Do you know he could not find anything worth taking at the Wilsons', after all his trouble. I have often sat in that drawing-room myself, and wondered if they should offer me anything in it as a present, whether I could find something that would not actually disgrace me. I never could. He evidently felt the same way.
Maybright taught the girls herself, and the boys had a rather frightened-looking nursery-governess, who often was seen to rush from the school-room dissolved in tears; but was generally overtaken half-way up the avenue by two small figures, nearly throttled by two pairs of repentant little arms, while eager lips vowed, declared, and vociferated, that they would never, never be naughty again that they would never tease their own sweet, sweetest of Miss Wilsons any more.
The Wilsons make a great to-do about the house having been entered, and tell you how he must have been frightened away, frightened away by the hideousness of their things! Those woolly paintings on wood, and the black satin parasol that turns out to be an umbrella stand." "My dear Florence," said her brother mildly, "how can a black satin parasol be an umbrella-stand?" "Exactly, Geof, how can it?
Had they lived at a distance, he might have surmounted the objection, but within two or three miles of Woodford it was really no light matter. ‘You’ve been to call on the Wilsons, Lawrence,’ said I, as I walked beside his pony.
Wilson's to meet her, to be with her, to revel in the delicious pleasure of hoping, of fearing, of loving. The house of the Wilsons at Beverly Farms was on a bluff overlooking the sea.
Prominent among them have been the Wilsons of both Yale and Princeton, Tom being a guard on the Princeton teams of 1911 and 1912, while Alex captained Yale in 1915 and saw another brother in orange and black waiting on the side lines across the field. Situations like this are always productive of thrills.
Robert felt an immense relief, and now he was able to assume his best manner when Mr. Hardy began to present him and Tayoga to many of the notables. He met the governor, Mr. Watts, and more De Lanceys, Wilsons and Crugers than he could remember, and he received invitations to great houses, and made engagements which he intended to keep, if it were humanly possible.
"Mark could have invited Patty an' paid for her ticket, I should think; or passed her in free, for that matter, when the Wilsons got up the entertainment; but, of course, the Deacon never allows his girls to go anywheres with men-folks." "Not in public; so they meet 'em side o' the river or round the corner of Bart's shop, or anywhere they can, when the Deacon's back's turned.
‘Oh, Gilbert!’ ‘Well, do you think I could believe anything of the kind,—whatever the Wilsons and Millwards dared to whisper?’ ‘I should hope not indeed!’ ‘And why not?—Because I know you—Well, and I know her just as well.’ ‘Oh, no! you know nothing of her former life; and last year, at this time, you did not know that such a person existed.’ ‘No matter.
"Where the wicked cease from troubling, and the weary are at rest." "And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes," etc. And it was to that world Alice was hastening! Oh! that she were Alice! I must return to the Wilsons' house, which was far from being the abode of peace that Mary was picturing it to herself. You remember the reward Mr.
