You'll save me a vast amount of time and energy and yourself a vast amount of fuming and fretting, if you'll simply accept what I say, without discussion. When I want discussion I'll ask your advice." "I'm afraid you don't think it's worth much," said Tetlow humbly, "and I guess it isn't." "On the contrary, invaluable," declared Norman with flattering emphasis.
She stood before him listlessly, as if she had no interest either in what he was saying or in him. That maddening indifference! "It was a mistake to tattle your trouble to Tetlow." "I did not tattle," said she quietly, colorlessly. "I said only enough to make him help me." "And what did he say about me?" "That I had misjudged you that I must be mistaken." Norman laughed.
"I like thy counsel, lad. Yes, I will retire when I have finished the old monastic Rhenish which Gregory is bringing me. I will retire when I have danced the Morisco with the May Queen the Cushion Dance with Dame Tetlow and the Brawl with the lovely Isole de Heton. Another wink, Dick. By our Lady! she assents to my proposition.
Tetlow did not appear to have seen the fight that amounted to so little. Perhaps he pretended not to. WHETHER Danny Rugg was afraid the principal had seen him trying to force a fight on Bert, or whether the unexpected fall that came to him, caused it, no one knew, but certainly, for the next few days, Danny let Bert alone.
"Certainly," said Norman, without turning. "Thank you, Fred. You're a good friend." "I'll see you before you go," said Norman, still facing the window. "You'll come back all right." Tetlow did not answer. When Norman turned he was alone.
"Why do you want to marry her?" he inquired, in a tone his sensitive ear approved as judicial. "How can I tell?" replied the head clerk irritably. "Does a man ever know?" "Always when he's sensibly in love." "But when he's just in love? That's what ails me," retorted Tetlow, with a sheepish look and laugh. "Billy, you've got to get over this. I can't let you make a fool of yourself."
And with an air of calmness so convincing that he believed in it he addressed himself to the task of sanity and wisdom lying plain before him. "A man of my position caught by a girl like that! A man such as I am, caught by any woman whatever!" It was grotesque. He opened his door to summon Tetlow. The gate in the outside railing was directly opposite, and about thirty feet away.
Isn't that right?" "Something like that," admitted Tetlow. "But they were eager to get you. It was only a question of trusting you. I was able to do you a good turn there." "And I'll make a rich man, and a famous one, of you," said Norman. "Yes. I believe you will," cried Tetlow, tears in his prominent studious eyes. "I'll see those people in a day or two, and let you know.
How are you, Farmer Tetlow?" he added to a stout, hale-looking man, with a blooming country woman by his side "brought your pretty young wife to the rush-bearing, I see." "Yeigh, squoire," rejoined the farmer, "an mightily pleased hoo be wi' it, too." "Happy to hear if, Master Tetlow," replied Nicholas, "she'll be better pleased before the day's over, I'll warrant her.
But never a bit daunted was I. I went up the steps to the porch, rang the bell, and asked for the great man with as much assurance as if I were a daily visitor on Cedar Street. I calmly awaited the appearance of Mr. Tetlow in the reception room, and stated my errand without trepidation. And why not?
