The train had just left Marston\u003cbr\u003estation, and two young men stood on the platform surveying with very\u003cbr\u003edifferent eyes the stretch of country landscape lying before them. Frank\u003cbr\u003eEtheridge wore an eager aspect, the aspect of the bright, hopeful,\u003cbr\u003eenergetic lawyer which he was, and his quick searching gaze flashed\u003cbr\u003erapidly from point to point as if in one of the scattered homes within\u003cbr\u003ehis view he sought an answer to some problem at present agitating his\u003cbr\u003emind. He was a stranger in Marston.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHis companion, Edgar Sellick, wore a quieter air, or at least one more\u003cbr\u003erestrained. He was a native of the place, and was returning to it after\u003cbr\u003ea short and fruitless absence in the west, to resume his career of\u003cbr\u003ephysician amid the scenes of his earliest associations. Both were tall,\u003cbr\u003ewell-made, and handsome, and, to draw at once a distinction between them\u003cbr\u003ewhich will effectually separate their personalities, Frank Etheridge was\u003cbr\u003ea man to attract the attention of men, and Edgar Sellick that of women;\u003cbr\u003ethe former betraying at first glance all his good qualities in the\u003cbr\u003ekeenness of his eye and the frankness of his smile, and the latter\u003cbr\u003ehiding his best impulses under an air of cynicism so allied to\u003cbr\u003emelancholy that imagination was allowed free play in his behalf. They\u003cbr\u003ehad attended the same college and had met on the train by chance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"I am expecting old Jerry, with a buggy,\" announced Edgar, looking\u003cbr\u003eindifferently down the road. The train was on time but Jerry was not,\u003cbr\u003eboth of which facts were to be expected. \"Ah, here he comes. You will\u003cbr\u003eride to the tavern with me?\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"With pleasure,\" was Frank's cheerful reply; \"but what will you do with\u003cbr\u003eJerry? He's a mile too large, as you see yourself, to be a third party\u003cbr\u003ein a buggy ride.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"No doubt about that, but Jerry can walk; it will help to rob him of a\u003cbr\u003elittle of his avoirdupois. As his future physician I shall prescribe it.\u003cbr\u003eI cannot have you miss the supper I have telegraphed for at Henly's.\"","brand":"SAP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47175564689648,"sku":"2940012773388","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940012773388_p0.jpg?v=1763572556","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940012773388","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
