"And she is a good cow," said the squire, emphatically; "and you're lucky to get her so cheap, buyin' on time. What are you doin' there, Harry? School through, ain't it?" "Yes, sir." "I hear you're a good scholar. Got the prize, didn't you?" "Yes," said Mr. Walton; "Harry was always good at his books." "I guess he knows enough now. You'd ought to set him to work."
In some of these paroxysms of fancy, Miss Walton did not fail to be introduced; and the picture which had been drawn amidst the surrounding objects of unnoticed levity was now singled out to be viewed through the medium of romantic imagination: it was improved of course, and esteem was a word inexpressive of the feelings which it excited.
I then told them the story as young Tom had related it to me, and asked if his sister was not in the house and might not go to fetch him. But she was with her sister Catherine. "I think, Mr Walton, if you have done with me, I ought to go home now," said Miss Oldcastle. "Certainly," I answered. "I will take you home at once. I am greatly obliged to you for coming."
You don't catch me brooding over trouble when there are a thousand pleasant things to think of." "That is easier said than done, Miss Walton. I read on your smooth brow that you have had few serious troubles, and, as you say, 'you have a thousand pleasant things to think of. But with others it may be very different.
I know all about the goodness of such girls. They are ignorant of the world; they have never been tempted, and they have a brood of little feminine weaknesses that of course are not paraded in public. "And no doubt all this is true of Miss Walton, and yet, for some reason, she interests me a little this evening.
"He didn't mean nothin'," said Shag, still chuckling as he thought of the scene. "It's jest his way." The train rumbled on through the early night, and in his comfortable chair Colonel Ashley read his Walton, the ingratiating humor of the dear, old fisherman gradually dispelling all other thoughts. Colonel Ashley at this stage of his career, was almost an international figure.
Walton, on the days when football was not compulsory, smoked cigarettes. Neither of the pair showed any desire to open the fight by shaking hands. This was not a friendly spar. It was business. The first move was made by Walton, who feinted with his right and dashed in to fight at close quarters. It was not a convincing feint. At any rate, it did not deceive Kennedy.
He had newly purchased that manor, and having one hundred and fifty acres of ground, formerly park and wood ground lying in our parish, conceived, he had right of common in our parish of Walton: thereupon, he puts three hundred sheep upon the common; part whereof I impounded: he replevins them, and gave me a declaration. I answered it. The trial was to be at the Assizes at Kingston in April 1664.
"Maybe the squire would lend you money to buy a cow. He always keeps money to lend on high interest." Mr. Walton reflected a moment, then said slowly, "I must have a cow, and I don't know of any other way, but I hate to go to him." "He's the only man that's likely to have money to lend in town." "Well, I'll go." "Good luck to you, neighbor Walton." "I need it enough," said Hiram Walton, soberly.
So now when my caller mentioned a truck of the manure which had come by mistake to Evesham Station, though consigned to Evershot in Somerset, my suspicions were confirmed, and when I innocently remarked, "I think I remember that truck, didn't it go to Alton once in mistake for Walton?" his countenance fell, and he wished me "good-morning" in a hurry.
