions to have "home work" to do, and she longed to take a book home at night as Rosemary and Sarah did.
Leigh Shirley's coming marked an epoch in the annals of the Grass River settlement, for her uncle often declared that he could remember only two events in the West before that time: the coming of Mrs. Aydelot and the grasshopper raid. With Leigh in his home, he almost forgot that he had ever been sad-hearted. This loving little child was such a constant source of interest and surprise.
"I am considerable enough," he says, "to have enemies and to be envied;" and he declares he has proof that Shirley told the Mohawks that he, Johnson, was an upstart of his creating, whom he had set up and could pull down. Again, he charges Shirley's agents with trying to "debauch the Indians from joining him;" while Shirley, on his side, retorts the same complaint against his accuser.
