Morden's habit of sleeping within closely drawn curtains, from his general informant, James Harwood, the groom, who had received his information from one of the housemaids, in that temple of gossip the servants' hall. Gertrude Eversleigh slept in a white-curtained cot, by the side of Mrs. Morden's bed.
In company, she attracted but little attention, except what her father's money and standing in society claimed for her. On the evening appointed, the Marygolds repaired to the elegant residence of Mrs. Harwood and were ushered into a large and brilliant company, more than half of whom were strangers even to them. Mrs. Lemmington was there, and Mrs. Florence, and many others with whom Mrs.
Harwood, if you should go to Bassett and in course of time, everything running smoothly, he asked you to do something that jarred with those ideals of yours, what should you do?" "I should refuse, sir," answered Dan, earnestly. Fitch nodded gravely. "Very well; then I'd say go ahead. You understand that I'm not predicting that such a moment is inevitable, but it's quite possible.
I'm disappointed, that's all." He paused after opening the door, hoping to be called back, but Harwood had walked to the window and stood with his hands in his pockets staring into the street. This was on Friday, and Harwood took the afternoon train for Waupegan. He had found that when he was tired or lonely or troubled he craved the sight of Sylvia.
Harwood had not previously faced a second generation in his pursuit of Hoosier celebrities, and he breathed a sigh of relief at the prospect of a variation on the threadbare scenario of early hardship, the little red schoolhouse, patient industry, and the laborious attainment of meagre political honors which had begun to bore him.
Bassett was, moreover, reelected to his old seat in the senate without difficulty; and Harwood ran ahead of his associates on the legislative ticket in Marion County, scoring a plurality that testified to his personal popularity. Another campaign must intervene before the United States Senatorship became an acute issue, and meanwhile the party in the state had not in many years been so united.
"You no sooner strike a good thing and work on it for two days than you butt into a dead wall. What? No; there's nothing more for you to-night." A brief note from Morton Bassett, dated at Fraserville, reached Harwood in July. In five lines Bassett asked Dan to meet him at the Whitcomb House on a day and hour succinctly specified.
But Marian so disposed herself at his elbow that he could not without awkwardness refuse her. She murmured Allen's name cordially, leveling her eyes at him smilingly. "I've often heard Mr. Harwood speak of you, Mr. Thatcher! He has a great way of speaking of his friends!"
But the truth must be told, and, at the age of fourteen, Ernest Harwood was decidedly a bad boy. When of suitable age he had been put to school, and for a time made rapid progress in his studies. From the first he was rather averse to study, but as he learned readily and had a most retentive memory he managed to keep pace in his studies with most boys of his age. Mr. and Mrs.
Perhaps William Harwood, who was in charge, remembered well the massacre. The place name Archer's Hope is older even than Jamestown located several miles upstream from it. Here on May 12, 1607 colonists went ashore to evaluate a spot as a site for their initial settlement.
