Hester was persuaded that Alured could not live through that eighth year of his life at the utmost, and Perrault somehow persuaded her, that only as her husband could he protect her interests and Trevor's, though what machinations she could have expected from us, I cannot guess; or how, in the case of a minor, we could have interfered with her rights.
Doggie ran into the dining-room and returned with a decanter of whisky, glass and siphon an adjunct to the sideboard since Mrs. Trevor's death. Phineas filled half the tumbler with spirit, tossed it off, smiled fantastically, tried to rise, and rolled upon the carpet. Doggie, frightened, rang the bell. Peddle, the old butler, appeared. "Mr. McPhail is ill.
Trevor's company, but the senator seemed to realize that something serious had happened to him, for his voice was not altogether steady as he pronounced the amount of his contribution. "Trevor," cried Mr. Cooke, with great fervor, "I take it all back. You're a true, public-spirited old sport."
After some time the servant came in, and told Trevor that the framemaker wanted to speak to him. 'Don't run away, Hughie, he said, as he went out, 'I will be back in a moment. The old beggar-man took advantage of Trevor's absence to rest for a moment on a wooden bench that was behind him.
McPhail had started life with many eager curiosities, under the impulse of which he had amassed considerable knowledge of a superficial kind which, lolling in an arm-chair, with a pipe in his mouth, he found easy to impart. To the credit side of Mrs. Trevor's queer account it may be put that she did not object to smoking. The late Canon smoked incessantly.
He pulled up a chair in front of the fire, and gave himself up to speculating how Trevor was getting on in the neighbouring study. He was glad he had left him to finish the business. If he had been in Trevor's place, there was nothing he would so greatly have disliked as to have some one however familiar a friend interfering in his wars and settling them for him.
Paterfamilias, who had heard his son's eulogies on Trevor's performances during the holidays, and came down to watch the school play a match, was generally rather disappointed on seeing five feet six where he had looked for at least six foot one, and ten stone where he had expected thirteen.
But enough to make me sure. He's working at Trevor's game right now. If we can prove that it is Trevors's game, it will go to show how worthless his alibi was." "Well?" called Quinnion, the third time. "What about it? We ain't goin' to wait all night." "Tell him," whispered Judith, her hand on Lee's arm, "to come and get it if he wants it!
A moment later she was thankful that she had made no objections, as Sylvia Trevor's name from Bridgie's lips convinced her that here at least a stand must be made. "Oh, my dear, it is no use asking Miss Trevor. She is lame, and I shall have enough to do without looking after invalids." "She would come with us, and we would take care of her. The boys are so fond of Sylvia.
The bare idea of such a thing was enough to lend wings of terror to Miss Trevor's feet; and she was about to dart away from Hannah's side when the hand of the latter in its turn arrested her, giving, if possible, new force to the fears of the old lady. "What did I come for?" she ejaculated, "yes, come. I wish I was back in Sylvandale yes, Sylvandale, indeed, 'dale." "Sylvandale!"
