He stopped at a cottage nestled in a grove of fir trees and persuaded the housewife there to wrap him a lunch to take with him up the trail.

Westley was thinking that Maria Drinkwater was a very silly woman! Aunt Maria spent most of her time berating the "government." That was why, she explained, she was going to France. The officials in Washington were just sitting there letting everything go to the dogs! "Look at the prices! We're being robbed by Labor actually robbed, every moment of our lives!"
What sentiment had led Peter Westley to leave Highacres to the Lincoln School no one would ever know; perhaps deep in his queer old heart was an affection for his nephew Robert's children, who came dutifully to see him once or twice a year, but made no effort to conceal the fact that they thought it a dreadful bore.
She looked down, and said, "I wish the work was twice as hard!" "Ah, you have come to that very soon," said Mrs. Westley; and then they were both silent, till she added, "How are you getting on with your picture of Miss Maybough?"

I suppose if we're going to the seashore we ought to make some reservations, too " and Mrs. Westley concluded her plaint with a sigh that came from her very toes. John Westley, from the depths of the great armed chair where he stretched, laughed at her serious face. But the expression of his own reflected the truth of what she had said.

He was watching the race with intense interest.

"It doesn't seem to stand for it that a stable-boy on a bad horse like Lauzanne is goin' to beat me out." "The boss says you're to have two thousand fer winnin', Westley, so don't make no mistake.
