He did the things he had always done, hunted up the friends he had always known. He spent week-ends at various country places, and came always back to town with an undiminished sense of his need of Becky, and his need of revenge on Randy. He had heard before he left Virginia that Becky was at Nantucket. He had found some consolation in the fact that she was not at Huntersfield.
"When I was a freshman at Miss Allen's," she began, "I roomed with a sophomore whose home was not far from here. Several times I went with her to spend week-ends with her parents. On one of these occasions, after we had finished dinner and were comfortably seated around the open fire, her grandfather a very old man with snow-white hair was talking of his boyhood in this neighborhood.
She finds it an agreeable and speedy means of conveyance from her country seat to her town house, and also a very practical way of getting to see her friends at week-ends. She has been heard to complain, however, that a substitute for the pneumatic tyre less liable to puncture than it is would be a priceless boon." There! There! May they all rest in peace! They have added to the gaiety of mankind.
"Nice of you to have me." "Oh, we're awfully pleased." Jim dropped his knapsack on the broad sofa. "I've brought some food," he said. "Have you! That's sensible of you. We can't get a great deal here, except just at week-ends," said Tanny. Jim fished out a pound of sausages and a pot of fish paste. "How lovely the sausages," said Tanny.
This saves much time and hours of travel for all concerned. In an hour or two spent so shopping, you can get first impressions of more places than you could possibly visit in a month of week-ends. Thus you can limit your selection of places to be visited.
Of course, her game is beating up clients for the Limehouse dive." "You have visited 'The House of a Hundred Raptures'?" "Many times, at week-ends. Opium, like wine, is better enjoyed in company." "Does she post you the opium?" "Oh, no; my man goes to Limehouse for it. Ah! here she is." A woman came in, carrying a brown leather attache case.
Jim Silver, thwarted in his desire to acquire his grandfather's farm, rented a little hunting-box near by instead. There he kept his weight-carriers, and there during the hunting season he spent his week-ends and occasional holidays. Since the days when he walked his grand-dad's farm as a child, his ambitions had changed in degree but not in kind.
To turn back would be undignified, so she decided to pass them with a distant and lordly bow. Unfortunately for this, she could not resist the temptation to glance at Martin Trevor she had not seen him for some time, and it was surprising to meet him in the middle of the week, as he generally came home only for week-ends.
My husband came down to us for long week-ends, and as soon as we had provided ourselves with the absolute necessaries of life, visitors began to arrive: Professor and Mrs. Huxley; Sir Alfred Lyall; M. Jusserand, then Conseiller d'Ambassade under M. Waddington, now the French Ambassador to Washington; Mr. and Mrs.
Days together in the saddle, the risks and small adventures of the field, and by no means least those long hacks home at evening, not seldom in the dark, over the Downs, a great wind blowing gustily under clear stars, did their sure, unconscious work. Up to Christmas the young man visited Putnam's regularly. Then he missed two successive week-ends. When he came again there was a cloud over him.
