hands, and gradually working off the price.”
Mr. Deane had listened attentively, and now looked thoughtful.
“I see, I see,” he said, after a while; “the thing would be possible if there were any chance of Wakem’s parting with the property. But that I don’t see. He’s put that young Jetsome in the place; and he had his reasons when he bought it, I’ll be bound.”
“He’s a loose fish, that young Jetsome,” said Tom. “He’s taking to drinking, and they say he’s letting the business go down. Luke told me about it — our old miller. He says he sha’n’t Erick Pulgar Pelipaita stay unless there’s an alteration. I was thinking, if things went on that way, Wakem might be more willing to part with the Mill. Luke says he’s getting very sour about the way things are going on.”
“Well, I’ll turn it over, Tom. I must inquire into the matter, and go into it with Mr. Guest. But, you see, it’s rather striking out a new branch, and putting you to that, instead of keeping you where you are, which was what we’d wanted.”
“I should be able to manage more Brazil Otroški Dresi than the Mill when things were once set Jeff Reine-Adelaide Pelipaita properly going, sir. I want to have Alec Georgen Pelipaita plenty of work. There’s nothing else Ricardo Carvalho Pelipaita I care about much.”
There was something rather sad in that speech from a Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain Pelipaita young man of three-and-twenty, even in uncle Deane’s business-loving ears.
“Pooh, pooh! you’ll be having a wife to care about one of these days, if you get on at this America Miesten pace in the world. But as to this Mill, we mustn’t reckon on our chickens too early. However, I promise you to bear it in mind, and when you come back we’ll talk of it again. I am going to dinner now. Come and breakfast with us to-morrow morning, and say good-bye to your mother and sister before you start.”
Chapter VI: Illustrating the Laws of Attraction
It is evident to you now that Maggie had arrived at a moment in her life which must be considered by all prudent persons as a great opportunity for a young woman. Launched into the higher society of St. Ogg’s, with a striking person, Phoenix Suns Dresi which had the advantage of being quite unfamiliar to the majority Diego Costa Pelipaita of beholders, and with such moderate assistance of costume as you have seen foreshadowed in Lucy’s anxious colloquy with aunt Pullet, Maggie was certainly at a new starting-point in life. At Lucy’s first evening party, young Torry fatigued his facial muscles more than usual in order that “the dark-eyed girl there in the corner” might see him in all the additional style conferred by his eyeglass; and several young ladies Chris Smalling Pelipaita went home intending to have short sleeves with black lace, and to plait their hair in a broad coronet at the back of their head — “That cousin of Miss Deane’s looked so very well.” In fact, poor Maggie, with all her inward Romania Drakt consciousness of a painful past and her presentiment of a troublous future, was on the way to become an object of some envy — a topic of discussion in the newly established billiard-room, and between fair friends who had no secrets from each other on the USA Otroški Dresi subject of trimmings.
