Milly laughed, for she had heard of Jim's plans, and of the various objects which were to be benefited by the "peanut-undertaking;" and, as frequent new claims and claimants appeared to share in the profits, she argued that the proportion of each would be small. "Jim," she said, "I think I would not undertake to help the Yorkes as well as all the other people you have upon your list.
Roland, taking no time for consideration he very rarely did take it, or any of the Yorkes burst forth with the grievance to the dean. Not that Roland was one who cared much about justice or injustice in the abstract; but he was feeling excessively wroth with Gerald, and in a humour to espouse Tom Channing's cause against the world. "The college boys are in a state of semi-rebellion, Mr.
I recognize the strength, the North-country virtue of "grit" in such independence and sturdiness as that of the Yorkes in "Shirley," but the willing and reasonable obedience of a strong nature seems to me still higher it is a nobler attitude of mind to feel, "I don't care whether I get my own way in this or that, or am my own master; I want to be in touch with the larger, higher life around me," that larger life of moral growth into which only a humble, teachable nature can enter.
"We are all miserable sinners," he replied. "Have you seen the Yorkes lately?" "No; but I'll be bound you have." "What do you think of the story about old Lancaster?" "Oh, I think she'll marry him if mamma can arrange it." "'Children, obey your parents," quoted Mr. Rimmon, with a little smirk as he sidled away. "He is one of our rising young clergymen, nephew of the noted Dr.
Next came two girls, Caroline and Fanny, and there were two little boys still younger. Haughty, self-willed, but of sufficiently honourable nature, were the Yorkes. If Lady Augusta had only toiled to foster the good, and eradicate the evil, they would have grown up to bless her.
"And, besides the letter and marriage certificate which were in her possession, making good her pretensions, she had an honest face, and appeared respectable, far too much so for the wife of such a scallywag as old Yorke's son is said to have been." "If the Yorkes allow her claim, and take in this numerous family, it will interfere with your plans for Mrs. Yorke, uncle," I said.
Yorke's fit-to-be-seenedness," said Allie, hopping delightedly around on one foot, the day after the arrival of the Yorkes, and on her return from her first visit to them. "Why, she does look so nice; just as nice as mammy in her Sunday clothes. She looks almost lady." "Yes, she does, and it don't make any dif'ence, if she behaves lady," said Daisy; "and I fink she always behaves very lady.
But the two good Samaritans, as they afterwards reported, were not so appalled by the state of things at the Yorkes' cottage, as Mr. Winston's tale had prepared them to be. Perhaps matters had improved since he had left two hours since, or the stricken family had at once accommodated themselves to the change in their circumstances.
He had promised provisionally to go back and take supper with the old clergyman, and had only not promised it absolutely because he had thought he might be invited to the Yorkes'. He was glad enough now to go, and as he received the old gentleman's cordial greeting, he felt his heart grow warm again. Here was Sparta, too. This, at least, was hospitality.
All this was the usual scramble of Sunday morning. The Yorkes did get to college, somehow, and there was an end of it. After the conclusion of the service, as the congregation were dispersing, Mr. Galloway came up to Arthur Channing in the cloisters, and drew him aside. "Do you recollect taking the letters to the post, on Friday afternoon?" he inquired.
