Dick remained on the sloop with the Stanhopes, while Josiah Crabtree was placed in the company of his fellow-criminal, Arnold Baxter. With the party went the Canadian who was married, and his wife, leaving the other Canadian to look after the wreck until his partner should return with material with which the boat could be patched up.
He did not make love to her, nor sigh, nor look languishing, but he was amusing and familiar, yet respectful; and when he left Eleanor at her own door at one o'clock, which he did by the by with the assistance of the now jealous Slope, she thought that he was one of the most agreeable men and the Stanhopes decidedly the most agreeable family that she had ever met. Mr. Arabin The Rev.
"He must have hypnotized her," observed, Dick. "It's a shame! I wish old Crabtree was in Jericho!" "So do all of us!" laughed Grace, and then Sam took her off for a quiet chat, while Tom, monopolized Nellie. "Those Rover boys think a great deal of the Lanings and Stanhopes," observed Larry to Fred. "Well, it's all right they are awfully nice girls, every one of 'em!" "Back to Putnam Hall at last!
Miss Bold had never encouraged Eleanor's acquaintance with Mr Slope, and she had positively discouraged the friendship of the Stanhopes as far as her usual gentle mode of speaking had permitted. Eleanor had only laughed at her, however, when she said that she disapproved of married women who lived apart from their husbands, and suggested that Charlotte Stanhope never went to church.
"Oh, but wouldn't I just punch him good before I passed him over to a policeman." During those days the lads received several letters from home, and also three communications from the Stanhopes and the Lanings. "The Stanhopes have gone to Santa Barbara," announced Dick, after perusing an epistle from Dora. "And she says her mother is slightly better."
A delegation of students from Brill including William Philander Tubbs had also come up, and were quartered at the Cedarville Hotel. The wedding was to take place at the Cedarville Union Church, a quaint little stone edifice, covered with ivy, which the Stanhopes and the Lanings both attended and which the Rover boys had often visited while they were cadets at Putnam Hall.
Having migrated from the Stanhopes' at Chevening to a neighboring old house in Kent, he wrote, "What a comfort it is, after staying with people who are too clever, to find oneself with people who are all refreshingly stupid!"
As your future partner, I am opposed to your replacing these presses by your cursed cast-iron machinery, that wears out the type. You in Paris have been making such a to-do over that damned Englishman's invention a foreigner, an enemy of France who wants to help the ironfounders to a fortune. Oh! you wanted Stanhopes, did you?
"He couldn't get hold of it excepting on an order from those to whom it belongs." "And they'll never give him any such order," added Tom. "Do you suppose he was going to see the Stanhopes and the Lanings?" questioned the oldest Rover anxiously.
He was speaking to Larry before retiring, and from one thing to another the conversation drifted around to Mrs. Stanhope, the widow who lived near Putnam Hall, and her pretty daughter Dora. As old readers know Dick was tremendously interested in pretty Dora, and had done much to keep her from harm. "Before I came on, I heard that the Stanhopes had started on a trip for the lakes," said Larry.
