And there were even nights rare ones when only Dick and Graham and Paula sat at dinner, and when, afterward, the two men yarned for an hour before an early bed, while she played soft things to herself or disappeared earlier than they. But one moonlight evening, when the Watsons and Masons and Wombolds arrived in force, Graham found himself out, when every bridge table was made up.
She wouldn't call on the Watsons the line must be drawn somewhere even by the gentle Mrs. Jowett but she will be very sweet and nice to them. And Miss Mary Dawson. She is such a kind, comfortable presence in a room I think that would be a nice little party." Pamela obediently promised to do as Jean suggested.
Sure, there's no luck in being mane." Mrs. Motherwell felt bitterly grieved with Polly for failing her just when she needed her the most; "after me keepin' her and puttin' up with her all summer," she said. She began to wonder where she could secure help. Then she had an inspiration! The Watsons still owed ten dollars on the caboose. The eldest Watson girl was big enough to work.
Between two families, the Hoopers and the Watsons, a bitter feud had long existed, and from time to time men of each clan had fallen by the rifles of the other. The Hoopers were loyal Union men, and if the Watsons yielded any loyalty it was to the State of North Carolina.
One of the Tuckers, or possibly one of the Watsons, had Nolan in charge at the end of the war; and when, on returning from his cruise, he reported at Washington to one of the Crowninshields, who was in the Navy Department when he came home, he found that the Department ignored the whole business.
It occurred to him to take the drawings home, and he came back next day with the praises of his family. "I wonder you didn't become a painter," he said. "Only of course there's no money in it." It chanced that Mr. Carter two or three days later was dining with the Watsons, and the sketches were shown him. The following morning he sent for Philip. Philip saw him seldom and stood in some awe of him.
Friends came on board to welcome the Watsons; a whole family of friends surrounded and bore away Miss Fanshawe; I but I dared not for one moment dwell on a comparison of positions. Yet where should I go? I must go somewhere. Necessity dare not be nice.
Lindsey was always an attentive man in a business interview, but I had never seen him listen to anybody so closely as he listened to Mr. Smeaton. And after his usual fashion, he at once began to ask questions. "Those Watsons, now," he said. "They're living?" "No," replied Smeaton. "Both dead a few years ago." "That's a pity," remarked Mr. Lindsey.
Don't remember whether it was the Darnells and Watsons, or one of the other feuds; but anyway, this young man rode up steamboat laying there at the time and the first thing he saw was a whole gang of the enemy. He jumped down behind a wood-pile, but they rode around and begun on him, he firing back, and they galloping and cavorting and yelling and banging away with all their might.
Now, the odd thing was that all that time, though I knew that regular and handsome remittances came to the Watsons on my behalf from my father, he never expressed any wishes, or made any suggestions, as to what I should do with myself. But I was all for commercial life; and when I left college, I went into an office here in the town and began to study the ins and outs of foreign trade.
