It looked so pretty that way." Almost fainting Elnora stood before the glass, divided off the front parts of her hair, and rolled them as Mrs. Sinton had done; tied it at the nape of her neck, then sat while her mother arranged the ribbon. "If I pull it down till it comes tight in these creases where she had it, it will be just right, won't it?" queried Mrs.
"And you'll take care of Jimmy and Belle, too?" "I can't adopt all three of you," said Sinton. "I'll take you, and see that they are well provided for. Will you come?" "Yep, I'll come," said Billy. "Let's eat, first thing we do." "All right," agreed Sinton. "Come into this restaurant."
"Now, thin, who's nixt?" cried he, holding out both arms, and looking excited, as if he were ready to carry off any individual bodily in his arms to any place, for mere love, without reference to money. "Don't all spake at wance. Tshoo dollars a mile for anythin' onder a ton, an' yerself on the top of it for four! Horoo, Mister Sinton, darlint, is it yerself?
"So they are, the blackguards; an' that without biddin' us good mornin', bad luck to them," added O'Neil. At first, Ned Sinton felt little disposed to take a comic view of the affair, and urged the captain strongly to take the lightest boat and set off in pursuit; but the latter objected to this.
You have spoken kindly to me a beggar. You deserve the name of friend. Listen, I want you to be my heir. See here, I have had my will drawn up long ago, with the place for the name left blank I had intended but no matter what is your name?" "Edward Sinton." "Here, hand me that ink-horn, and the pen.
Ned tapped as of yore. "Come in," cried a stern voice as of ditto. "Ah!" exclaimed Moxton, "you're young Sinton, I suppose?" Ned almost started at the perfect reproduction of events, and questions, and answers. He felt a species of reckless incredulity in reference to everything steal over him, as he replied "Yes; I came, at my uncle's request, for some papers that "
Meanwhile, Edward Sinton put on his great-coat the identical one he used to wear before he went away and his hat and his gloves, and walked out into the crowded streets of London, with feelings somewhat akin, probably, to those of a somnambulist.
"When I think what I owe her " began Elnora. "Well, thank goodness, I don't owe her anything, and so I'm perfectly free to do what I choose. Come on, and help me get supper. I'm hungry as Billy!" Margaret Sinton rocked slowly back and forth in her chair. On her breast lay Billy's red head, one hand clutched her dress front with spasmodic grip, even after he was unconscious.
But the inestimable advantage of good early training told at this time on Ned Sinton. It is questionable whether his principles were strong enough to have carried him through the temptation, but Ned had been trained to reverence the Lord's-day from his earliest years, and he looked upon working on the Sabbath with a feeling of dread which he could not have easily shaken off, even had he tried.
"I ain't afraid of that dog," scoffed Billy, as he was again placed on the walk, "but onc't he took me for a rat or somepin' and his teeth cut into my back. If I'd a done right, I'd a took the law on him." Sinton looked down into the indignant little face. The child was bright enough, he had a good head, but oh, such a body! "I 'bout got enough of dogs," said Billy.
