Peter puzzled over it time and time again as he waited in Hooker's Bend for the outcome of Cissie's trial. The octoroon's imprisonment came to an end on the third day after Tump's death. Sam Arkwright's parents had not known of their son's legal proceedings, and Mr. Arkwright immediately quashed the warrant, and hushed up the unfortunate matter as best he could.
If we were to go to school, sending us to this one would save the trouble of making personal inquiries, and perhaps a less wise selection, for Major Buller had confidence in Mr. Arkwright's good judgment. The ladies to whose care his daughter was confided were probably fit to teach us.
There in 1786 two Scotchmen, who claimed to understand Arkwright's mechanism, were employed to make spinning machines, and about the same time another attempt was made at Beverly. In both instances the experiments were encouraged by the State and assisted with grants of money. The machines, operated by horse power, were crude, and the product was irregular and unsatisfactory.
"This way, Mr. Arkwright," he said. "I have a chair waiting for you here." He grasped Arkwright's hand warmly and pulled him into the vacant place at his side. An elderly gentleman on Arkwright's other side moved to make more room for him and shoved a liqueur glass toward him with a friendly nod and pointed at an open box of cigars.
Arkwright's beautiful ballads with great feeling. Mr. Charles Grant dined here yesterday. He is a very sensible man, possessing a vast fund of general information, with gentle and highly-polished manners. What a charm there is in agreeable manners, and how soon one feels at ease with those who possess them!
Their contempt for the conventionalities of society was about equal. Whenever I hear this, that, and the other bragged about a party, what I always say is this, I don't want you to tell me what he his, but what he 'as." Eleanor and I laughed merrily at the anecdote, even if we were not quite converted to Mrs. Arkwright's views.
Jessop, an extensive English iron manufacturer, declared it to be "of as great advantage in the iron trade as Arkwright's machinery was in the cotton-spinning trade"; and Mr. Fairbairn, in his contribution on "Iron" in the Encyclopaedia Britannica, says that it "has effected an entire revolution in the iron industry of Great Britain, and forms the last era in the history of this material."
"Never mind what I said long ago," laughed Alice, trying unsuccessfully to meet his gaze. "One says lots of things, at times, you know." Into Arkwright's eyes came a new light, a light that plainly needed but a breath to fan it into quick fire. "Alice," he said softly, "do you mean that maybe now I needn't try to fight that other tiger skin?" There was no answer.

"Oh, you might as well get used to it, Bertram," bantered Aunt Hannah, "for there'll be a good many 'agains, I fancy." "Why, Aunt Hannah, what do you mean?" Bertram's voice was not quite pleased. "Oh, she'll tell you. It's only that the Greggorys have turned out to be old friends of Mr. Arkwright's." "Friends of Arkwright's!" Bertram's voice was decidedly displeased now.
