"You don't know what trouble poor William has with this suit," she said to her brother. "I am sometimes afraid it will make him sick. It does seem very strange, that Mr. Stanley's executors should be so obstinate in refusing to acknowledge his son. At first it was natural they should hesitate; I mistrusted this sailor at first, myself; but now that William has made everything so clear, they cannot have any excuse for their conduct."
Charlie whipped the flies from his horse, without answering this remark.
"I hope William will come home to-night. He and Mr. Stanley have gone off together, to get possession of some very important papers; they received a letter offering these papers, only the night before last, and William says they will establish Mr. Stanley's claim, beyond the possibility of a denial. Mr. Wyllys and Mr. Hazlehurst will feel very badly, I should think, when they find that after all, they have been keeping their friend's son from his rights."
"They believe they are doing their duty," said Charlie, laconically.
"It seems a strange view of duty, to act as they do."
"Strange views of duty are very common," said Charlie, glad to take refuge in generalities.
"Common sense and common honesty will help us all to do our duty," observed Kate.
"No doubt; but both are more uncommon qualities than one would think, among rational beings," said Charlie.
