Worthington's child; understood, too, that Adah was the wife of Dr.
Then he mopped his face, and winked very deliberately at the storekeeper. Then Mr. Merrill laughed. "Well, well," he said, "for a man who comes down here to stay with Jethro Bass to ask me that!" Whereupon Mr. Wetherell flushed, and began to perspire himself. "Didn't you hear Isaac D. Worthington's virtuous appeal to the people at Brampton?" said Mr. Merrill.
Ferris smiled, for his girl wife was still in Tacoma, by her father's side, and the marriage had been a secret one. The crafty lawyer hated Clayton, at heart, for too well he knew that no word clouding Clayton's character could be uttered unchallenged in Alice Worthington's presence.
You'd better take off those wet shoes and go right up to your room and change the rest of your things immediately. Mandy will make you a hot lemonade. And I want it drunk this time. We won't take any risks from this escapade." We are a household of women, and I have nothing to offer you as dry clothes except those old garments of Mr. Worthington's.
How the gentleman and his other respectable backers were to fight the system the article did not say. Were they to buy up all the mortgages? As a matter of fact, they intended to buy up enough of these to count, but to mention this would be to betray the methods of Mr. Worthington's reform.

But the House accepted Sir WORTHINGTON'S calm and matter-of-fact narration as quietly as if it were the last word in efficiency and coordination.

In half an hour Brampton knew the essentials of Isaac Worthington's story, and Sam Price was on his way with it to Coniston for distribution at Jonah Winch's store. Young Mr. Worthington was from Boston no less; slim, pale, medium height, but with an alert look, and a high-bridged nose. But his clothes! Sam Price's vocabulary was insufficient here, they were cut in such a way, and Mr.
