"Stop," says T. Waldo, holdin' up his hand like I was the cross-town traffic. "You must not go on with this silly business chatter. I am not in the least interested. Besides, you are interrupting my tutoring period." "Your which?" says I, gawpin'. "Mr. Tidman," he goes on, "is my private tutor. He helps me to study from ten to two every day."
He was a perfectly healthy, good-natured lad, whose faults were much like those of the cheerful, undisciplined Marian. His mother scanned the reports of Blackford's demerits and decided that he required tutoring immediately. She thereupon reasoned that it would score with her aunt if she employed "that girl" to coach the delinquent Blackford.
He couldn't explain the situation at all, himself. If there was anything that he admired and respected in woman, it was a well-stored, logical mind, and three months' tutoring of Francesca had shown him that her mental machinery was of an obsolete pattern and that it was not even in good working order. He said he was not so sure about Francesca's eyes.
"And you've got to wash them up before I can touch them," stipulated the fastidious Babbie. "Where have you been all summer, Rachel?" "Right at home, helping in an office during the day and tutoring evenings. And I've saved enough so that I shan't have to worry one single bit about money this year," announced Rachel triumphantly.
He spent his days in doing good deeds to man and beast, saving strangers from the devouring sea, or giving their bodies Christian burial; tutoring the rugged hearts of his people; and living himself, in spite of much sorrow, disappointment, loss, in a world of holy dream and vision, conversing in spirit with saints and angels.
His beard bristled, and his blue eyes glittered. "You impudent dog," he said quietly, "you come round the corner where these people can't see us and I'll give you some private tutoring." He led the way round the corner of the alley. In this narrow channel, between blank walls, they confronted each other.
One would be glad to know what Henry thought of it all, and whether he liked the tutoring his courtiers got and were about to get. The humour, shrewdness, tact, and piety combined must have appealed to his many-sided mind and now saddened heart. He had lost his heir and was tossed upon stormy seas, so perhaps he had small leisure to spare for the next act of the drama.
He had the older boy, who went by the name of Hines, sent to college, and in summer he stayed at Henry's tutoring school. Henry said the boy was like the Burgess family, blonde and excitable and rather commonplace. He did not get on well at college, and did not graduate. So far as he knew, Clark never saw him.
But her pride, her settled determination to unbend to him in no way and to have no dealings with him, were stronger than her impulse; and the struggling warning remained unuttered. "Nothing's the matter," she said, and brushed past him and hurried up the stairway. At times during the day, while tutoring with Mr. Bronson, Larry thought of Maggie's strange look.
"Well, it's been easy enough since, even with tutoring and shorthanding; six lawyers to every case " "Wasn't tutoring Helen your main occupation?" asked Kitty Reid audaciously. "I have somehow inferred that " But there was a sound of hurrying feet on the stairs, and she sprang to the door, crying: "Cadge and Pros.! They said they were coming."
