Not illustrated. 1898 Excerpt: ... 'I've seen quite enough of matchmaking. Ena and Morgan Sherburn are fine examples of the beauty and holiness of marriages not made in heaven.' 'Cynic!' said Dudley. 'A cynic is a snarler,' replied Arthur. 'You are complimentary. I am not a cynic, because I don't snarl. To change the subject, which I will renew again at a more favourable time, will you oblige me by putting a tenner on The Slogger for me in the Shipley Hall Plate?' 'What wild extravagance is this?' said Dudley, who loved to chaff Arthur, and make him cheerful and spirited. 'A sovereign is more in your line. Rash youth! I must tell your father of your fast-growing gambling propensities.' 'Tell my father if I lose,' said Arthur--'or, rather, I will do it myself. He will then know what an impoverished condition I am in, and will replenish my exchequer.'. 'What a blessing it is to have a father to draw upon in case of emergency,' replied Dudley. 'Stop chaffing, or I shall leave you,' said Arthur. 'Seriously, will you put me a tenpound note on The Slogger? I can spare that easily out of my allowance. The dear old governor is very good to me,' he added wistfully. 'Take my advice, and have five pounds on Off Chance in the Juvenile Plate, and if he wins, put the lot on The Slogger,' said Dudley. 'Bother Off Chance!' said Arthur. 'I don't like the horse or his name. Let me have a look at him.' Dudley Massie wheeled Arthur to Off Chance's box, and the lad looked the horse over with critical eyes. 'There's a vast improvement in him since the last time I saw him,' said Arthur. 'You do put a polish on them. I'll take your advice. You can put me a fiver on this fellow, and play it up on The Slogger if it comes off.' Such jaunts as these round the stables Arthur Sefton eagerly looked forward to, and always...

"We will have our honeymoon," she had said. There was something unusual in the strain in which the letter was written, something unlike the Carissima. For the first time, she did not ask for money. He knew how she had loved Delizia. Perhaps she was lonely. He would go as soon as he could get away. Then came an unpleasant incident. The Bishop wrote to tell him that a rumour had reached him that there were not enough week-day services. Surely, with the large stipend the Reverend William received, he could keep two curates, if one were not enough and if he were not able to do the work himself. The tone of the letter stung him, but he received it meekly, as he always did reproof. A second curate was out of the question, but he could do more services himself. They weariedhim on account of the continued strain it was to him to concentrate his thoughts, to try to take an interest in what to him was so uninteresting. He often fell asleep now in the afternoon, instead of gardening. He ate less to lessen his expenses, and told Mrs. Poplitt not to light his study fire, knowing full well that Mrs. Poplitt's was alight early and late. He ordered no more delicacies from London, and when the carp died, as they did periodically in the pond, he did not replace them. "It's all along of er," Mrs. Poplitt whispered to Miss Papillon, when that lady had looked in one evening to see how he was, having heard that he was not well; "it do seem crool, it do, and she a-living on the fat o' the land, as you may say. Servants and 'orses and carriages and all." Then came a letter from Delizia. They had returned to L...

"I shall give the necessary instructions as soon as possible," said David. "You can take over the business, or I will, just as you please." Paul Schalk was livid with rage; Ribot's coolness exasperated him. Hardly knowing what he said, he shouted--"You defy me, do you? Well, there's a way of dealing with illicit diamond buyers "He stopped; David Ribot had dropped into his chair in a state of collapse. "Then Schalk knows about that," thought David, and the shock was too much for him. Paul Schalk gloated over him. He made no attempt to assist him. "That was a lucky shot of mine. I wonder what made me think of it? He's been at it, I'll swear; it knocked him completely over. I wonder if he's got any of the stones here? I'll tax him with it, any way; there's no harm in that." David Ribot recovered and looked helplessly around him. His eyes fixed on Schalk: what did he know? K Slowly David recovered his faculties, and as he did so he felt safer, more sure of himself; gradually his determination came back to him to be rid of Schalk at any cost. "So I hit the mark," said Schalk. "A nice little pile of stones you've got hidden away, I'll be bound." David trembled, but his look was firm. "Illicit diamond buying means a long term of imprisonment," said Schalk. "I suppose you are aware of that, my friend?" "You are mistaken; I have never had anything to do with buying diamonds," said David. "A likely story that," sneered Schalk. "When I mentioned that I knew all about it you were bowled over, the shock was too great; you fell into your chair in a fit. It won'...

Not illustrated. 1908 edition. Excerpt: ...violently, and said angrily--"Do you think I would sell my child? You're a worse man than I thought you." "Steady, steady!" said Jacob. "I have not even hinted at such a thing; I am warning you." "Leave it to me to manage my own affairs," growled Jabez. "You're not capable of it. I see what it is--how the land lies." "Oh, do you! Very clever of you," said Jabez. "And therefore I mean to see your daughter, whether you like it or not," went on Jacob. "She's a good girl to stick to you; not one in a hundred would." "I am her father." "And I'm sorry for her," said Jacob. The front door was opened. "That's Milly," said Jabez uneasily. "Not a word about what I am, or what has passed between us now, or at any time," said Jacob hurriedly. "And your name?" "Give my real name. There's no harm in that; it will convey nothing." Milly entered the room, and was about to kiss her father when she saw he had a visitor. "Mr. Todman," said Jabez. "An old friend of mine, dear; he has found me out, you see." Milly eyed Jacob suspiciously. She had a good deal of experience of these old friends of her father's. Jacob held out his hand, which Milly took, then quickly dropped. She thought him a curious looking man, but did not dislike him. "I knew your father in more prosperous days," said Jacob. "I do not care to desert old friends when they fall upon evil times. I hope you do not object to my calling?" No, she did not object; it was kind of him to call. "Your father is not looking well," he said, watching her. Milly's colour rose; at once she became anxious. "He does...

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
