It was as pleasant a day for drive as could possibly be; and yet Daisy's face was more intent upon her pony's ears than upon any other visible thing. She drove on towards Crum Elbow, but before she reached it she turned another corner, and drew up before Juanita's house. It was not the first visit she had made here since going home; though Daisy had in truth not come often nor stayed long.
The aristocracy had already in the main adopted the 'jumping-Jesus' principle; though here and there one like Crum who was an 'honourable' stood starkly languid for that gambler's Nirvana which had been the summum bonum of the old 'dandies' and of 'the mashers' in the eighties. And round Crum were still gathered a forlorn hope of blue-bloods with a plutocratic following.
Crum having been dispatched on Monday, the return of the post might be looked for on Wednesday afternoon at Ham Farm. Sir Patrick and Arnold held more than one private consultation, during the interval, on the delicate and difficult subject of admitting Blanche to a knowledge of what had happened. The wise elder advised and the inexperienced junior listened.
He took out his new gold 'hunter' present from James and looked not at the time, but at sections of his face in the glittering back of its opened case. He had a temporary spot over one eyebrow, and it displeased him, for it must have displeased her. Crum never had any spots. Together with Crum rose the scene in the promenade of the Pandemonium.
One night he and the Castleton medium fell talking about Jenny Crum, the witch of Kinder Scout, and her Easter Eve performances. The medium bet 'Lias a handsome sum that he would not dare face her.

"Can you bear it, Daisy?" She looked up meekly, and answered, "Yes, Dr. Sandford." So meekly that the doctor's eye took special note of her. "Have you been to Crum Elbow to-day?" "Yes, sir. I got all the things." "All of them?" "Yes, sir." "What reward shall I give you?" She had been speaking with a sad meekness, a sober self- restraint, unlike her years. If Dr.
On rising to leave the room she was seized with giddiness, and with some sudden pang of pain, which turned her deadly pale and forced her to drop back into her chair. Mr. Crum had no wife; but he possessed a housekeeper and he offered to send for her. The lady made a sign in the negative. She drank a little water, and conquered the pain. "I am sorry to have alarmed you," she said.
If Crum had been beside him at that moment, he would certainly have been jostled off the pavement. His own father his own! A choke came up in his throat, and he dashed his hands down deep into his overcoat pockets. Damn Crum!
A while after, take a good lump of Houshold-bread, bigger than your fist, crust and crum, broil it upon a Gridiron, that it be throughly rosted; scrape off the black burning on the on side; then soak it throughly in Vinegar, and put this lump of tost into your possnet to stew with it; which you take out and throw away after a while.
That means 'highly unsatisfactory, or words to that effect. Hi! Here's where the old man loses his temper. Listen: 'May the devil take Carroll and Crum for careless' h'm well, 'pig-dogs. Now, where do Carroll and Crum come in?" "They're a firm of analytical chemists in Washington," said the captain. "When I was on the ordnance board I used to get their circulars." "Fits in. What?
