Polly walked off to the Whartons' immediately after breakfast, announcing with quite an air of wishing it generally known that she would probably spend the day with Grace in the woods, and that Luella had given her a lunch to take. Miss Ada smiled when this announcement was made. She realized that there had been some childish squabble and she never paid much attention to such.
She wrote to her cousin Mary Wharton, and also to Lady Wharton; and her father wrote to Sir Alured; but the folk at Wharton Hall did not give in their adherence. Old Mrs. Fletcher was still there, but John Fletcher had gone home to Longbarns. The obduracy of the Whartons might probably be owing to these two accidents. Mrs.
On the way back they passed the Presbyterian Church; and the two Whartons, remarking that they were only five minutes too early, turned in there. 'Won't you come to church with me, Eva? asked Amy as the two walked on together. 'No, thank you; I have something to do at home. It's so jolly having a home that I prefer to stay in it.
It will be a dear affair though." Clary laughed. "Mr. Mortimer, am I rich enough to pay this Wharton?" "Oh, with your fortune you could buy a thousand Whartons." "And he will do all I ask of him?" "Yes." "Good! Wharton is my man. One thing more, Mr. Mortimer. You have the confidence of my family. I will give you a power of attorney to do with my fortune what you wish in case " "In case?"
By "the town" is meant that vague, expansive thing known as the "Four Hundred." Sam Rossiter, two years out of Yale, was an attachment to, but not a component part of, the Four Hundred. The Whartons were of the inner circle. Young Rossiter was ambitious. He was, besides, keen, aggressive, and determined to make well for himself.
If there are, as observed or hinted above, some unamiable touches, his persistent protection of the poor creature Mason; his general attitude to his friends the Whartons; and his communications with younger men like Norton Nicholls and Bonstetten, go far to remove, or, at least, to counterbalance, the impression.
It was sad to find that Whartons could go so far astray. "He goes to Carlton Terrace, to the Duchess's," continued the young man. "I don't think that that is very much in his favour," said the baronet. "I don't know that it is, sir; only they try to catch all fish in that net that are of any use." "Do you go there, Arthur?" "I should if I were asked, I suppose. I don't know who wouldn't.
Stella put the key into the door and turned the handle, but found that it was already unlocked; and, making their way to the sitting-room which was to be furnished for the Whartons for their own use, they found to their delight that not only was the fire lit, but the breakfast was laid, and the room quite tidy and furnished.
And every friend you have wants you to marry the man you love and to put an end to the desolation which you have brought on yourself. There is not one among us all, Fletchers and Whartons, whose comfort does not more or less depend on your sacrificing the luxury of your own woe." "Luxury!" "Yes; luxury.
"I have met the man." "Decent?" "Disgustingly indecent, I should say." John looked very black, for even with him the feeling about the Whartons and the Vaughans and the Fletchers was very strong. "He's a man I should say you wouldn't let into Longbarns." "There might be various reasons for that. It might be that you wouldn't care to meet him." "Well; no, I don't suppose I should.
