Aylett was never talkative, and his unvarying, soulless politeness to all produced the conserving effect upon chill and low spirits that the atmosphere of a refrigerator does upon whatever is placed within it. Mrs. Sutton's motherly heart was yearning pityingly over the lovers who were soon to be sundered, while Mabel's essay at cheerful equanimity imposed upon nobody's credulity.
Had he been in Coniston, he would have said, "How be you?" Cynthia took the hand, but did not rise, somewhat to Mr. Sutton's annoyance. A certain respect was due to a member of Congress and the Rajah of Clovelly. "How do you do, Mr. Sutton?" said Cynthia, very coolly. "I like her," remarked Mrs. Duncan to Mr. Worthington. "This is a splendid trip for you, eh, Cynthia?" Mr.
The great physical exertion entailed in running continually to the net will after a time make the ground strokes weaker and weaker; and you must have good length to be able to come up and volley with any success. She had carefully watched Miss Sutton's game and thought out the best way to play her.
Sutton's talents as a raconteur, nor her disposition to turn hearts inside out for the edification of her auditors." "Does she Miss Dorrance look like anybody I know?" asked Mabel, hesitating to declare herself dissatisfied with the skeleton love-tale, yet uncertain how to learn more.
Sutton's dying. I shall give it to her when he's dead." "You think that'll make up?" "No, Colin, I don't. Supposing we don't talk about it any more." "All right. I say, when's Maisie coming home?" "God only knows. I don't." He wondered how much Colin knew. iii February had gone. They were in the middle of March, and still Maisie had not come back.
Here was to be a congressional convention that autumn, and a large part of Mr. Sutton's district lay in the North Country, which, as we have seen, was loyal to Jethro to the back bone. The district, too, was largely rural, and therefore anti-consolidation, and the inability of the Worthington forces to get their bill through had made it apparent that Jethro Bass was as powerful as ever.
Sutton's return with the physician, she perceived that her niece had not awaited her coming in sentimental idleness. A thick woollen coverlet was wrapped about the prostrate figure, and Mabel, upon her knees on the dusty hearth, was applying the candle to a heap of waste paper and bits of board she had ferreted out in closets and cuddy-holes.
Sutton had swung hard he had swung from his heels and he was still following that blow through when Denny snapped forward again. It wasn't a long swing, but it was wickedly quick. From the waist it started, a short, vicious jolt that carried all the boy's weight behind it, and the instant that Denny whipped it over Sutton's chin seemed to come out to meet it seemed almost to lift to receive it.
But for my part, I had rather be loved in spite of my known faults, than receive wilfully ignorant worship." The daring stroke at Mrs. Sutton's hypothesis of the inseparable union between esteem and affection, excited her into an impolitic admission. "My child, you make my blood run cold! You do not mean that you could love a man for whose character you had no respect!"
That night I proposed to make a sort of trial-trip up stream, as far as Township landing, some fifteen miles, there to pay our respects to Captain Clark's company of cavalry, whose camp was reported to lie near by. This was included in Corporal Sutton's programme, and seemed to me more inviting, and far more useful to the men, than any amount of mere foraging.
