Tom was glad that the last evidences of the stolen bacon sandwiches had disappeared down his throat. He stood waiting for Mr. Beecham to speak and wondering if he was to be invited for breakfast. "Will you come with me, please?" asked Mr. Beecham. They passed through a corridor, and into the big entrance hall, where logs were blazing In a fireplace. "In these days," continued Mr.
"Yes, you are young, but some people's age cannot be reckoned by years. I am glad to see you have developed a certain amount of half-real and half-assumed youthfulness lately, but when the novelty of your present life wears away, your old mature nature will be there, so it is of no use feigning childishness. Harold Beecham is not given to speech action with him is the same thing.
Beecham turned to her household duties. Miss Marjorie and Tom were alone, standing before the blazing fire in the hall. There was still that disconcerting twinkle of amusement in her eyes. "I suppose I do look funny," he said, glancing down at his clothes. "It's not kind of me to laugh," she replied. "Were you very wet!" "As wet as one person can possibly be.
After this favourable start, the process went on for many years by which a young man from Homerton was then developed into the influential and highly esteemed pastor of an important flock. Things may be, and probably are, differently managed now-a-days. Mr. Beecham had unbounded fluency and an unctuous manner of treating his subjects. It was eloquence of a kind, though not of an elevated kind.
Miss Beecham entertained me with conversation and the family albums, and Harold amused himself entirely with the child. Once when they were absent for a few minutes, Miss Beecham told me it was ridiculous the way he fussed with the child, and that he had her with him more than half his time. She also asked me what I thought of her nephew.
I regret your decision, but trust I have sufficient manhood to prevent me from thrusting myself upon any lady, much less you. Your sincere friend, Harold Augustus Beecham. He did not demand a reason for my decision, but accepted it unquestionably. As I read his words he grew near to me, as in the days gone by.
Beecham believed himself to make every Sunday to the world in general, been literally given. It would have been extremely embarrassing to the Managing Committee and all the office-bearers, and would have, I fear, deeply exasperated and offended the occupants of those family pews; but fortunately this difficulty never did occur.
Beecham escorted him to a room upstairs, where, with the aid of another negro servant, they found clothes to replace the wet things he was wearing. They left him to wash and dress. "We will have breakfast just as soon as you are ready," said Mr. Beecham as he closed the door. Tom wondered if all these negroes were slaves. He had seen an occasional negro in the North, but of course they were freed.
"Tell me about your home," she asked. He gave a rather sketchy description of his imaginary home in Fleming County, Kentucky a none too convincing description. Then he tried to change the subject by asking her if she had always lived with the Beechams. "No not always," she answered. "Is Fleming Cou...." "And is your name Beecham?" he interrupted, anxious to avoid the subject of Fleming County.
I ran to bring a hammer to repair the damage. Mr Beecham caught the horse while I attempted to drive the nail into the fence. It was a futile attempt. I bruised my fingers. He took the hammer from me, and fixing the paling in its place with a couple of well-aimed blows, said laughingly: "You drive a nail! You couldn't expect to do anything. You're only a girl.
