Ballard's been here, and now you do everything he said, like a good girl, and between the two of 'em they ought to fix you up. I'd pin more faith to a doctor in the hand than to one in the bush a thousand miles away, if 't was me." Jewel smiled on him from heavy eyes. "Did you ever hear of God's needing any help?" she asked.
Homer gets excited and says: "Yes, yes; go on!" And Minna goes on. "When people can't get fair trials in a place," she says, "they always take change of venues." "Change of venues?" says Homer, kind of uneasy, it seemed. "Certainly," says Minna: "they take change of venues. I've worked in Judge Ballard's office long enough to know that much. Why didn't I think of it before?
In each was a needle-book filled with needles large enough to be used by clumsy fingers, a pin ball, a good-sized iron thimble, and a case of thread and yarn for mending, buttons of various sizes, and a bit of beeswax, molded in Mary Ballard's thimble, to wax their linen thread.
I was next started in Lewis' High School, now known as Ballard's Normal School, but was soon compelled to cease going there because of the death of both parents, as already mentioned, in April of that same term. I was now but ten years of age. My aunt took charge of me and of the other children. I was immediately "hired out" to a family named Horton, for my victuals and clothing.
Ballard's reply was, "That I procured the delivery of the Queen of Scots, I am guilty; and that I went about to alter the religion, I am guilty; but that I intended to slay her Majesty, I am not guilty." "Not with his own hand," muttered Cavendish, "but for the rest " "Pity that what is so bravely spoken should be false," thought Richard, "yet it may be to leave the way open to defence."
And after the first day he no longer insisted on my going with him. But he came to Ballard's apartment and we had several talks in which, after one final and fruitless effort to dissuade him from his fight, I gave up and we talked of other things. It was not necessary for me to tell Jerry that I had overheard his interview with Una Habberton.
But Julien was distraught and somber, in spite of brave words. He had not inherited Mary Ballard's way of looking at things, nor his father-in-law's buoyancy.
"Henshaw ain't there, and she said I got to be sure and give him this here piece personally; so come on. He's up to a lawn-feet." "A social function, sir?" I asked. "No; just a lawn-feet up in Judge Ballard's front yard to raise money for new uniforms for the band that's what the boy said in there." "But would it not be highly improper for me to appear there, sir?" I at once objected.
At Ballard's signaling call, he was hastily rejoined by his posse and a hurried examination of Douglass's wound was made. The bullet had entered the skull just above the left temple, making its exit at the back of the head just where the parting of the hair ended. From all appearances it had passed directly through the upper portion of the brain, and Ballard shook his head hopelessly.
Perhaps this was Ballard's handicap all the time. I guess you're in for it, Madge." Nat moved to greet Mrs. Evringham, who gave him no welcoming smile. She leaned back listlessly, not caring what effect she produced. He seemed to her a part of the combination entered into by the Fates to thwart and annoy.
