When our train and its escort reached Fort Whipple, or, rather, the site of that work for we built it after our arrival the Arnolds caught up their cattle from our herd, and after a two weeks' stay in Prescott removed to a section of land which they took up in Skull Valley, ten miles to the west by the mountain-trail, and twenty-five miles by the only practicable wagon-road.
The height of a part of the line explored by Captain Talcott in 1840, lying at the source of Arnolds River, was not determined for the want of a barometer. Two or three miles in length of the line of highlands near the source of the river Du Loup require to be reexamined.
Madam Wetherill thanked Heaven that it was no worse with her. Mount Pleasant was a scene of great gayety during the summer, and the Arnolds and the Shippens held grand court, almost like royalty. She had much to do minding her estate and looking out for some of her southern interests, and took less heed to gay parties.
Nobody can say how many Duvenecks are masquerading at home as Arnolds while their owners wonder why Arnold has never since done any work a tenth as good. The one thing that roused him was baseball, and he was in fine form on the afternoons when he and a few other enthusiasts spent an hour or so on the Lido for practice.
The ride home was delightful, so the Arnolds said. The Arnolds talked of it, indeed, to each other, until they fell asleep but even then they did not talk of it quite so long as their host worked cleaning up the car after the trip. Wheeler kept the automobile now in a neighbor's barn and took care of it himself; it was much cheaper than keeping it in Dearborn's garage.
Other friends the Speddings, the Arnolds at Fox How, the Davys at Ambleside, the Fletchers at Lancrigg formed a delightful circle, all within tolerably easy reach, and affording a haven of kind and nourishing companionship. But, for a thinker upon the practical aspects of political and social science, it was all too far from Labour in the deep mid-ocean, wind and wave and oar.
DEAR MRS. STOWE, I have been at my wits' end to learn how to reach you, as your note bore no direction but "London." Arnolds, Croppers, and others could give no light, and the newspapers tell only where you had been. So I commit this to your publishers, trusting that it will find you somewhere, and in time, perhaps, bring you here. Can't you come?
In February next year Mr Arnold's double repute, as a practical and official "educationist" and as a man of letters, brought him the offer of the care of Prince Thomas of Savoy, son of the Duke of Genoa, and grandson of Victor Emmanuel, who was to attend Harrow School and board with the Arnolds.
I have just seen the sergeant of the guard." "Have you visited the Arnolds?" "Yes, sir; and Miss Brenda says they have not seen him since he came back from you." "Is not Corporal Henry here?" asked Captain Bayard, who had approached and overheard a part of our conversation. "No, sir," I answered. "I sent him to you at Carizo to say we had found no water."
Gilmore, informing him that there was really a prospect of this miserable marriage taking place, and also mentioning my idea of trying what change of scene would do for Laura. I had no heart to go into particulars. Time enough for them when we get nearer to the end of the year. 15th. Three letters for me. The first, from the Arnolds, full of delight at the prospect of seeing Laura and me.
