Hayne's sister was coming, and neither the Rayners nor Buxtons had heard of it; neither had Nellie Travers, for it was after the evening of her last visit that Mrs. Waldron was told. Hayne ran with his telegram to the major, and the latter had introduced himself and Major Stannard to Mrs. Hurley when, after a weary wait of some hours, the train arrived.
Waldron expressed his regret that they should be obliged to force themselves upon a private party, and Jordan assured him that it would be a pleasure to serve them, although he said it with one more appraising glance at Julius. He added that he would take them in his own car, that being the only one which had two seats to spare.
"It's a puzzler," confessed Arthur Waldron. "D'you think Ray has grown bad-tempered, father?" "Do you?" "No, I'm sure I don't. He is a little different, but that's because he's going to be married. No doubt people do get a little different, then. But Nancy Buckler at the Mill said she thought the best wedding present for him would be a new temper."
It looks visionary to me; but then, as you well say, so has every new idea always looked. Let me think, now; let me think." "Go ahead and think!" growled the Billionaire. "Think and be hanged to you! I'm going to act!" Waldron vouchsafed no reply, but merely eyed his partner with cold interest, as though he were some biological specimen under a lens, and smoked the while.
Waldron, his attention called to the photograph, surveyed it with a quiet comment: "I should have known she would look like this when she grew up"; and turned away without undue lingering. Yet Julius was satisfied that Waldron would know the face again when he saw it, as it was intended that he should.
Farrer's article in the last Fortnightly? It reminded me of an article on bequests by you some years ago which interested and almost converted me. Waldron Edge, Duppas Hill, Croydon. January 9, 1880. My dear Darwin, It is a great pleasure to receive a letter from you sometimes especially when we do not differ very much. I am, of course, much pleased and gratified that you like my article.
He had now been three hours without his dose of morphia, and his nerves were calling, tugging insistently for it. "Rotten luck," he grumbled, "that I've got none with me!" Even there, in the imminent presence of disaster and death, his mind reverted to the poison, more necessary to him than food. Waldron now had grown fairly calm.
It was during a pleasant summer holiday that the plan of this little work was conceived: the author was taking temporary duty at Waldron in Sussex, during the absence of its vicar the Walderne of our story, formerly so called, a lovely village situated on the southern slope of that range of low hills which extends from Hastings to Uckfield, and which formed the backbone of the Andredsweald.
I must ask father if that is true." "I suppose you respect your father?" said Mr. Waldron severely. "Oh, no," replied Sophy. "I only love him. I think the feeling I have for the gas man must be respect. Yes, I think it must be, there is something so disagreeable about it." "Why?"
"Got it, Herzog?" demanded Flint, while Waldron lighted still another of those costly cigars each one worth a good mechanic's daily wage. "Yes, sir, I believe so, sir," the scientist replied, depreciatingly. "That is, at least, on a small scale. Two weeks was the time you allowed me, sir, but " "I know. You've done it in eleven days," interrupted, the Billionaire. "Very well. I knew you could.
