He got a bicycle almost the first thing, and now he's tired of it and wants a horse, and Jess says there's no good of getting that because we ought to go to Europe and take Syd with us."
"Good-night," answered the other. Then, sorrowfully, "I do wish you were going to play, Neil." "Thanks, Syd; but don't let that keep you awake. Good-night!" The room-mates chatted in a desultory way for half an hour longer and then prepared for bed.
"Don't you think it would be a good thing?" asked Fanny, after playing a bar or two, very badly. "Yes, for Syd." "Not for Polly? Why, he 's rich, and clever, and better than most of you good-for-nothing fellows. What can the girl expect?" "Can't say, but I don't fancy the match myself." "Don't be a dog in the manger, Tom. Bless your little heart, I only take a brotherly sort of interest in Polly.
As he rose to go, there was a soft knock at the door. A little girl, in a shabby frock, ventured to show herself in the room. "What do you want here?" her mother asked sharply. Syd held out a small thin hand, with a letter in it, which represented her only excuse. Mrs. Westerfield read the letter, and crumpled it up in her pocket. "One of your secrets?" James asked.
You want that sense altogether; therefore I am no more annoyed when I think of the expression, than I should be annoyed by a man's opinion of a picture of mine, who had no eye for pictures: or of a piece of music of mine, who had no ear for music." Sydney Carton drank the punch at a great rate; drank it by bumpers, looking at his friend. "Now you know all about it, Syd," said Mr. Stryver.
If ever a team needs cheering and encouragement it's when things are blackest, and not when it's winning." "And so, you see, you'll have to go to the field, Syd," said Neil as he followed the other out to the porch. "By Jove, what a night, eh? I never saw so many stars, I believe. Well, we'll have a good clear day for the game and a good turf underfoot. Good-night, Syd."
I'm worried about Syd. There is something mighty queer about him." "Oh, he's much better to-night," Roy responded encouragingly. "Yes, I know; but it's his actions all through this thing that I'm worried about. Do you know that I sometimes think, Roy " here Rex sat up on the bed and lowered his voice impressively "I sometimes think that perhaps there was a touch of insanity in Syd's family.
"Come in, boys," Eva called as they passed the door. Roy and Rex obeyed the summons, leaving Sydney to go up to Mrs. Pell in the library. They found Mr. Keeler to be the caller. Rex started when he saw who it was. "Why, where is Miles?" asked Jess. "He stayed with his father," replied Rex. "His father!" echoed both girls. "Why, has he found him?" "Yes," answered Roy, "Syd found him.
"How are the lessons getting on?" she began and checked herself with a start, "Kitty!" she exclaimed, "Crying?" The child ran to her mother with tears in her eyes. "Look at Syd! She sulks; she cries; she won't talk to me send for the doctor." "You tiresome child, I don't want the doctor. I'm not ill." "There, mamma!" cried Kitty. "She never scolded me before to-day."
"I hope she hasn't married a beast," Kitty said, with a serious face and an ominous shake of the head. "When shall I hear from Syd?" Mr. Sarrazin tried another prevarication with better results this time. "You will be the first person she writes to, of course." As that excusable lie passed his lips, his float began to tremble. Here was a chance of changing the subject "I've got a fish!" he cried.
