In March, 1914, Glenn Curtiss was invited to send a flying boat to Washington for the celebration of 'Langley Day, when he remarked, 'I would like to put the Langley aeroplane itself in the air. In consequence of this remark, Secretary Walcot of the Smithsonian Institution authorised Curtiss to re-canvas the original Langley aeroplane and launch it either under its own power or with a more recent engine and propeller.
The little Rowlands sometimes met them in the lanes: and the younger ones would thrust upon them the wild flowers which Mr Walcot had helped them to gather, while Mrs Rowland and Matilda would draw down their black crape veils, and walk on with scarcely a passing salutation.
There's no doubt he is at home." "I could wait here till the gentleman comes home," said the tall woman; "and so get the first advice for my poor baby. 'Tis very ill, ma'am." "Better go to Mr Walcot," persisted Morris. "Or to my brother at Mr Grey's," said Margaret, unwilling to lose the chance of a new patient for Edward, and thinking his advice better, for the child's sake, than Mr Walcot's.
Mr Walcot had complained that the odds were really too much against him, and that he believed himself likely to lose almost every fever patient he had. It may be imagined how welcome to him were Mr Hope's countenance, suggestions, and influence, such as the prejudices of the people had left it. Dr Levitt's influence was of little more avail than Mr Hope's.
"Mr Walcot is a surgeon, last from Cheltenham, who settled in Deerbrook at seven o'clock yesterday evening, and who has already swept the greater part of the practice of the place, I suspect. He is, no doubt, the `better doctor, `the new man, of whom we have heard so much of late."
It is pleasant enough to have no insult and danger to apprehend; but what will you say to having no funds?" "We shall see when that time comes, love. Meantime, here is breakfast, and the sweet Sunday all before us?" The pressure of her hand by her husband effaced all woes, present and future. "Who is Mr Walcot?" asked Margaret. "Somebody from Blickley, I suppose," said Hester. "No," replied Hope.
You know, also, that my mother has entire confidence in him, and that it will go near to break her heart to have him dismissed for any one else. This is the meaning of what I say. As for what I mean to do it is this. I shall speak to Mr Walcot at once, before his intention to settle here is known." "You are too late, my dear sir.
"Excellent in theory, Sydney; but who likes to be tied down not to speak on any subject, especially one which is turning up every hour? Your plan will not answer." "I will ask you because I said I would and all the more because you are not cross about Mr Walcot " "Hold your tongue, Sydney!" said the mother. "Do not be ridiculous, Sydney," advised the sister.
I will write fully to my parents first. I will do that this afternoon. Philip thought that Dr Levitt must have been preaching to his new parishioner to join the wisdom of the serpent with the harmlessness of the dove. Mr Walcot himself seemed quietly satisfied with his own decision, for he adhered to it, repeating it in answer to every appeal that Philip could devise.
Those are all of one family, I suppose those about the island," observed Mr Grey. "Yes, sir; they can't abide neighbours. They won't suffer a nest within a mile." "They fight it out, if they approach too near, eh?" said Enderby. "Yes, sir; they leave one another for dead. I have lost some of the finest swans under my charge in that way." "Do you not part them when they fight?" asked Walcot.
