"Colonel Barrington does not deem it convenient that you should settle at Silverdale, and would be prepared to offer you a reasonable sum to relinquish your claim." "My claim?" said Winston, who remembered having heard of the Silverdale Colony which lay several hundred miles away. "Of course," said the lawyer. "The legacy lately left you by Roger Courthorne.
I have been showing him Silverdale." "And where is he? It seems to me I invited him to stay all night, and Joshua tells me he extended the invitation." "We were in the little summer-house, and suddenly he discovered that it was late and he had to catch the seven o'clock train," faltered Honora, somewhat disconnectedly.
The door of the bedroom opened, and Mrs. Holt's elderly maid appeared. The same maid, by the way, who had closed the shutters that memorable stormy night at Silverdale. She had, it seemed, a trick of appearing at crises. "Martha, telephone to Mrs.
A life at Silverdale would not suit me, and you know by this time that it would be difficult to sell the place, while I don't know where I could find a tenant who would farm it better than you. That being so, it wouldn't be good policy to bleed you too severely. Still, I want a thousand dollars in the meanwhile. It's mine, you see." Winston sat still a minute.
As a proof of his versatility, if not of his good faith, he talked of neutral matters on the way back to the house, with the charming ease and lightness that was the gift of his race and class. On the borders of the wood they encountered the Robert Holts, walking with their children. "Madame," said the Vicomte to Gwendolen, "your Silverdale is enchanting.
"I suppose I'll have to forgive you, my dear, especially with that colour. I am modern enough to approve of exercise for young girls, and I am sure your Aunt Mary will think Silverdale has done you good when I send you back to her." "Oh, I'm sure she will," said Honora. In the meantime Mr. Spence was concentrating all of his attention upon a jellied egg. Honora glanced at the Vicomte.
"I would," he said, "as soon turn gambler. Still, while it has always been a tradition at Silverdale that the head of the settlement's lead is to be followed, that need not prevent you putting on the gloves with the wheat-ring blacklegs in Winnipeg."
"I have often heard mother tell about it, and how every one on the ship noticed you, and how Hortense cried when your aunt and uncle took you away. And to think we have been rooming together all these months and did not know that we were really old friends. "And Honora, mother says you must come to Silverdale to pay us a visit when school closes. She wants to see you.

"I thought you couldn't stand Silverdale much longer," she replied. "You know why I stayed," he said, and paused again rather awkwardly for Mr. Spence. But Honora was silent. "I had a letter this morning from my partner, Sidney Dallam, calling me back." "I suppose you are very busy," said Honora, detaching a copper-green scale of moss from the boulder.
