Some young man, some woman, or old preacher, in cellar, or shed, or corner of a Negro meeting-house, with the alphabet in hand, or a town spelling-book, is their teacher. All are full of enthusiasm with the new knowledge the book is imparting to them." * J. W. Alvord, Superintendent of Schools for the Freedmen's Bureau, 1866.
The ease and luxury of travel have robbed it of its poetry Ruskin was right! But it didn't look romantic to Wendell Phillips just then his chum had failed him the weather was cold, two days of hard jolting lay ahead. And "Ah! yes it is Miss Greene! and Miss Grew, and Mr. Alvord. To Greenfield? why, how fortunate!"
Alvord and Hoyt had a plan which Bird did not approve. Pierce and myself took no part in the debate; we had accepted Bird as leader and we chose to follow him. We were quartered in a log house that had been built for the use of some railway surveyors, but it was then occupied by a man who went by the name of Wood. It was rumored that he was a refugee from Lowell, Mass.
Sanford was a a Shylock! There, can you understand now?" "Who were his debtors? Alvord?" "Yes; Hendricks was one who owed him enormous sums and he was going to make lots of trouble I mean Sanford was why, Eunice, in Sanford's private safe are practically all of Hendricks' stocks and bonds, put up as collateral. Sanford holds mortgages on all Hendricks' belongings real estate, furniture everything.
Let me here say that I am quite aware that long after Miss Grew became Mrs. Alvord, she wrote a most charming little book about Ann Terry Greene, in which she defends the woman against any suspicion that she plotted and planned to snare the heart of Wendell Phillips, on the road to Greenfield. The defense was done in love, but was unnecessary. Ann Terry Greene needs no vindication.

If Aunt Abby thinks she poisoned Sanford, under hypnotism or any other way for the love of heaven, let it go at that! If you don't suspicion will turn back to Eunice again and that's what we want to prevent. Now, no jury would ever convict an old lady " "Nor any woman," said Elliott. "But that isn't the whole thing. I say, Alvord, since Mr.
The man who hired him knew he was privately learning to be a 'human fly, and he had the diabolical thought of hiring him to climb up this house, and get in at the only available window, and kill Mr. Embury with that henbane stuff." "And the man's name?" shouted Shane, "the name of the real criminal?" Fibsy sat silent, looking at Stone. "His name is Alvord E. Hendricks," was Stone's quiet reply.
Then Alvord, the town judge, a man of gigantic stature, rose to his feet and said, in a mimicking, feminine voice: "Gentlemen, I am going to the bar, and I shall be there at least an hour; I wish to be quite alone, as I shall have many important things to drink."
