Siddall," he interposed, "but I think you'd best let me finish." She started to protest, she tried to move toward the door. Her strength failed her, she sat down, waited, nervously clasping and unclasping the costly, jewel-embroidered bag. "He has explained to me, many times," continued Harding, "that he believes women do not understand the value of money and ought not to be trusted with it.
Her mother saw the point, and was instantly agitated. "Perhaps he's simply leading you on, intending to upset it all at the last minute." She gritted her teeth. "Oh, what a wretch!" Mildred was not heeding. "I must have General Siddall looked up carefully," she went on.
Presbury noted uneasily how cold and straight, how obviously repelled and repelling the girl was as she yielded her fingers to Siddall at the leave-taking. He and her mother covered the silence and ice with hot and voluble sycophantry. They might have spared themselves the exertion. To Siddall Mildred was at her most fascinating when she was thus "the lady and the queen."
Up to that time the rich and costly food had been sadly medium like the wines. But these turkeys were a genuine triumph. Even Mildred gave them a look of interest and admiration. In a voice that made General Siddall ecstatic Presbury cried: "GOD bless my soul! WHERE did you get those beauties, old man!" "Paris," said Siddall in a voice tremulous with pride and self-admiration.
"Do you think I laid myself open to that charge by marrying you?" said Presbury, made cheerful despite his savage indigestion by the opportunity for effective insult she had given him and he had promptly seized.

"I tell you that about my divorce is a lie," replied Siddall. "I can prove it," said Keith. "And I can prove that you knew it before you married your second wife." For the first time Siddall betrayed at the surface a hint of how hard he was hit. His skin grew bright yellow; wrinkles round his eyes and round the base of his nose sprang into sudden prominence.
But in the hard years she had been learning not only from Presbury and General Siddall, but from the cook and the housemaid, from every creditor, every tradesman, everyone whose attitude socially toward her had been modified by her changed fortunes and whose attitude had not been changed? Thus, she was now able to appreciate at least in some measure Stanley Baird's delicacy and tact.
Before speaking, Presbury waited until this maid had withdrawn to bring the roast and the vegetables. Then he said: "You are going, too, miss." This with the full infusion of insult into the "miss." Mildred was silent. "Bill Siddall is looking for a wife," proceeded Presbury. "And he has Heaven knows how many millions." "Do you think there's a chance for Milly?" cried Mrs.
A separate chair of Political Science was not created until 1910, when Jesse Siddall Reeves, Amherst, '91, came as the head of the new department. The Department of Music had its first beginning with the appointment of Calvin Brainerd Cady, Oberlin, '74, as instructor in 1880.
