He sent his own boys to school there, admired Trenholme's enthusiastic devotion to his work, and believed as firmly as the Principal himself that the school would become a great university. It was important to Trenholme that this man that any man of influence, should believe in him, in his college, and in the great future of both.
As he grew to believe in the youth's sincerity, Trenholme thought he perceived that, although he had asked what would be the probable direction of the enthusiast's wanderings, the dentist was really stricken with doubt as to whether the prediction might not possibly be correct, and longed chiefly to know Trenholme's mind on that important matter.
He had won it honourably, and he cherished it merely as the greatest of his earthly goods, which he believed he held in due subordination to more heavenly benefits. Those lives are no doubt the most peaceful in which self-interest and duty coalesce, and Trenholme's life at this period was like a fine cord, composed of these two strands twisted together with exquisite equality.
The answer to this consisted in threats thrown out at any man who took upon himself to criticise his brother. "And now, when I tell ye I'm thinking he's in the right of it, ye're vexed again. Now, I'll tell ye: ye don't like to think the Rev. Mr. Trenholme's in the right, for that puts ye in the wrong; but ye don't like me to think he's in the wrong, because he's your brother.
Trenholme's baritone was strong and tuneful for the Muses, if kind, are often lavish of their gifts so the final refrain of an impassioned love song traveled far that placid morning. Thus, when he reached the iron gates, he found the Roxton policeman standing there, grinning. "Hello!" said the artist cheerily. Of course he knew the policeman.
Trenholme's face lit with gratitude because of her ready tact. He was sorely impelled to leave matters on their present footing, but whipped himself to the final stage. "There is worse to come," he said miserably. "Goodness me! What else can there be?" "Mr Furneaux has asked me ordered me, in fact to meet you by the side of the lake tomorrow morning at a quarter past nine and bring the drawings.
After waiting till the last church-going gig had passed on the road and the bells had stopped, she went into the college grounds by a back way, and on to the front of Trenholme's house. As was common in the place, the front door yielded when the handle was turned. Eliza had no wish to summon the housekeeper. She stood in the inner hall and listened, that she might hear what rooms had inmates.
She was a little mortified to find that he saw the full force of the suggestion. "Yes, I suppose your mother'll be looking for you." They both explained, merely to set him right, that this would not be the case, as they had started to Principal Trenholme's picnic.
At the same time she pushed the creasy yellow cover of cream to the farther side, with a watchful glance at Trenholme's saucer, evidently meaning that it was kept for him. She and the elder boy and girl waited to sup till the little ones had finished. Trenholme endeavoured to say that he should not want any more cream, but she did not understand his words.
Then for some reason the mischief of idleness, perhaps Sophia thought of Trenholme's young brother how he had looked when he spoke to her over the fence. She rose to move away from such silly thoughts. Dottie possessed herself of two fingers and pulled hard toward the river.
