Perhaps the best way to pursue the next episodes in the quest is in the words of Johnny Blair, the Rhodes Scholar, who jotted down some notes in a journal he kept: We got to Wolverhampton 12:25, Ingersoll time. Had a jolly trip on the train, all the Scorps laying bets as to who would be first to meet Kathleen. I lay low, but did some planning.
At six o'clock that night she died. When the doctor came to tell Nannie that Sarah Maitland was dead, he found her in the parlor, shivering up against her brother. Blair had come to his mother's house early that afternoon; a note from Elizabeth, awaiting him at the River House, had told him of the gravity of Mrs. Maitland's condition, and bidden him "come instantly."
Blair, springing up the front steps, rang; then held his breath to listen for some one coming through the hall; his heart seemed smothering in his throat. "I know she isn't here; she's at Nannie's," he told himself.
General Schofield was permitted to go to Knoxville, to look after matters in his Department of the Ohio; and Generals Blair and Logan went home to look after politics. Many of the regiments were entitled to, and claimed, their discharge, by reason of the expiration of their term of service; so that with victory and success came also many causes of disintegration.
At Elizabeth's door, in a very scared frame of mind lest Mr. Ferguson should come out and catch him, Blair attempted to apologize. "Don't be silly," Elizabeth said, muddy and shivering, but just; "it wasn't your fault. But we're not engaged any more." And that was the end of the love-story! Elizabeth told Cherry-pie that she had "broken with Blair Maitland forever!"
We're going 'way up into Montana after black bear and silver-tips. I'd like to see you facing a nine-hundred-pound she bear with " "Would you?" cuts in Blair. "You know very well I'd be frightened half to death." "Oh, well," says Nutt, "we'd stack you up against a cinnamon cub." "Any kind of bear I should be afraid of," says Sukey. "Not really!" says Hamilton. "Why, say "
Eliza saw her chance. "Right here, sir," she said, taking hold of the door knob. She swung the door open. "Looks very dark," said Blair. "I can't quite see the step. Where is it?" Eliza, eager to add this last specimen to her anthology in the cellar, stepped forward to point out the stairway. With one lusty push Blair shoved her through the door, and banged it to.
He's ready to give body and soul Oh, I'm not just using a phrase body and soul to keep the things that you've given up for your hills. How scornful your hills made Constantine Blair!" "Are you importing metaphorical meanings into my hills?" he asked, sitting down near her. "Yes," she answered. "Mr. Blair didn't, but I do." "Perhaps it was rather a silly thing to say." "No, I don't think so."
"Hardly think so; my time is rather limited, and, well, to tell the truth; I'm from across the line and don't cater much to your royalties." "Royalties!" exclaimed Mr. Blair. "Oh, you mean our governor. Well, that's good rather, must tell the governor that." Mr. Blair laughed long and loud. "You'll forget all that when you are out with us an hour.
The Democrats, who could have won with Grant and who under good leadership still had a bare chance to win, nominated Horatio Seymour of New York and Francis P. Blair of Missouri.
