"I think I'll send my card up to him, Jack," I said to Parton, when we had returned to the hotel, "just to ask how he is. Wouldn't you?" "No!" snapped Parton. "But then I'm not you. You can do as you please. Don't let me influence you against him if he's to your taste." "He isn't at all to my taste," I retorted.
He began to cultivate the society of the Arden Foresters, and to be a boy again in earnest. Boating on the picturesque little river was one of the pleasures of Friendship. Jack Parton and his brothers owned a boat, the Mermaid; and Allan now provided himself with one, which he delighted Rosalind by naming for her.
Oh! what should I do without you?" cried Billy, bursting into tears. A manly voice was heard on the outside, speaking to a porter who was passing at the moment. "Can you tell me, pray, whether two boys of the name of Parton live near this place? From the direction which was given me, I think that we must be near their dwelling."
We will not make straight for the Bairds', but will strike the road from Glasgow, some ten or twelve miles north of his place, so that we can come down from that direction. Then our guide, after taking us on to the road, had best take charge of the horses and lead them to Parton, there to remain with them until your messenger, and the one from Yardhope, arrive.
Then the main question was put, and it was carried by another emphatic and simultaneous shout. Mr. Parton thus briefly exposes the system of political black mail practiced in the City government: The plunder of the persons who are so unfortunate as to serve the public, and of those who aspire to serve the public, is systematic, and nearly universal.
He modestly claimed to be only a printer, but who, among the great lights of his age, with the exception of Washington, has left a nobler record? Mr. James Parton has, I think, written the most interesting and exhaustive life of Franklin, although it is not artistic and is full of unimportant digressions. Sparks has collected most of his writings, which are rather dull reading.
"I don't see how you could, though," insisted Parton. "You couldn't reach that part of yourself with a knife, if you tried." "That's just the reason why you should see for yourself that it was caused by my falling on my knife. I had it grasped in my right hand, intending to cut myself a stick, when I slipped.
Parton if she had ever heard Dr. Hollingsworth was not orthodox. Mrs. Parton had not, and seemed to consider it a minor matter, for she went on to tell how pleasant he was, and how fully he appreciated the joke of being taken for a detective by Belle. "I trust, indeed, it is not true," said Mrs. Molesworth, going back to the original question. "Well, I shouldn't worry, Cornelia.
"What are you thinking about, Lottie, that you are smiling so sweetly?" asked her room-mate, Bel Parton. "In truth, it was a sweet thought," said Lottie, her laugh awakening sudden echoes in the still house, and sounding as oddly as a bird's song at night. "I'm glad Frank Hemstead doesn't know. If he did, I should appall instead of fascinating him."
Could Allan but no, she would not let herself think it. She would stay in the Forest, and work and wait, and trust in its beneficent spell. "I like this place, And willingly could waste my time in it." The engagement of Miss Betty Bishop and Dr. Hollingsworth was announced. As Miss Betty said, there was no use in trying to keep it a secret with Mrs. Parton spreading her suspicions abroad.
