There was a very sweet expression on Lulu's face as she rejoined her mates, and her manner was gentle and subdued. "So you've come back," remarked Sydney. "What did your papa want with you?" "O Syd," exclaimed Rosie, "that's private, you know!" "Oh to be sure! I beg pardon, Lu," said Sydney. "You are quite excusable," returned Lulu pleasantly.
"I'm awfully sorry, Syd," began Rex, as soon as the three were left alone and had stepped into the elevator. "I never felt so disgraced in my life." "You did nothing wrong," replied Syd, pressing his hand against his forehead for an instant as if it pained him. "But what are you doing in town?"
The doctor was utterly nonplused. He prescribed a quieting potion, and went away, promising to return again in the morning. "And perhaps you had better humor him in his desire to be left alone," he said to Mrs. Pell. "But of course arrange to be near in case another collapse occurs." The household separated for bed that night with sober faces. "Syd hasn't been like himself since Mr.
"That is a crazy notion of his, wanting to go in to town just because he can't wait till Syd comes out," remarked Roy when he heard of it. At the same time he felt a sensation of relief to think that his impulsive brother was out of Marley and away from the temptation to disquiet the family by telling his fellow townsmen what he meant to do with their money when they came into it.
It's some business matter, quite important, and we may both be late for tea. Don't wait. Do you understand?" "Yes, all right. We'll go to meet Syd now. Shall we send the doctor, too?" Roy thought a minute. "Yes. I think you'd better," he called down. "I told them to send the doctor to your house," he reported to Mr. Tyler. He half expected the latter to raise a protest, but he didn't.
"Hope it is," coolly returned Tom. "What put it into your head?" demanded Fanny, twirling round again so that her face was hidden. "Oh, well, I keep meeting Syd and Polly circulating in the same directions; she looks as if she had found something uncommonly nice, and he looks as if all creation was getting Pollyfied pretty rapidly. Wonder you have n't observed it." "I have."
Often, in the middle of the night, he would be awakened by the wail of a child, and with eyes still half closed, and his mind only half awake, would make his way to it, give it a drink, and sometimes fall asleep with the poor little thing nestled up against him. To them he was no longer "Mr. Green," but "Syd," or "Dear Syddie," and they fought for a word and schemed for a smile from him.
Rex said nothing, but when Sydney's door closed behind him, he drew Roy into his room with him. "You must stay with me to-night, Roy, "he said, and he began taking off his coat. "Why didn't you speak to Syd before we came in, Reggie?" "I couldn't, Roy. I feel awfully sorry for him. But he's committed a crime, and I can't help but think all the while of Mr. Keeler's brother."
"You see, I can't help talking of Syd, I'm so fond of her; and I do miss her so dreadfully every now and then; and I'm afraid oh, dear, dear, I'm afraid I shall never see her again!" She let her rod drop on the pier, and put her little hands over her face and burst out crying. Shocked and distressed, good Mr. Sarrazin kissed her, and consoled her, and told another excusable lie.
Miles stared at Rex as though he did not comprehend the meaning of the word. "A fortune?" he repeated. "What fortune?" "Why, your fortune, to be sure," returned Rex. "But I don't understand," went on Miles. "How can I have a fortune?" "Easy enough, since your father has one. Syd knows all about it. You're a lucky fellow, Miles. It's somewhere about half a million."
