I told him of my conversation with Oxnard. "I'm glad," I said, "that we're independent enough to refuse such an alliance with the men who are robbing the country." A peculiar, pale smile curled Bishop Cutler's thin lips. "Well, Frank," he replied, "that's just what I want to see you about.
Her cheeks reddened, and her eyes flashed with anger. I stepped forward and she saw my face. My face silenced her. I spoke in the fewest words I could find. "I have been to the cutler's shop at Waterbank," I said. "There is the unfinished inscription on the knife, complete in your handwriting. I could hang you by a word. God forgive me I can't say the word."
So that's how it happens I'm waitin' in the plumber's parlor for Babe Cutler's runaway bride.

Maybe you think you have no interest in financin' Babe Cutler's career. But you have. Can't duck it.
It was just one month after Cutler's departure that his triumph was complete; she consented to be his wife so soon as the minister who travelled on that circuit should enter the neighborhood. But the good man had set out on his circuit only the day before the consent was given, and it would probably be at least a month before his return.
