Balch went late as it was to the office of the chief of police. There he learned, to his great satisfaction, that the governor was in town; and at an early hour the next morning he procured a requisition for the arrest of Mr.
From being anxious to let him down as easily as possible for he was, after all, paying her a compliment she wished the scene over at any cost. He was making the most holy of moments a travesty. She felt amazingly self-possessed. "I appreciate the honour of your intention, Mr. Balch" the language was that of Jane Austen, whom she had just been reading "but I cannot allow it to go on.
You say your new doctor thinks it won't do you any good; but he doesn't pretend to say it will do you harm, does he? Well, then give it a trial. It'll take you out of hot theatres and night restaurants, anyhow.... And all the rest of it.... Eh, Balch?" "Go!" said Mr. Balch hollowly.
Vida Sommers has sent her beautiful daughter to the spring for a pail of water, though everyone in the audience must know that Gordon Balch, the detestable villain, is lurking outside for precisely this to occur. The synopsis beautiful says: "The mother now goes in search of her darling, only to find her struggling in the grasp of Gordon Balch, who is trying to force his attentions on her."

"I have made it payable to bearer, as usual," he said, and he handed it to Jethro. Jethro took it, and absently tore it into little pieces, and threw the pieces on the floor. Mr. Balch watched him in consternation. He began to think the report that Jethro had reached his second childhood was true. "What in Halifax are you doing, Bass?" he cried.
At this time two letters of Crawford were brought to the mind of General Jackson, the one to Alfred Balch, already referred to; the other to John Forsyth, dated the 30th of April, 1830, in which Crawford expressly stated that "Mr. Calhoun had made a proposition to the cabinet of Monroe for punishing him for his conduct in the Seminole war."

Mr. Balch went to the table and seized a pen and filled out a check for an amount that shall be nameless.
