This is my game, and I intend to play it out alone." Farnham laughed, the quick reaction possibly affecting even his iron nerves. Winston whirled and fronted him, the gray eyes blazing. "Damn you, you sneaking, sneering brute!" he burst forth. "You thief, you woman-beater, you unspeakable cur! I surrender to the sheriff of Gulpin County, not to you.
Farnham and Davenport, Indian traders at Rock Island, the sum of $40,000, to be receipted for in full of all demands against said Indians.
Winston did not immediately reply, puzzling his confused mind in a wholly useless attempt at recalling his ever having heard this man's name before. But Farnham, placed completely at his ease regarding possible recognition, proceeded coolly. "Yet, that does not sufficiently account for my inviting you here." And he leaned farther across the table, slightly lowering his voice.
She turned crimson as the sunset she was gazing at, and she felt as if she could have torn her cheeks with her fingernails for blushing. She was aware of having done nothing wrong, nothing to be ashamed of. She had been all day cherishing the recollection of her visit to Farnham as something too pleasant and delicate to talk about. No evil thought had mingled with it in her own mind.
Gannon promising to do all that was necessary, even if she were obliged to take a later train than she had expected to. Dr. Farnham was in the parlor waiting for me, and uttered a grunt of satisfaction as he saw me enter, fully equipped. "Come; this is business," he said, and led the way at once to his carriage. We did not speak for the first block.
In a place like West Ham or Tottenham you find starved schools and an abundant delocalized industrial population, and, by way of contrast, at Guildford or Farnham for example, you will find enormously rich delocalized people, belonging to the same great community as these workers, who pay only the most trivial poor rate and school rate for the benefit of their few immediate neighbours, and escape altogether from the burthens of West Ham.
After him Farnham and Lane waived their alphabetical privilege. Moody, as nervous as a girl, approached the dumb little man on the floor, and twisting the corner of his coat, inquired in a trembling voice, "Does Bunny love old Goo-goo?" The child looked up with a frightened little query in his eyes. "I'd hate to scare him," Moody added. "I don't mind seein' how he takes to Barney."
Of what use to go to the empty house in Farnham when he could stifle his misery by a night with his friends? No, he could not do that, either! The very thought of them brought a sense of satiety and disgust; the craving for what they would give him would come again in time, no doubt, but for the moment he was sick to the very soul of all they stood for.
I would request him to come on to San Francisco at once on a matter of extreme importance, and his mind being already disturbed concerning his employer he would lose no time in obeying. In Bennett, if I could fairly corner the bogus Farnham, I should have the most valuable witness in the world. My first question was as to whether Mr. Farnham were in the hotel.
Why should he, she is nobody now." "Then you consent," said the Judge, impatiently, for he saw the anxious looks of the little girls and pitied their suspense. Mrs. Farnham removed the handkerchief with its sable border from her eyes, and shook her head disconsolately. "Yes, I consent. What else can I do a poor heart-broken widow is of no account anywhere." The Judge turned away rather abruptly.
