Quentin's Mansions, and after consultation with the porter, who, knowing me to be a friend of Mr. Chayne's, assured me that I need not have burdened myself with the horrible key, I entered Jaffery's chambers. I found the small sitting-room in very much the same state of litter as when Jaffery left it. He enjoyed litter and hated the devastating tidiness of housemaids.
Full of joy and gratitude, Christina watched her mother's eyes grow bright again, and so she left Mitty in charge of her many affairs and took the train for a week's visit to Port Stewart. Mary's house was as pretty as ever, but had lost much of its immaculate tidiness. For Hughie Lindsay MacGillivray's wardrobe and appointments overflowed into every room.
McKee's; and, having given up the love of woman with other things, he was careful not to look about for Sidney on his way. He breakfasted at Mrs. McKee's, and was initiated into the mystery of the ticket punch. The food was rather good, certainly plentiful; and even his squeamish morning appetite could find no fault with the self-respecting tidiness of the place.
The room was small a mere box above the kitchen which Sidney shared with two small cousins. Her bed and the cot where the little girls slept filled up almost all the available space. The furniture was poor, but everything was neat it was the only neat room in the house, indeed, for tidiness was no besetting virtue of Aunt Jane's.
But I must not put you to sleep a second time, so I will not describe the lists of good habits which Fatima and I drew up in fine Roman characters, and which were to be kept as good resolutions had never been kept before. We borrowed the red ink, to make them the more impressive to the eye, and, unfortunately, spilt it. A bad beginning, as many of our rules had reference to tidiness.
After this experience Katherine decided that tidiness might be too dearly bought, and set to work to re-arrange matters after a more practical pattern. But all this took time, and, with her other work added on, effectually prevented her having time for moping, which was of course a very good thing.
Each day she has innumerable opportunities to express the Christ in her her spirituality in the neatness of her apparel, and in the tidiness of her home and yard. She may take her religion her Christ into the kitchen and express Him and the 100 per cent spirituality in her cooking, sweeping, and in her dish washing.
Some of the heaviness of his spirit always left him at sight of the little house. Its kindly atmosphere seemed to reach out and envelop him. Within was order and quiet, the fresh-down bed, the tidiness of his ordered garments. There was even affection Reginald, waiting on the fender for his supper, and regarding him with wary and bright-eyed friendliness.
It is not fanciful to see in it a land to which its people have been stubbornly and tenderly devoted still "Shakespeare's England," still his favoured "isle set in the silver sea." As seen from the railway-carriage window, one is struck, too, by the comparative tidiness of the English landscape.
Gammon's homestead to be a gray and unkempt farm-house from which the weather had scrubbed the paint. The front yard was bare of every vestige of grass and contained a clutter that seemed to embrace everything namable, including a gravestone. "What be ye gettin' ready for an auction?" growled the Cap'n, groutily, his seaman's sense of tidiness offended.
