"Oh, you always get a row if you drag in politics," Mr. Hawtrey said. "I don't know," said Sir John. "That was a put-up job between Hitchin and Grainger."

"Hardly one of Hitchin's workpeople is a Wyck man.
Rarely this relation was reversed, and the lower pair was higher than the middle pair, the door at Number 6504 Germantown Avenue being an example. As found in the farmhouses of Germantown and thereabouts, notably Wyck, Glen Fern, the Green Tree Inn and the Johnson and Billmeyer houses, these six-panel doors were split horizontally through the lock rail, dividing them into an upper and lower part.
So that was Corbett's idea: to sit in his armchair and bag all the prestige, while he, Waddington of Wyck, ran round and did the work. "Not in this case. In these small local affairs you can't delegate business. Everything depends on the personal activity of the president." "The deuce it does. How do you mean?" "I mean this. If Sir John Corbett asks for a subscription he gets it.
"Jerry is out of my hands, Miss Van Wyck," I managed coolly. "And in mine?" "Yes, in yours," after a pause. She laughed softly. "What do you suppose I'm going to do with him?" The glamour of youth in a garden, her rare humor and the cloudless day I had managed well so far, but she pressed me hard. Jerry was no chattel to be bandied carelessly. I felt my body stiffening.

This great brick-paved room wainscoted to the ceiling, with a fireplace across the right-hand corner, reflects the hall of the English manor house, which was a gathering place for the family and for the reception of guests, as instanced by the reception tendered to LaFayette in the great hall at Wyck on July 20, 1825.
"I see the cat catch the rat." Li Wan nodded her head seriously. They were beginning to understand her at last, these women. The blood flushed darkly under her bronze at the thought, and she smiled and nodded her head still more vigorously. Mrs. Van Wyck turned to her companion. "Received a smattering of mission education somewhere, I fancy, and has come to show it off."

"No. But it's just as dull and stuffy. Stuffier." "Beautiful little town, Elise." "What's the good of that when it's crammed full of school children and school teachers, and decayed army people and old maids?
"Had he been with some other gentlemen during the evening?" "No, sir. 'E 'ad been callin' on a lady, but stopped at 'is club on the way around " "What lady?" "You may speak freely, Christopher. Miss Van Wyck?" "I I think so, sir. They 'ad an appointment." "I see. And did he drink again that night?" "A few brandies yes, sir. Ye see, sir, it got to him quick-like breakin' training so suddent."
Wyck, consisting as it does of two buildings joined together, probably has the most heterogeneous fenestration of any house in Philadelphia. On the first floor are windows having nine-paned lower and six-paned upper sashes, while on the second story are windows having twelve-paned lower and eight-paned upper sashes and others having six-paned upper and lower sashes.
