"Is not the question one of money?" she said, shyly, knowing Mr. Whitford to be poor. "Old Vernon chooses to spend his money that way." replied Sir Willoughby. "If it saves him from breaking his shins and risking his neck on his Alps, we may consider it well employed." "Yes," Clara's voice occupied a pause. She seized her languor as it were a curling snake and cast it off.
"Better speak up, young fellow, me lad," advised the detective. "It won't help you any to be sulky. You're up against the electric chair sure." The Arizonan looked at him with the level, unafraid eyes of the hills. "I reckon I'll not talk till I'm ready," he said in his slow drawl. The handcuffs clicked on his wrists. Colin Whitford came into the room carrying a morning paper.
If her father found him guilty of what Durand had said, he was to dismiss him brusquely; if not, Beatrice wanted to disengage herself gently and with contrition. Whitford summoned Bromfield to his office where the personal equation would be less pronounced. He put to him plainly the charge made by Jerry and demanded an answer. The younger man was between the devil and the deep sea.
But there was no use in regretting what had happened, and, after a hot breakfast in the airship, with Mr. Damon presiding at the electrical stove, they all felt more hopeful. Mr. Whitford left for his office, promising to send word to Tom as to whether or not Andy was abroad in the airship during the night.
Whitford is not to be persuaded by me, and the breaking of our engagement would not induce him to remain." "Vernon used those words?" "It was I." "'The breaking of our engagement! Come into the laboratory, my love." "I shall not have time." "Time shall stop rather than interfere with our conversation! 'The breaking . . .! But it's a sort of sacrilege to speak of it."
I sold the last of my treasured MSS. to a fifth-rate magazine this morning, for what it would fetch. It has been like eating one's own children but, at least, they have fed me. So now "to fresh fields and pastures new." When Lancelot reached the banker's a letter was put into his hand; it bore the Whitford postmark, and Mrs. Lavington's handwriting.
But grandpapa died, and she came to live here, and somehow Mr. Arnott turned up again, quartered at Whitford, and papa talked over my Uncle Mackenzie, and helped them and Mr. Arnott thought the best way would be to go out to the colonies. They went when New Zealand was very new, and a very funny life they had!
Those who saw it were struck by its deep concern. "Confound his impudence!" ejaculated Ellis Whitford as he saw Blanche vanish through the library door.
At least it opened a new field of amusement and knowledge; it promised him new studies of human life; and as he lay on his sofa and let his thoughts flow, Tregarva's dark revelations began to mix themselves with dreams about the regeneration of the Whitford poor, and those again with dreams about the heiress of Whitford; and many a luscious scene and noble plan rose brightly detailed in his exuberant imagination.
I'd certainly be in your debt if you could show me a way." "When is the election?" "At three o'clock." "Where?" "At the company offices." "Perhaps if I talked with Bromfield " Whitford laughed shortly. "I'd talk an arm off him if it would do any good. But it won't. He's out for revenge." Clay's eyes alighted swiftly on the older man.
