His father came back to him, put his hands on his shoulders, and said: "Barry, I want you to go to bed." "Nonsense, dad. I'm all right. I'm going downtown with you." "Barry," said his father, "we have hard times before us, and you must be fit. I ask you to go to bed and sleep there this forenoon. You're half asleep now. This afternoon we shall face up to our job."
Chief among the friends of Calhoun were the Cabinet officers Ingham, Branch, and Berrien. The incumbent of the office of Postmaster-General now for the first time a Cabinet office was William T. Barry of Kentucky. He was the friend of Van Buren, and in the social controversy mentioned, he sided with the President and the Secretary of State as a champion of Mrs. Eaton.
"I was afraid I should be late," he went on, looking at his watch, "but the roads are good. How far do you call it from Elmfield?" "All of five miles," said Mrs. Starling. "Yes; and one hill to cross. Well! I came pretty well. The long June afternoon favoured me." "Mr. Hardenburgh used to drive a buggy," remarked Miss Barry. "Yes. Is that one of the things you would like me to do as he did?"
Only under compulsion of his conscience did Barry go to the cinema show that night, which in this camp was run under the chaplain service and by a chaplain. He knew what the thing would be like. His whole soul shrunk from the silly, melodramatic films which he knew would constitute the programme as from a nauseating dose of medicine.
"I was afraid you wouldn't. Did he give any explanation? What made him go in for the thing at all? What earthly motive could he have for not wanting Barry to get his colours, bar the fact that Rand-Brown didn't want him to? And why should he do what Rand-Brown told him? I never even knew they were pals, before today." "He told me a good deal," said Trevor.
Seems that Barry stopped him from lickin' her once, an' that made Moll foller him around like a dog tryin' to lick his hand. No, sir, she won't be heartbroke if somebody puts a rifle ball between Mart's eyes an' loses it some'eres back inside his skull. She'd do it herself if she wasn't so doggoned sure somebody else is goin' to do it, sooner or later."
"You're going to your office, Dad," said Barry, when they had cleared away, and set the house in order. "No, the office is closed, and will be for some time, I imagine. I'm busy with Neil Fraser. I'm acting paymaster, quartermaster, recruiting sergeant, and half a dozen other things." "I'll go down with you," said Barry, as his father rose to go.
It was not honest in him to endeavor to get rid of her by a side-blow, as it were. And yet this was the attempt which he had hitherto been making. But how was he to tell her the truth? Even Mr. Barry had not understood the state of his mind. Indeed, his mind had altered since he had seen Mr. Barry.
Barry looked considerably puzzled, and turned to the attorney for assistance. "He manes," continued Daly, "that he and the Kellys are good friends, and it wouldn't be any convenience to him just to say anything that wouldn't be pleasing to them, unless we could make him independent of them: isn't that about the long and the short of it, Mr Moylan?" "Indepindent of the Kellys, is it, Mr Daly?
"Awfully glad to see you, old chap," said Captain Neil, for the major was finding difficulty with his speech. "How many left, major?" said Barry. "Five officers and seventy men," said the major in a husky voice. "My God, how those boys stuck." "I shall not be moved," quoted Barry. "That's it! That's it!" said the major.
