She remembered Sue with a tender constancy when she could no longer openly approach her without hurting more than she helped; and before the day of the assignee's sale came, she thought out a scheme which Wade carried into effect with Putney's help.
But the Lord always finds some odd jobs to look after next day, and I guess He didn't clear 'em all up at Bunker's Hill." Putney's irony and piety were very much of a piece apparently, and Annie was not quite sure which this conclusion was. She glanced at his wife, who seemed satisfied with it in either case.
They remembered that the last evening he was with them, their father had spoken leniently of Putney's infirmity, and admiringly of his wasted ability. Now each step they took was at his suggestion.
Putney's infirmity, and that it was cruel to put temptation in his way. Everybody knows that he can't resist it, and that he is making such a hard fight to keep out of it. And then, if you press me for an opinion, I must say that you were not justifiable in asking Mr. Peck to take part in a social entertainment when we had explicitly dropped that part of the affair." Mrs.
Adeline was not afraid of the dark on the road or in the lonely village-streets; but when she rang at the lawyer Putney's door, her heart beat so with fright that it seemed as if it must jump out of her mouth. She came to him because she had always heard that, in spite of his sprees, he was the smartest lawyer in Hatboro'; and she believed that he could protect their rights if any one could.
She stopped, and Dr. Morrell did not answer at once. Then he said seriously: "It's a continual fight with a man of Putney's temperament, and sometimes he gets beaten.

Putney had a great deal to do with it himself. What does he think Mr. Peck's chances are?" "If Mr. Gerrish tries to get him dismissed? He doesn't know; he's quite in the dark.

"We expect to furnish coffee at cost price," said Mrs. Munger, smiling at Putney's joke. "And good navy-plug too, I hope. But you see it would be rather awkward, don't you? You see, Annie?" "Yes, I see," said Annie.
