"I will go with you to the coach-office," said her father, who generally gave these simple paternal duties the pronounced character of a public Christian example. "It's hardly worth while," replied Miss Nellie. "I've to stop at the Watsons', at the foot of the hill, and ask after the baby; so I shall go on to the Crossing and pick up the coach when it passes. Good-by."
The agents came at eight o'clock, a gloomy man in uniform and two kind-looking, sweet-faced women in brown. Mr. Bingle's voice broke occasionally as he read "The Christmas Carol" to a silent, attentive audience made up of Kathleen and Sydney Force, Melissa, Diggs and the two Watsons. Fortunately, he knew the story so well that he was not called upon to perform the impossible.
Apart from sin altogether, it must be hard for God to pardon our childishness ... But about the Miss Watsons d'you think I might call on them?" "Well, they wouldn't call on you, I'm sure of that. Suppose I ask them to meet you, and then you could fix a day for them to have tea with you? It would be a tremendous treat for them, and pleasant for you too they are very entertaining."
"No," Danny roared, "tell me how about the pink lady, tell her, and her." "Wait till we get home, Danny man." Pearlie's grief flowed afresh. Disgrace had fallen on the Watsons, and Pearlie knew it.

It startled him at first, but he could not help thinking of it, and in the constant rumination over it he found his only escape from the wretchedness of his present state. They all thought he had talent; at Heidelberg they had admired his water colours, Miss Wilkinson had told him over and over again that they were chasing; even strangers like the Watsons had been struck by his sketches.
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.
McGuire with the uncomfortable feeling that he had some way got the best of her. The Watsons had planted their potatoes beside the fence, and did not dream of evil.
Augusta Hope had walked up from Hopetoun with her mother's love to the travellers, a basket of fruit for the boys, and a book for Jean. The little Miss Watsons hopped forth from their dwelling with an offering of a home-baked cake, "just in case you get hungry on the road, you know." Bella Bathgate was there, looking very saturnine, and counselling Mhor as to his behaviour.
