He would have done as much himself, but that would have been expected of a horseman, constantly encountering danger; that an office man, to be pitied in his ignorance, should have fearlessly entered the stall with the fighting stallions was quite a different matter. Even Allis, with her more highly developed sense of character analyzation, felt something of this same influence.
No; if you want to save her, take her away from Slepington; take her to Saratoga, to Newport, to Washington; turn her small head with gayety: she is pretty enough to have a dozen lovers at any watering-place; it is only propinquity that favors Mr. Malden here." "I can't do that, Josephine. I have not the means, and Miss Allis would not have the will, even if she believed in your prescription."
Oh, Allis! my heart was in my mouth; I feel that some day you will come home like this." At that instant Gaynor dashed by them, leaped into the buggy, and called, as he drove off: "I'll have the docthor in a jiffy; the young man's all right!"
Allis knew who the friends were; the clinging touch of stephanotis had come with him. The discrepancy in Crane's sentiments jarred on Allis. That other day this woman had been his trainer's sister, recognized for politic purposes; to-day he had been sitting with "friends."
The sunshine of success had warmed her husband's being into hopeful activity, a brightness was over his spirits that had not been there for months. It was like an augury of completed desire that Crane should come the day of their good fortune with Allis. If she would but marry him there would be little left to worry about.
Now everything will come out right; I know it will. And if it does, if father gets strong, just out of thankfulness, I'll coax him to try something else, for your sake, mother." "No, for his own, Allis. I think only of him in this matter."
"I believe it's a dead heat," said Porter; and Allis noted how calm and restful his voice sounded after the exultant babel of the hoarse-throated watchers. "Where was Lucretia, father?" "Third," he answered, laconically, schooling his voice to indifference. "I hope it's a dead heat, for if Lauzanne gets the verdict I've got to take him.
This drear, repetition was the only expression Mortimer's numbed senses were equal to; but he fought with the ferocity of a tiger his wound but enraged him. They could both escape, Allis knew, if she could bring Mortimer to understand; but they must do it quick, if at all. It was useless.
They have not been taken out for years." I took the sheet back to the blue chest myself, having first observed the number, as I had done before with the underclothes; and locked it in. I came back to my room and sat down by Allis. In about three minutes we saw the figure standing still as before, in the middle of the room.
Mortimer, I want to speak with you." He passed around to her side. Crane and the cashier were still closeted in the latter's office. "Let us go out into the sunshine," Allis said. "Can you will it make any difference?" "I don't think it matters much," he answered, despondently; "things are as bad as they can be, I suppose."
