Harry Muir : $b A story of Scottish life, vol. 1 (of 3)
Oliphant, Mrs. (Margaret)
Scotland -- Fiction
Rose drew back a little. There was something unusual, it seemed, in
Cuthbert’s pronunciation of her pretty name, for it made her blush; and
by a strange sympathy Mr. Charteris blushed too.
“When shall we start? for I suppose you will go with me to Edinburgh,”
continued Charteris.
Harry hesitated a moment. “I must go down to the office to-morrow,”
he said, with his joyous face unclouded. “Your cousin Dick and I had
something which I thought a quarrel. It was nothing but a few angry
words after all. I will go down to-morrow.”
Harry had entirely forgotten how angry he was--entirely forgotten the
insulting things Dick Buchanan said, and what a humiliation he had felt
it would be, to enter that office again. Poor Harry was humble now. He
had such a happy ease of forgetting, that he did not feel it necessary
to forgive. Bright, sanguine, overflowing with generous emotions, Harry
in his new wealth and happiness that night could not remember that
there was any one in the world other than a friend.
