His last effort was made, when we had looked at our watches, and had got on our legs previous to taking leave. "I shall now wish you good-night, ma'am," says the Sergeant. "And I shall only say, at parting, that Rosanna Spearman has a sincere well-wisher in myself, your obedient servant. But, oh dear me! she will never get on in her present place; and my advice to her is leave it."
But, notwithstanding all these mortifications, I suppose there is no well-wisher to his country, without a little hope, that in time the kingdom may be on a better foot in some of the articles above mentioned.
Perhaps in time you will change your opinion of me. Whether we shall ever meet again, I don't know, but in any case I remain your sincere well-wisher, 'P.S. The two hundred roubles I owe you I will send directly I reach my estate in T province. Also I beg you not to speak to Darya Mihailovna of this letter.
I speak to you now only as a friend and as a well-wisher. Did I understand Williams to say that the document was stolen from your study at Martinhoe?" "It was stolen," Tallente replied, "by my secretary, Anthony Palliser, who disappeared with it one night in August." "'Disappeared' seems rather a vague term," Horlock remarked. "A trifle melodramatic, I admit," Tallente assented.
Owen's face, which had looked something blank when the question was put, cleared up at my ready answer, and wore a smile of hope, when I brought from my apartment, and placed before my father, a commercial-looking volume, rather broader than it was long, having brazen clasps and a binding of rough calf. This looked business-like, and was encouraging to my benevolent well-wisher.
He was the head of a well-known theatrical managerial firm in New York, and an old friend and well-wisher of Patsy's. In it she explained, partly, her continued sojourn in America, and frankly confessed to her financial needs. If he had anything anywhere that she could do until the fall bookings with her own company, she would be most humbly grateful.
But one man there was, who could well be trusted to play his part in this difficult matter, and he knew the circumstances and had already asked me time and again when Gregory was going to take the plunge. So I went to Arthur Parable and explained the situation and hoped, as an old friend and a well-wisher and a man far above suspicion, he'd lend a hand. "It's like this, Arthur," I said.
I think if I do so, I will die soon perhaps! "This my handwriting or content hereof shall be kept secretly. "I beg to remain "Your faithful & well-wisher "on 5441th day of reign. "the writer here of beg to place his confidence on you alway." As a true friend to his Majesty, I deplore the weakness which betrayed him into so transparent a sham of virtuous indignation.
Had he stopped there but what talker to young people would or could have stopped there? He whisked out the check and showed it, and then the identical letter from the assistant cashier of the Bank of Manhadoes was held up before the admiring boys and girls and read aloud to show how modestly this benevolent well-wisher had hidden his hand.
"Ah, my old friend Dumbie!" said the Duke; "I have thrice seen him fou, and only once heard the sound of his voice Is he a cousin of yours, Jeanie?" "No, sir, my Lord." "Then he must be a well-wisher, I suspect?" "Ye yes, my Lord, sir," answered Jeanie, blushing, and with hesitation. "Aha! then, if the Laird starts, I suppose my friend Butler must be in some danger?"
