The note of anxiety in the query was not overlooked by the rancher, but he answered indifferently to all appearances: "Shore thing, wife. Could any one forget such a nice girl in a hurry?" "Well, Sam, the letter's from her Anne Stewart is her name." "Don't tell him what! Let me read it, Maw!" cried Polly. So the letter was read again and the moment it was concluded Polly and Mrs.
Instinctively he had become suspicious, and the more he considered the letter's contents, the more suspicious he became. "Do you recognize your father's handwriting, Hiram?" asked Clancy. "Well, hardly," was the grinning response. "Dad got lost in the shuffle almost before I'd cut my teeth. I'm not familiar with his handwritin'. Did you read what he says about bein' well off? Gosh!
"We must try all means," replied Jeanie; "but writing winna do it a letter canna look, and pray, and beg, and beseech, as the human voice can do to the human heart. A letter's like the music that the ladies have for their spinets naething but black scores, compared to the same tune played or sung. It's word of mouth maun do it, or naething, Reuben."
At last it came to be this letter's turn, and the Major broke a seal with 'Fairoaks' engraved upon it, and 'Clavering St. Mary's' for a postmark. It was a double letter, and the Major commenced perusing the envelope before he attacked the inner epistle. "Is it a letter from another Jook," growled Mr. Glowry, inwardly, "Pendennis would not be leaving that to the last, I'm thinking."
"I'll do what I can, believe me!" he assured her grimly. "Yes, sir, she's thirty-two! By the way, Fanny, this letter's already a month old. Why haven't I had it before?" "You told them to hold only the office mail while you were travelling, you know," Mrs. Fox reminded him. "That one evidently has been following you. Anthony, can Tony marry without your consent?"
But as he got cooler, that did not seem to him a project worthy of a gentleman exactly. Was it possible for a gentleman to get even with such a fellow as that conductor on the letter's own plane? And when he came to this point, he began to ask himself, if he had not acted very much like a fool. He didn't regret striking the fellow he hoped he had left a mark on him.
Thus Ferrante of the man whose friendship he had been seeking some six weeks earlier, and who had rejected his advances. It is as well to know the precise conditions under which that letter was indited, for extracts from it are too often quoted against Alexander. These conditions known, and known the man who wrote it, the letter's proper value is at once apparent.
As for that letter of hers it burnt him this time to speak of the letter: 'she may write and write! She's weak, thin, a reed; she let her be! Say of her when she plays beast she is absent from Alvan! I can forgive. The letter's nothing; it means nothing except "Thou fool, Alvan, to let me go." Yes, that!
The Chamberlain for the first time relinquished the support of the doorway, and stood upon his legs, but his face was more dejected than ever. "That settles it," said he, filling his chest with air. "I had a small hope that maybe it might have come into your hands without the others seeing it, but that was expecting too much of a Frenchman. And the letter's away with it! My God! Away with it!
No; I got it in my head a letter's the only satisfactory way to do it, and I thought I'd ask you to hand it to him." "Well, of course I don't mind doin' that for you," Lohr said, mildly. "But why in the world don't you just mail it to him?" "Well, I'll tell you," Adams returned. "You know, like that, it'd have to go through a clerk and that secretary of his, and I don't know who all.
