After listening to the story of the Arnolds I concluded that Brenda had fallen a victim to the cruelty of the Apaches, and that we should find her mutilated and disfigured body. A rapid and excited search was at once began.
After I left Sergeant Henry in the valley, as I passed through there from the Xuacaxélla, he had for three days devoted himself to the amusement of his young hostess, Brenda, and her cousins. There were many reasons why the Arnolds were not fearing an attack at the time, the principal one being that the Indians had recently been defeated at Date Creek.
13th. A sleepless night, through uneasiness about Laura. Towards the morning I came to a resolution to try what change of scene would do to rouse her. She cannot surely remain in her present torpor of insensibility, if I take her away from Limmeridge and surround her with the pleasant faces of old friends? After some consideration I decided on writing to the Arnolds, in Yorkshire.
They give John Jacobs no end of trouble, but you must have help," Asher said thoughtfully. Virginia's mind was not on hired help, however, as the sound of laughter came from the dining room. "The bridal wreath and snowballs make it look like a wedding was expected in there," she declared. "Will the Arnolds and the Archibalds be up? Have you heard from the Spoopendykes and the Gilliwigs?"
Peabody had not troubled to open it; so hastily tearing the envelope, she read the brief note. A check was enclosed for her, and Mr. Gordon suggested that she go to Pineville and visit old friends there for a week or two until his plans were definitely shaped. "I know the Arnolds are in California," he wrote; "but the Bensingers will be glad to have you, or any of your mother's old friends.
A bullet ripped through the Texan's hat. Another burned his side. Directly behind them, Garvey and his gunmen the two Arnolds, Henry Shank, and Stephenson pounded furiously, gaining at every jump. Their mounts were better than those of the Indians, and Kid Wolf saw that they must be stopped at all costs. For the first time, his guns belched flame. The two Arnolds went down, unhorsed.
And there exists a delightful unpublished letter by Harriet Martineau which gives some idea of the excitement roused in the quiet Ambleside valley by Jane Arnold's engagement to the tall Yorkshireman who came from surroundings so different from the academic and scholarly world in which the Arnolds had been brought up.
They 're always doing things for us." "Good! I'll telephone Mrs. Arnold to-night. To-morrow is Saturday, half-holiday. We'll take them down to the lake and come home by moonlight. Oh, Herbert, won't it be lovely?" "You bet it will," exulted Herbert, as he thought of the Arnolds' admiring eyes when their car should sweep up to their door.
There were signs and portents, of course, for the thoughtful; and no doubt some few Matthew Arnolds in their degree to be troubled by them. But while the world endured, and the Last Trump had not sounded, of course the Roman empire would stand. Christianity? Well, yes; it had grown very strong; and the extremists among the Christians were rabid enough against culture of any sort.
I want to see what is in the middle. The Arnolds, you know, went direct to California, and now they'll probably never know what kind of country takes up the space between Pineville and Los Angeles. Of course they saw some of it from the train, but that isn't like getting off and staying. Is it, Bob?" "I suppose not," agreed Bob absently.
