"I suppose the doctor comes?" "Every morning. He makes special terms for such a quantity, and Mr. Timothy's so used, he doesn't take a bit of notice, except to put out his tongue." "Well," said Soames, turning away, "it's rather sad and painful to me." "Oh! sir," returned Smither anxiously, "you mustn't think that. Now that he can't worry about things, he quite enjoys his life, really he does.
The sale not at Jobson's, in view of the Victorian nature of the effects was far more freely attended than the funeral, though not by Cook and Smither, for Soames had taken it on himself to give them their heart's desires. Winifred was present, Euphemia, and Francie, and Eustace had come in his car.
One could not confess to sentiment before another, and Soames felt that he was going to be sentimental nosing round those rooms so saturated with the past. When Smither, creaking with excitement, had left him, Soames entered the dining-room and sniffed. In his opinion it wasn't mice, but incipient wood-rot, and he examined the panelling.
"Take care of him, Cook, he is old." And, shaking her crumpled hand, he went down-stairs. Smither was still taking the air in the doorway. "What do you think of him, Mr. Soames?" "H'm!" Soames murmured: "He's lost touch." "Yes," said Smither, "I was afraid you'd think that coming fresh out of the world to see him like." "Smither," said Soames, "we're all indebted to you." "Oh, no, Mr.

Such was her surprise at being thus addressed that she put down her fork; and Smither, who was passing, promptly removed her plate.

Which of them was Timothy's? And he listened. A sound, as of a child slowly dragging a hobby-horse about, came to his ears. That must be Timothy! He tapped, and a door was opened by Smither, very red in the face. Mr.

How many times had she not said: "Drat the thing! There it is again! Smither, you'd better run up and see what you can do." And in her heart she would so have enjoyed the tunes, if she hadn't known that Mr.
Smither was getting garrulous! "I just want to look round and see if there's anything to be done." "Yes, sir. I don't think there's anything except a smell of mice in the dining-room that we don't know how to get rid of.
