Blinkhampton is not essential to me; and your hotel and so on won't flourish much if I leave my tumble-down cottages and pigsties just behind them. Will you put these papers together, Duplay?" The Major obeyed leisurely. Sloyd was licking his lips and looking acutely unhappy. "You're absolutely resolved, Harry?" "Absolutely, Mr Iver." "Well, I give it up. It's bad for me, and it's worse for you.
They beget a habit of self-reliance; they keep the interest and attention always cheerfully engaged, and reduce the teacher's disciplinary functions to a minimum. Of the various systems of manual training, so far as woodwork is concerned, the Swedish Sloyd system, if I may have an opinion on such matters, seems to me by far the best, psychologically considered.
"Oh, no, it isn't, or you wouldn't be hunting for ten thousand on the pavement of Berkeley Square." "I'll trust you," Sloyd declared. Harry nodded thanks, inwardly amused at the obvious effort which attended the concession. "If you don't come in, you'll not give it away?" Again Harry nodded.
Yet it must be in Harry; Iver was certain that Sloyd had known nothing of the plan of campaign or of the decisive figure on which his associate had pitched. "I'll give you forty," he said at last. "For the whole thing, lock, stock, and barrel forty." "We've got a good many plans, sir," suggested Sloyd, very anxious to establish pleasant relations.
"A very pretty neighborhood a few miles from Blentmouth rising place, Blentmouth. And it's a cheap house small, you see, and old-fashioned." "Not hot and cold?" she asked with apparent innocence. Sloyd smiled uncomfortably. "I could ascertain all that for you, madame." He waited for her to speak again, but she had turned thoughtful as she sat fingering the photograph.
It was with this knowledge that the managers introduced manual training into the Reformatory. It needed the greatest skill on the part of the managers to adopt the various Sloyd exercises to the requirements of the different defectives, but each year has given additional proof of their success, and its inclusion in the reformatory system was amply justified.
"We have singing lessons at school twice a week," Bernice said, presently, "but I like the every-day lessons better." "Do you? I like mathematics, and sloyd, and a hammer and nails and saw. Mama tells me I ought to be a carpenter." "But you don't look like one," Bernice smiled, critically; and then continued: "We began physical geography this term. It is so interesting.
"Among the minor seats of the nobility Blent is considered a very perfect example," she heard Sloyd say to the Major, who was unobtrusively but steadily urging him in the direction of the landau. She turned to bid him good-by, and he came up to her, hat in hand. "Thank you. I like the place," she said. "Do you do you think we shall make acquaintance with the people at Blent Hall?"
I don't ask you to accept that proposal without referring to Mr Iver. I merely say that is the proposal, and that we give Mr Iver three days to consider it. After that our offer is withdrawn." Sloyd was biting his nails aye, those nails that he got trimmed in Regent Street twice a week; critical transactions must bring grist to those skilled in manicure.
"I'm sure we should be very glad if you found them of any service." "You're very good, Mr Sloyd, but " "You may as well have a look at them," interrupted Harry. "There are one or two good ideas. You'll explain them, won't you, Sloyd?" Sloyd had already placed one in Iver's hand, who glanced at it, took another, compared them, and after a minute's pause held both out to the Major.
