Codey caught the disease, the firm dissolved, and he went off to the land of gold. Mr. Quayle soon after associated himself with Luther Moses, with whom he did business for about two years, during which time they did an almost incredible amount of business, considering the short space of time, having from six to seven vessels on the stocks at once, and turning out two sets a year.
"You you don't hate women, then?" Honoria said, still slowly. Richard stared at her for a moment. "Hate them?" he said. "I only wish to goodness I did." "But in that case," she began bravely, "why " "This is why," he broke in. "You may remember my engagement to Lady Constance Quayle, and the part you, very properly, took in the canceling of it?
Katherine said, greatly perplexed. "The whole affair is at an end. Lady Constance Quayle is not going to marry me, and I am not going to marry Lady Constance Quayle. On that point at least she and I are entirely at one. All London will know this to-morrow. Perhaps Brockhurst, in the interest of its endangered philosophy, had better know it to-night."
LAST summer I happened to be crossing the plains of Iowa in a season of intense heat, and it was my good fortune to have for a traveling companion James Quayle Burden Jim Burden, as we still call him in the West. He and I are old friends we grew up together in the same Nebraska town and we had much to say to each other.
Quayle made a deprecating gesture, put his hands over his ears, and again gently shook his head, intimating that no person possessed either of nerves or self-respect could be expected to carry on a conversation under existing conditions. Lady Louisa desisted.
"You know, papa, there must be deformed people in some families, just as there is consumption or insanity." "Or under-breeding, or attenuated salaries," Mr. Quayle softly murmured. "It becomes evident, my dear father, you must not expect too much of sons, or I of brothers-in-law."
Thus, in the end, it happened that the family council consisted only of the lady of the house, her sister Lady Alicia Winterbotham, Mr. Ludovic Quayle, and the parent whom all three of them were, each in their several ways, so perfectly willing to instruct in his duty towards his children. Ludovic, perhaps, displayed less alacrity than usual in offering good advice to his father.
Besides he supposed she was half engaged to Ludovic Quayle. Dickie yawned. He was sleepy. His meditations became unprofitable. He had best go to bed. "And the devil fly away with all women, saving and excepting my well beloved mother," he said. It was still very sultry. All the windows of the red drawing-room stood wide open.
The incident passed and was apparently forgotten. The herd started north on the trail on the twenty-fifth of March, Quayle stayed on at Las Palomas, and we resumed our regular spring work on the ranch. While gathering the mares and fillies, we had cut out all the geldings four years old and upward to the number of nearly two hundred, and now our usual routine of horse breaking commenced.
Never mind, auntie, I shall not be going so very often now, and in proof thereof permit me to introduce myself in my future style and character Miss Glory Quayle, the eminent social entertainer! You don't know what that is, dear people? It is quite simple and innocent, nevertheless. I am to go to the houses of smart people when they give their grand parties and sing and recite, and so forth.
