Smythe was quick to observe, over Marion's shoulder, that the room was a sort of library and bedroom combined, carpeted in dark red, the walls papered in red also, and the windows curtained with heavy tapestry silk of the same rich hue.
All the prisoners were marched to New Ark, where Scott came near having an encounter with two Indian chiefs. On the 13th of October, 1812, the Americans lost, in killed, wounded and prisoners, about eleven hundred men. General Van Rensselaer left the service in disgust and was succeeded by Alexander Smythe of Virginia, who accomplished nothing of importance during the remainder of the season.
Two days after I had talked in this well-meaning sort of way, the whole trouble began. The first thing I heard was that both of them had gone off to seek their fortunes, as if they were in some silly fairy tale. "Well, I've never seen either of them from that day to this. But I've had two letters from the little man called Smythe, and really they were rather exciting."
That was our car, you see. We moved into it, straight off, the family and all. But I asked the English gentleman to remain, and he did. A pleasant man, an infantry colonel; and doesn't know, yet, that Smythe robbed him of his berth, but thinks it was done by Smythe's servant without Smythe's knowledge. He was assisted in gathering this impression.
"No, my dear," she said slowly, "I think it will be impossible, because you are going home this afternoon." When Captain W. de S. Smythe went to look over " House," in the neighbourhood of Blythswood Square, Glasgow, the only thing about the house he did not like was the bathroom it struck him as excessively grim.
Smythe obeyed, and jumped into the tonneau, while Robert cranked up and threw in the clutch. "Fast!" cried Marion. Hillyer glanced at her. She was very white; her lips were pressed together, her eyes were fixed on the road ahead. The machine lurched under them. "Faster!" urged Marion, in another minute.
Smythe had told her, and Murray had confirmed his description, that Thunder Mountain was not formidable as far as the foot of the final scarp. Seth had taught her something of the lore of trails, and she was confident that she would be able to find her way even if the underfoot marks should fail.
There is no doubt that this custom of giving our houses names is the source of much unnecessary labour and irritation to other people postmen, tradesmen, debt collectors, and errand boys. Mr. Smythe formerly Smith of 236, Belinda Avenue, is easily discoverable, but what are you to do about Mr. Smythe, of Chatsworth House, Belinda Avenue, on a dark night? How are you to find him?
She came here while you were staying with Miss Smythe last month." "Yes; she sat at that table, and wrote the letters," Rose said, nodding towards the little side table in the corner. "She had a brown dress on, I remember. Tom, am I expected to say that I thought her very pretty? I hardly looked at her." "Well, you will see her on Saturday," Tom said.
De Smythe stated that the next time he allowed the young people to turn his maison topsy-turvy he would see them in enfer. He wished to know if they were aware that some ass of the evening before had broken a pane of coloured glass in the hall that would cost him four dollars. Did they think he was made of argent. If so, they never made a bigger mistake in their vie.
