"What is it, then?" asked Mrs. Babcock sharply. "I dunno. I know one thing: home's the best place for everybody if they've got one." "I don't think 'tis always. I b'lieve when you're off on an excursion ticket in makin' the best of things, for my part. To-morrow's Sunday, an' I expect to enjoy the meetin' an' seein' the folks.
"I'm afraid she's determined to leave me, and that there's not much hope," said Babcock, despondently, as he gripped the clergyman's hand in token of his gratitude. "Nonsense, my man," asserted Mr. Glynn briskly. "All she needs is an exhortation from me, and she will take you back." Selma was opposed to divorce in theory.
Your friends are going with us, and the Sea Lion is to be left here." "And the prisoners?" "They remain on board. In fact, the Government has a surprise for the conspirators. We may want Babcock and the Moores at Peking." "And you'll send the papers to Washington?" "Yes. Write your report, briefly, for they now know a lot about the wonderful success you have had."
The pew taken by Babcock was one of the last remaining, and there was already talk of building a larger church to replace the chapel where he ministered.
"My friends wouldn't miss me much; at least they'd soon get over the shock; but I might miss myself, Mr. Babcock." Selma was wondering why it was that she rather liked being alone with this man, big enough, indeed, to play the monster, yet half school-boy, but a man who had done well in his calling. He must be capable; he could give her a home in Benham; and it was plain that he loved her.
That had been also Babcock's former conception of a good time, and though he had dimly in mind that he was now a husband and church-member, he strove to conduct himself in such a manner as to maintain his self-respect without becoming a spoil sport. During the first day at the fair Babcock managed to preserve this nice distinction.
Oh! oh! and Margaret was SO proud of those letters! Really, Mr. Hungerford!" She shook her head. Her eyes were brimming over with fun. Cousin Percy's cheeks had lost something of their aristocratic pallor. Margaret Babcock, the daughter of a well known glass manufacturer, had been one of the list of feminine acquaintances whom he had honored with long distance familiarity.
'But, please, Mullins' this was Babcock tertius, a dear little twelve-year-old mother's darling 'I had an awful hack on the knee. I've been to the Matron about it and she gave me some iodine. I've been rubbing it in all day. I thought that would be an excuse off. 'Let's have a look at it, said the impassive Mullins. 'That's a shin-bruise about a week old. Touch your toes.
Field of this one and that one whom she had known, and in whom she had been interested; but she seemed to have forgotten everybody and everything connected with her old life. "Ida Starr is goin' to marry the minister in October," Mrs. Babcock had said the day but one after their arrival. "You know there was some talk about it before you went away, Mis' Field.
In the meanwhile Grant seems to have been brought to believe that Bristow was persecuting Babcock with a view to getting the favor of the reform element in the party and eventually the presidential nomination. Relations between the two became strained and Bristow resigned. The last year of Grant's second administration was blackened by the case of W.W. Belknap, who was then Secretary of War.
