Sophia solemnly assured her cousins that mamma never allowed Sydney's fish to come to table, at least in the house. If the children liked to get the cook to boil them for their dolls' feasts in the schoolroom, they might. "And then Miss Young is favoured with a share, I suppose?" said Margaret. "Have you made acquaintance with Miss Young yet?" inquired Mr Enderby. "Oh, yes!
George had done his best, of course, and now he's out of Congress, and won't run again so there's Sydney's idea of a big diplomatic position gone for good. Well, Sydney and your Aunt Amelia are terribly disappointed, and they say they've been thinking for years that this town isn't really fit to live in 'for a gentleman, Sydney says and it is getting rather big and dirty.
To Neil he called him "the crip," but when in Sydney's presence was careful never to say anything to wound the boy's feelings an act of consideration rather remarkable for Paul, who, while really kind at heart, was oftentimes careless about the sensibilities of others. This afternoon Paul was evidently downcast, too downcast to be even cross.
Once, in Sydney, in mid-summer, about New Year's Day, the mercury went up to 106 deg. in the shade, and that is Sydney's memorable hot day. That would about tally with Little Rock's hottest day also, I imagine. My Sydney figures are taken from a government report, and are trustworthy.
She turned to him with a touch of distrust, and yet a look of question that seemed to implore her old friend for an explanation that might save him to her as an honest man.

Sydney's emotions are not recorded; but on the 10th of September Lord Grey offered him a Residentiary Canonry of St. Paul's "a snug thing, let me tell you, being worth full £2000 a year." It was not an overwhelming reward for such long and such brilliant service to the causes which Lord Grey represented, but it was a recognition and it was enough.
The blank which Sydney's departure left in the life of the household was felt by the master and mistress of Mount Morven and felt, unhappily, without any open avowal on either side of what was passing in their minds. In this way the governess became a forbidden subject between them; the husband waited for the wife to set the example of approaching it, and the wife waited for the husband.
And Guffey sent him plenty of volunteers no less than seven operatives one keeping Sydney's books, another helping with his mailing, two more helping to raise funds among the labor unions, others dropping in every day or two to advise him.
To their surprise and relief there proved to be no cause for anxiety after all. Without making an attempt to assert her authority, the new governess succeeded nevertheless when older and wiser women would have failed. The secret of Sydney's triumph over adverse circumstances lay hidden in Sydney herself.
He placed his own chair beside Sydney's and handed the diagram to him. "Now just go over this, will you; tell me just what your idea is." Sydney, still excited over the night's happenings, drew a ready pencil from his pocket, and began rather breathlessly: "I've placed the Robinson players in the positions that our second team occupies for the tackle-tandem.
