Rand, who had come away from the Fleming home in the white car, had called Ritter from the office of the Justice of the Peace while waiting for Walters to put up bail, after his hearing. Now, en route to Gwinnett's, he was briefing his assistant on what had happened. "So everything's set," he concluded. "Mrs.
Mother may need you, and Mary must not be left here alone. I'll bring Uncle Pete home with me." A moment later the old workman and the general manager, in John's roadster, were on their way to the Mill. When Tom arrived at the cottage with Helen's car the two young women were ready. They were entering the automobile when Billy Rand appeared.
"Do not push innocence upon the board! When did it begin, your deep interest in my concerns? Before the world was made, I think, for always we have been at odds. But this this especial matter, Ludwell Cary, this began with the letter which you wrote and signed 'Aurelius'!" "A letter that told the truth, Mr. Rand." "That is as may be. Telling the truth is at times an occupation full of danger."
It was in the year 1790 that he broke Gideon Rand's resistance to his son's devotion to other gods than those of the Rands. The year that followed that evening on the Albemarle road found Lewis Rand reading law in an office in Charlottesville.
It was over, from the "Dearly beloved, we are gathered here together," to the "Until Death shall them part!" Lewis and Jacqueline Rand wrote their names in the register, then turned to receive the congratulations of those who crowded around them, to smile, and say the expected thing. Rand stooped and kissed Deb, wrung Mrs.
Jefferson was, she knew, upon the defensive in regard to these measures, and she was glad to believe that he had fallen into an ancient habit and was willing, as of old, to expatiate upon his policy to Lewis Rand. She broke the red seals and unfolded the paper. It proved to be a letter covering a letter.
"Sir," answered the Frenchman stiffly, but with an inner vision of Monticello cheer, "I would not vote for you " Rand laughed. "I bear no malice, Mr. Pincornet. Opinion's but opinion. I'll cut no traveller's throat because he likes another road than mine! Come, come! Fish from the river, cakes and coffee, Mr. Pincornet and afterwards wine on the terrace!" The road climbed on.
But Rand had taken Rallston's letters and some other papers with him to Chicago, as directed, and the commanding general had seen in less than no time what an outrageous case had been built up against a young officer whose record up to date had been one that appealed to all his sympathies.
The leg rand, that is, the thick part of the leg above the bony parts, is very nice for mince pies. Some people have an objection to these parts of beef, thinking they must be stringy; but, if boiled very tender, the sinews are not perceived, and add, in fact, to the richness of a soup. The thick part of a thin flank is the most profitable part in the whole ox to buy.
And then she told her that the children were up in the apple tree. "You can go right through the house and out at the other door," she said. "The path is too muddy. Miss Rand will let you in. We are camping out; we haven't brought any of the servants with us." They only had the care-taker and her husband and these men on the place.
