"You'll have a warm day of it at the mill, Hugh," said Fleda, by way of saying something to break the dismal monotony of knives and forks. "Does that mill make much?" suddenly inquired Charlton. "It has made a new bridge to the brook, literally," said Fleda gayly; "for it has sawn out the boards; and you know you mustn't speak evil of what carries you over the water."
"He is not my height by half an inch," said Charlton; "I am just six feet without my boots." "An excellent height!" said Fleda, "'your six feet was ever the only height." "Who said that?" said Charlton. "Isn't it enough that I say it?" "What's he staying here for?" "I don't know really," said Fleda. "It's very difficult to tell what people do things for." "Have you seen much of him?" said Mrs.
"Why then the best way, ladies," cried Morrice, with the look of a man happy in vanquishing all difficulties, "will be for Mrs Charlton, and that poor lady with the bruises, to go together in that sound chaise, and then for us gentlemen to escort this young lady and Miss Beverley on foot, till we all come to the next inn.
But it is better to wait a year or even two years in this jail than to go to prison for fifteen or twenty. Fifteen or twenty years out of the life of a young man is about all there is worth the having." Here Charlton shuddered, and Mr. Conger was pleased to see that his words took effect. "You'd better make up your mind that the case is a bad one, and trust to my experience.
MISSING Since Thursday, November 14 John F. McCormack; when last seen he was on board the steam-tug Yankee, at the foot of Charlton street; age twenty-four years, eyes and hair dark brown, height five feet four inches, heavy eyebrows. He was dressed in a brown sack coat and brown vest, black pants, flat-crowned black hat.
"I am glad now," said Fleda. "I wasn't glad before." "I am very glad," said Hugh. "I think you will like it. We didn't know you were coming till two or three days ago when Charlton got here. Do you like to take walks?" "Yes, very much."
He liked his new doctor so well that he liked everything he said and did. Jane looked at Charlton in her friendliest way. Here might be an ally, and a valuable ally. "Human nature doesn't change," said Hastings in the tone of a man who is stating that which cannot be disputed. "The mischief it doesn't," said Charlton in prompt and vigorous dissent.
"But we can't stay here, Henry," faltered Mrs. Gribble. "Not with all that money. They are building some beautiful houses in Charlton Grove now bathroom, tiled hearths, and beautiful stained glass in the front door; and all for twenty-eight pounds a year." "Wonderful!" said the other, with a mocking glint in his eye.
He admitted Davy was to be the next mayor. If he is and I expect Charlton was about right if Davy is elected, I shouldn't be surprised to see him nominated for governor next year. He's a sensible, knowing fellow. He'll make a good mayor, and he'll be elected governor on his record." "And on what you and the other men who run things will do for him," suggested Jane slyly.
"Don't excuse you," said Charlton; but his eye catching at the moment another attraction opposite in the form of man or woman, instead of quitting the room, he leisurely crossed it to speak to the new-comer; and Thorn, with an entire change of look and manner, pressed forward, and offered his arm to Fleda, who was looking perfectly white.
