"Your friends are holding high carnival, and I wonder not that you long to be with them, 'stead of carrying vain messages in a lost cause. But for this damned floe of ice you 'd have had your wish this very night." A hundred rods brought the rider within sight of the cross-road at Yardley's Ferry, just as a second horseman issued from it.
Should Miss Gossaway have been sitting at her lookout some weeks after Martha's interview with Captain Nat Holt, and should she have watched the movements of Doctor John's gig as it rounded into the open gate of Cobden Manor, she must have decided that something out of the common was either happening or about to happen inside Yardley's hospitable doors.
I am going to live with Judge Ostrander, Mrs. Yardley; keep house for him, myself and daughter. His man is dead and he feels very helpless. I hope that I shall be able to make him comfortable." Mrs. Yardley's face was a study. In all her life she had never heard news that surprised her more. In fact, she was mentally aghast.
Yardley remarked: "It's a good thing for you and a very good thing for the judge. It may shake him out of his habit of seclusion. If it does, you will be the city's benefactor. Good luck to you, madam. And you have a daughter, you say?" After Mrs. Yardley's departure, Mrs. Scoville, as she now expected herself to be called, sat for a long time brooding.
Only this very day ... if it hadn't been for the fog ... Dave would have got the last halfpenny out of his rabbit to buy a sugar-basin on the stall in the road ... and he's saving it for a surprise for Dolly ... when the fog goes...." "Is Susan Burr upstairs with them?" "No she's gone out to Yardley's for some thread. She's all right. She's walking a lot better."
Yardley's cold eyes gleamed with icy humour. "Et tu, Brute!" he said with sneering lips. "I wish you joy!" He passed on. Saltash's arm went round Juliet like a coiled spring. He impelled her unresisting to the door. Her hand rested on his shoulder as she stepped down from the platform. She went with him as one in a dream.
And since the people of America love nothing better than being startled, Yardley's Weekly had acquired a circulation truly fabulous. The emissary of the paper had attended several of the Citizens meetings; interviewed, it seemed, many persons: the result was a revelation to make the blood of politicians, capitalists and corporation lawyers run cold.
You can answer him, and the newspapers will print your speeches in full. Besides it will help you when it comes to the senatorship." The mood of extreme dejection that had followed the appearance of the article in Yardley's did not last.
His drag, moreover, as it whirled into Yardley's gate, gave a certain air of eclat to the Manor House that it had not known since the days of the old colonel. Nothing was lacking that money and taste could furnish.
Whether or not as the result of the article in Yardley's, which had been read more or less widely in the city, the campaign of the Citizens Union gained ground, and people began to fill the little halls to hear Krebs, who was a candidate for district attorney. Evidently he was entertaining and rousing them, for his reputation spread, and some of the larger halls were hired.
