She smiled scornfully at Barron's questions. "A lodger? Well, I daresay I am. I'm John's mother." "His mother?" said Barron, astonished. "I didn't know he had a mother alive." But as he spoke some vague recollection of Theresa's talk in the morning came back upon him. The strange person in the doorway looked at him oddly. "Well, I daresay you didn't. There's a many as would say the same.
Under such circumstances it would appear that the quarrel might have been composed without the shedding of blood. At the word "two" the men fired together, Decatur's bullet struck Barron in the hip, inflicting a severe but not mortal wound. At the same instant Barron's bullet passed through Decatur's abdomen, inflicting a wound necessarily fatal then, probably so, even now.
"All Tories are wicked," said Barbara, who had a Radical father, "except grandpapa, and he, mummy says, is weally a Riberal." With which she had leaped into the arms of her nurse, and was carried off gurgling, while the Bishop threatened her from afar. Then, with a sigh of impatience, as he recognized the signature on the envelope, he resigned himself to Barron's letter.
"Captain Ludlow," said the commodore, "we will teach that fellow good manners. Are your guns in order?" "They are." "We have been taught a lesson by Barron's mishap. Train the guns and be ready to fire." With a speaking trumpet, the commodore once more hailed the sloop with: "What sloop is that?" This time he was greeted with a broadside.

Barron's naturally ruddy colour had faded a little; his eyes blinked.
Upon Barron's refusal, the "Leopard" fired into the "Chesapeake," killed or wounded twenty-one men, and reduced her to submission. The order for search was then enforced. Four of the American crew, considered to be British deserters, were taken away.
In Barron's evidence at the inquest, to which Meynell had given close attention, there had been no hint whatever as to the nature of his conversation with Mrs. Sabin. Nor had there been any need to inquire. The medical evidence was quite clear as to the cause of death advanced brain disease, fatally aggravated by the journey.
Wind-worn and lichen-stained it stood, situated not more than two hundred yards from the spot on which Barron's picture was to be painted. A pathway to outlying farms cut the fields hard by the byre, and about it lay implements of husbandry a chain harrow and a rusty plow.
As commissioner, he was in effect, Barron's superior, and Washington had laid down a rule for General Greene's guidance in a similar case that a superior officer is not amenable to challenge from a junior officer whom he has offended in course of duty. The principle is sound common sense, as everybody, even duellists, will admit.
Naturally Meynell gave the Bishop no hint whatever of the graver matter which had finally compelled Barron's surrender. He described his comparison of the Dawes letters with "a document in the young man's handwriting which I happened to have in my possession," and the gradual but certain conviction it had brought about. "I was extraordinarily blind, however, not to find the clue earlier."
