He communicated the news of the marriage to Doctor Yardley in a very civilly-worded note, which left a fair opening for a settlement of all difficulties, had the latter been so pleased. The latter did not so please, however, but exploded in a terrible burst of passion, which almost carried him off in a fit of apoplexy.
"I suppose everything's all right, doctor?" "Yes," said he casually. "He'll feel mighty queer for a few days. That's all." "Then there's no danger?" "Certainly not." "But he thinks he's dying." Dr. Yardley smiled carelessly. "And do you?... He's no more dying than I am. That's only the effect of the shock. Didn't I tell you this morning?
In addition to the quaint low house of clapboards and old ship-timber, with its sloping roof and little toy windows, so unlike his own at Yardley, and smoked ceilings, there was a scrap heap piled up and scattered over the yard which in itself was a veritable treasure-house. Here were rusty chains and wooden figure-heads of broken-nosed, blind maidens and tailless dolphins.
We've had this big automobile party, and I thought my reckoning with her would keep. I heard about what had happened at your place from the man who brought us fruit." "Mrs. Yardley, you've seen this woman's face?" "Yes, I've seen her." "Describe it more particularly." "I can't. She has brown hair, brown eyes and a skin as white as milk; but that don't describe her. Lots of women have all that."
She was now prepared to take oath that she had not for one moment been really anxious about Louis. Her demeanour, as she stated the case to the doctor, was a masterpiece of tranquil unconcern. Dr. Yardley said that he was in a hurry that, in fact, he ought to have been quite elsewhere at the time.
I've no objection to speaking to Yardley or any other man on their behalf, but I'm hanged if I'll be regarded as their representative. They'll make a strike-leader of me next." "Well, they're simmering," Ashcott said, as he prepared to depart. "They'll boil over before long. If they don't find a responsible representative they'll probably run amuck and get up to mischief."
Yardley reached England in October; and the king, when informed of Wyatt's desire to resign the government of Virginia on account of his private affairs, issued a commission, dated April 16, 1626, renewing the authority of the council in Virginia and appointing Yardley governor. The latter returned to Virginia, but died in 1627.
His eyes were still closed. After a few seconds, he said, without stirring "I've not yet passed away. I can see you." She responded with a little laugh, somewhat forced. After an insupportable delay Mrs. Tams reappeared, out of breath. Dr. Yardley had just gone out, but he was expected back very soon and would then be sent down instantly. Mrs.
He had a good deal of feeling in connection with his parents, and his brothers and sisters; but, as it is our aim to conceal nothing which ought to be revealed, we must add there was still another who filled his thoughts more than all the rest united. This person was Bridget Yardley, the only child of his father's most formidable professional competitor.
Yardley to come at once?" "I'm off," said he. "What a good thing I wasn't in bed!" "What a good thing you're here at all!" Rachel murmured, suddenly smiling. He was waiting anxiously for her to leave the room again. But instead of leaving it she came to the fireplace and looked behind the screen. He trembled. "Oh! That kettle is there! I thought it must be!" And picked it up.
