With the spring of a cat, Harry lunged forward and raised his arm as if to strike Willits in the face: Willits drew himself up to his full height and confronted him: Kate shrivelled within herself, all the color gone from her cheeks. Whether to call out for help or withdraw quietly, was what puzzled her. Both would concentrate the attention of the whole room on the dispute. St.
George's whispered caution in his ears, had also tried to frame a word of protest to the colonel, suggesting in the mildest way that that particular bowl of apple toddy be not replenished but the Lord of the Manor had silenced him with a withering glance before he had completed his sentence. In this dilemma he had again sought out St. George. "Look out for Willits, Uncle George.
"Plenty of them, Kate especially those who have been willing to stoop a little and so triumph. Harry has waited three years for some word from you; he has not asked for it, for he believes you have forgotten him; and then he was too much of a man to encroach upon another's rights. Does your breaking off with Mr. Willits alter the case in any way? does it make any difference?
Such quixotic action on the ground of safeguarding the rights of a young drunkard like Willits, who didn't know when he had had enough, might very well do for a self-appointed autocrat like Rutter, she maintained, but some equally respectable people would have him know that they disagreed with him. "Just like Talbot Rutter," she exclaimed in her outspoken, decided way "no sense of proportion.
It seems the Northwestern Pacific has decided to build up from Willits, and all that powwow and publicity of Buck Ogilvy's about the N.C.O. was in all probability the very thing that spurred them to action.
Why, even when she got home last week after that awful time you and she had up at Pine Lake, and her having to stay overnight without so much as a clean collar, she walked in here as fresh as a daisy won't you let me give you some more coffee, Professor?" "Thank you, yes. You were saying " "Willits, do you think so much coffee is good for you?" "Land sakes, Doctor, my coffee won't hurt him!
Willits was kind and always at my beck and call and so thoughtful and attentive and I tried and tried but I couldn't. I always had you before me and you haunted me day and night, and sometimes when he would come in that door I used to start, hoping it might be you." "It IS me, my darling!" he cried, springing toward her. "I don't want to hear any more I must I will "
"Don't mind me!" said the visitor meekly. "Willits! by Jove, I thought it would be you! Say, would you mind not sitting on that chair? It's just glued!" The visitor arose with conspicuous alacrity. He was a tall man with a domelike head, piercing eyes and formidable nose. Ann's description had been terribly accurate.
"It makes some difference, however, of whom you ask forgiveness. I've been willing to say the same kind of thing to my father ever since my affair with Mr. Willits, but it would have fallen on deaf ears. I had another trial at it yesterday, and you know what happened." "I don't think your father knew you, Harry," protested St. George, with a negative wave of his hand.
She had long since become convinced that Willits would never again become intemperate. He had kept his promise, and this meant more to her than his having given way to past temptations. The lesson he had learned at the ball had had, too, its full effect. One he had never forgotten.
