She actually told me that we ought to move, as no good class of patients would ever come to Galvaston Terrace. It was just like her impudence eh, Livy?" "Oh, Marcus, I am so sorry," and Olivia put down her work and looked at him sympathetically. "I thought something had annoyed you the moment you came in. It is too bad of Mrs. Tolman always to tread upon people's corns in this fashion.
The sun rose on them when, a mile up the road, they came in sight of the Northern Hunt Club. It shone ruddily on the bare oaks and the columned porticos, and the white stables and kennels in the rear. Jim never saw the place without a touch of grave reminiscence. Here used to come old Doctor Tolman from New York, to attend the field trials and to hunt, and Jim had been his hunting companion.
P. Glascow was in no hurry at all, and was very glad to have some quiet reading by a warm fire; and so Mr. Tolman left him, feeling perfectly confident that a man who had been allowed by the old lady to renew a book nine times must be perfectly trustworthy. When Mr. Tolman returned, the two had some further conversation in the corner by the little stove.
Glascow's gentlemanly conduct in the matter, her countenance instantly changed. "Not at all," said she, laying down the book. "I will not break up his study. I will take the `Evelina' if you please." And as no persuasion from Mr. Tolman had any effect upon her, she went away with Mrs. Burney's novel in her muff. "Now, then," said Mr.

He had spent many happy hours in that shop, and his hours there were now becoming pleasanter than ever. If Mr. Tolman went away, all this must end.

Dave and Dan came along, then Tom, Harry and Greg. Tolman and a few other fellows hurried up. "You might tell us all about that business, now," suggested Tolman.
We had agreed the day before to vote for Tolman for our class, so when the president announced nominations were in order for the freshmen class, Tolman was instantly nominated. At the same time one of the leading sophomores jumped up and nominated Mr. Davis, and a number of men from the same class seconded it.
"Why can we?" "For the simplest reason in the world, Tolman. We've got to. Isn't that a fine reason?" "It sounds fine," remarked another boy doubtfully. "But can you whip another crowd just because you want to?" "If you want to badly enough," Dick smiled. "Hm! I'll be surer about that when I see it done."
