She went to the bank, and was instantly invited into the manager's office and given a luxurious chair. "Well, Mrs. Studdiford," said Mr. Perry pleasantly, "what brings you out in this dreadful weather?" "Good-byes," Julia said, flinging back her veil, and laying her muff aside. "Miss Toland and I will probably leave for New York on the seventh, and sail as soon as we can after we get there.
When the members of the board of directors were buzzing about, Julia, with her neatly written report, was a little study in alert and silent efficiency. "She's a cute little thing," said Mrs. von Hoffmann, president of The Alexander Toland Neighbourhood House, after one of these meetings of the board, "but she never has much to say."
Dolls and blocks were scattered on the hearth rug, and Julia sat her daughter down among them, and jumped up with a radiant face to greet the newcomer. "Aunt Sanna you darling! And you're going to spend the night?" Julia cried out joyfully, with her first kisses. "What a dear thing for you to do! But you're wet?" "No, I dropped everything in my room," Miss Toland said.
They were all there: the girls on their knees, Richard kneeling by his father, his fingers on the failing pulse. Mrs. Toland was seated, Julia kneeling beside her, holding both her cold hands. A sound of subdued sobbing filled the air; no sound came from the dying man except when a fluttering breath raised his chest. His eyes were shut; he appeared to be sleeping.
But Julia's heart began to beat fast in nervous anticipation. Mrs. Toland received them very graciously the next day, and Julia was at once made to feel at home in the pretty house, which was littered charmingly to-day with all sorts of Christmas gifts, and bright with open fires.
I am not surprised to see the Bishop mention with contempt all Convocations of the Clergy; for Toland, Collins, Tindal, and others of the fraternity, talk the very same language. His Lordship confesses he "is not" inclined "to expect much from the assemblies of clergymen."
If Toland failed to prove that there were no mysteries in Christianity, yet perhaps he set men a-thinking that there was a real danger of darkening counsel by words without knowledge, through the indiscriminate use of scholastic jargon.
It's a sort of miracle to see her now, so brave and good and contented, after all the storms I remember." Mrs. Toland did not speak for a few moments, then she said: "Julie, Jim's like a son of my own to me. You'll forgive a fussy old woman, who loves her children, if she talks frankly to you? Don't throw away all the future, dear.
"You said that once," Miss Toland said dispassionately. Jim grinned, unabashed. He had been in love with one girl or another since his fourteenth year, and liked nothing so much as having his affairs of the heart discussed. "Well, it's true, and I'll say it again for luck!" said he. "Who is she?
Ted volunteered, as she often volunteered of late, to go for the mail, and sauntered off under a red parasol, and Mrs. Toland slipped from the table just in time to waylay her oldest son in the hall. "Not going to catch the 9:40, Ned?" she asked. "Sure pop I am!" He was sorry to be caught, and she saw it under his bluff, pleasant manner. "You couldn't take the 10:20 with Dad and Jim?"
