There was a ring of the old-time haughty independence in her voice; Octavius rejoiced to hear it. "She's getting a grip on herself," he said to himself; "I hope she'll give her one 'fore she gets through with her."
She spoke with cutting sarcasm: "What amount, may I inquire, do you deem necessary for the present to insure prospective freedom for your son?"

But he did not intend to be "downed," as he said to himself, "not this time by Almeda Champney." He continued undaunted: "I do know what he meant better'n anybody living, and I know what he was going to do for the boy; and I know, too, Mrs.
